Tips
- •Find 3 Salewa first aid kits in raid and hand them to Therapist. They must be found in raid, so flea market purchases do not count
- •Salewas spawn in medbags, medical crates, and on medical spawns: Interchange Emercom offices, the Customs dorms medbag spawns, and Ground Zero's Emercom checkpoint are reliable
- •You can also craft Salewas at Medstation level 1 in your hideout, and crafted items count as found in raid
- •Dead PMCs often carry Salewas, but looted ones only count if the original owner never used them and they still have FIR status, so body loot usually does not work
- •This unlocks Therapist's quest line and is required for Kappa. Prioritize it in your first days of a wipe
