Rust Auto Heal Bind: Meds on One Key
The fastest way to restock meds in Rust is a heal bind that queues syringes and bandages from one key: bind h "craft.add 1079279582 6; craft.add -2072273936 6". A Medical Syringe (item ID 1079279582) restores 15 health instantly plus 20 over time, and a Bandage (item ID -2072273936) heals 5 and stops bleeding — values verified against the game's item database.
The standard heal bind
Six syringes and six bandages cover most fights. Press H (or any spare key) while looting or farming and the meds queue in the background.

| Item | Item ID | Effect | Workbench |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medical Syringe | 1079279582 | +15 HP instantly, +20 HP over time, -10 radiation | T2 |
| Bandage | -2072273936 | +5 HP, stops 50 bleeding | None |
| Large Medkit | 254522515 | +10 HP, +100 HP over time, stops all bleeding | T2 |
Medkit variant for raids and clan fights
Large Medkits craft from 2 syringes and 10 low grade fuel each, so keep a separate key for them — they heal through heavy damage but are too expensive to spam.

- Syringes and medkits need workbench level 2; bandages craft anywhere.
- craft.add queues crafts — it does not use or equip meds for you.
- Combine this bind with an ammo refill bind for a full combat restock loop.
FAQ
Does an auto heal bind use the syringe automatically?
No. Vanilla Rust binds can queue crafting but cannot consume items from your inventory. The bind restocks meds; you still press the syringe hotbar key to heal.
How much does a Medical Syringe heal in Rust?
15 health instantly and 20 more over time, and it also removes 10 radiation and 5 poison — verified against the decompiled item data.
What resources does the heal bind consume?
Each syringe costs 15 cloth, 10 metal fragments, and 10 low grade fuel; each bandage costs 4 cloth. Six of each per press adds up — keep cloth stocked.
