Starfield’s combat can get intense at times, and if you don't have a stock of Med Packs ready to go, you might have a hard time completing some quests. While the game does have tonnes of healing items throughout the game world, finding them can be tricky at times. If you are wondering where to buy Med Packs in Starfield, here are our recommendations.
Crafting Med Packs in Starfield isn't the only way to heal yourself, so we have some tips to help you get healing items without spending your credits as well. We also recommend looting all enemies and checking crates for medical supplies. While the early game doesn't give you a lot of medical supplies, you should get a steady supply of Med Packs in the later stages of the game through exploration alone.

We also have a list of quests in case you want some credits to purchase Med Packs for yourself. On top of that, you can browse our Starfield guides hub for plenty of advice on Bethesda's new RPG.

Med Packs are priced at 500 credits each, and you can get them from random vendors all over the map. Our favourite Med Pack vendor is Talia O’Shea, who is located at The Well in New Atlantis. She helps out the needy and sells a whole bunch of medical supplies that will be useful for your journey.
