Health Station



Health Stations will replenish all of Jack's health for a price. Their actual name is Prime Health Unit, seen in many advertisements through Rapture.

BioShock
It is possible to destroy a health station by dealing some damage to it with any weapon or plasmid, rendering it unusable. Such destruction produces one or more First Aid Kits. Note that splash damage from weapons, and effects like Static Discharge, might accidentally destroy the health station, so make sure to stay away from it during close combat, if one intends to keep it operational. Hacking it will reduce the cost of healing to the player, and cause enemies that use the machine to be damaged or killed. Hacked Health stations will flash green in order to separate themselves from unhacked health stations. On the map, health stations are represented by a white cross, surrounded by a faint red outline, regardless of its operational state. It is therefore recommended to verify that the station is indeed operational, as there is no way to repair broken or destroyed ones.

Help Caption
Health stations cost a significant amount of money but completely refill your health bar when used. Successfully hacking a health station lowers the price of healing, and will cause that particular station to deal damage to Splicers who try to use it. Destroying a Health Station may cause some First Aid Kits to spill out, but the station itself will become unusable.
