Equip a Bandage or Medkit to bring a downed teammate back on their feet in 99 Nights in the Forest. Bandages are the workhorse for revives, Medkits restore more health, and a Robux Self Revive is the direct path to bringing yourself back mid‑run.
Revive teammates with bandages or medkits
Bandages and Medkits are tools, so they sit on your hotbar rather than in your sack. Both items can revive a fallen ally; Medkits return more HP after the revive.
1 Find the downed teammate on your map, then clear nearby threats so the revive channel won’t be interrupted.
2 Equip a Bandage or Medkit from your hotbar so it appears in your hand; these tools can be used directly on allies.
3 Stand next to the body and hold E to start the revive. A Medkit leaves them with substantially more HP than a Bandage.
4 If the area is unsafe, store the body in your sack first, relocate to camp, unstore it, then hold E with a Bandage or Medkit equipped to complete the revive.
Get bandages fast (reliable sources)
Bandages are rare early on, but there are several consistent ways to acquire them for revives.
1 Pick the Medic class before a run to spawn with two Bandages; at Tier 3, one of those Bandages upgrades into a Medkit.
2 Loot standard chests as you explore; Bandages are a rare drop. Spawns are reported more frequent in snowy areas after the Snow Biome update.
3 Search hospital buildings when they appear. Check the lockers in the rear rooms, but expect heavy wolf presence outside.
4 Plan to craft Bandages later in the run once you rebuild the Anvil; crafting uses 2 rabbit feet and 2 wolf pelts.
Craft bandages at the Anvil Building (late game)
Rebuilding the Anvil unlocks repeatable Bandage crafting so your squad can keep reviving across long nights.
1 Locate the Anvil Building as your fire levels up; it’s a tall circular structure marked with a blacksmith’s anvil icon.
2 Chop through the overgrown entrance with your axe and clear the cultists guarding the interior.
3 Search the building for the base, front, and back anvil parts across multiple floors; climb green vines to reach upper levels.
4 Add each anvil part to your sack, then place them on the ground floor to rebuild the anvil.
5 Use the rebuilt anvil to craft Bandages with 2 rabbit feet and 2 wolf pelts.
Self‑revive with Robux
Self‑reviving during a run is a paid option and is consumed per use.
1 When downed, select the green Self Revive button under the Dead panel; the cost is 45 Robux.
2 Confirm the purchase to respawn at the spot where you fell and immediately continue playing.
3 If you go down again, you’ll need to pay 45 Robux each time. A team‑wide revive option can appear if the entire squad is down.
Class perks that help with revives
Some classes improve your access to revival items and the strength of revives.
Medic: Starts with two Bandages and upgrades one to a Medkit at Tier 3. Berserker: Starts with a Medkit for stronger post‑revive health. Keep a Bandage slotted and your revives become routine. Once the Anvil is online, you’ll rarely run dry when the forest fights back.
