Return to the Spawn Area
Returning to your team’s home base(by the Curiosity Shop where you spawn) will begin healing you rapidly over time. Health regen in the home base is always high enough to refill your health bar in a matter of seconds, at the expense of the time it takes to return to the base.
If you need to use the base to respawn, use the zipline to get back as fast as possible to and from the line of combat. If it’s early enough in the game, it might just be faster to die and wait out the short respawn time.
Get Healed by NPCs

Heal Using Character Abilities
Multiple characters are equipped with passive or active healing abilities. Certain heroes have abilities imbued with life-stealing properties, or abilities that slowly regenerate their health over time. There are also characters that have active healing abilities, such as McGinnis’Medicinal Specter, which deploys a spirit that heals nearby units when activated. Some of the other heroes with increased healing abilities includeAbrams, Dynamo and Ivy.Be sure to choose your character carefully, as well as experiment with different characters to figure out who meshes best with your play style.
