Entry
Health is a measure of your vitality. Your Max Health increases when you level up. It can be increased further by investing in your Body Attribute as well as in certain Perks and cyberware.
Outside of combat, your Health will fully regenerate automatically. It regenerates even faster when you consume food.
During combat, Health regeneration is not available by default. You can unlock this ability by acquiring the Painkiller Perk, which can be found in the Body Attribute's Perk tree. Taking a shower in V's apartment will also temporarily give you this ability.
Armor reduces the amount of damage you take from direct hits. As you progress, your enemies will gain access to more powerful weapons. Increasing your Armor will improve your chances of survival. Cyberware is the primary source of Armor, but some Perks and clothing items can help reduce the damage you take in other ways.
