Painkillers are the measurement of the physical condition of the game's protagonist in Manhunt 2. Its default maximum is 100%.
Painkillers pickups scattered around Cottonmouth can restore the player's health to the maximum level. Painkiller pickups are generally shaped as a small, glass bottle with a lid and a cross logo on it.
Many things can damage the player's health:
- Being shot
- Stabbed
- Being Beaten
- Exposed to Fire
- Explosives
- Falling from heights
- Hit by a corpse (if Danny punches the White Rabbit corpse in the TVMK Studio, it will swing up and hit him back)
- Brain being wiped clean
When the player's health is completely depleted, the current level will be failed.
Painkillers can be found in various places, such as:
- Cabins
- Trunks
- Wardrobes
- Lockers
- Drawers
