The Doc, also known as the medic, is the go-to survivor for healing, reviving, and providing critical support to the team. With a range of powerful abilities and equipment at their disposal, the Doc can help turn the tide in even the direst situations.
In this article, we'll explore the best ways to build your Doc in Back 4 Blood, with a focus on the most effective perks, cards, and playstyle for keeping your team in fighting shape.
Doc's Character Traits
Doc is a support class character who excels at healing her teammates and keeping them alive during battles with the game's various enemy types. As a medic, Doc has a number of abilities that allow her to revive downed allies and heal herself and her teammates more effectively. In addition to her healing capabilities, Doc is also proficient with firearms, making her a versatile addition to any team.
Also, Doc has various interesting Perks:
- The Doc can use field dressings to heal each teammate for 25 Health once every level.
- She starts with a bandage and has a +25 percent trauma resistance bonus to her healing efficiency.
Keeping your team as healthy as possible should therefore be your sole priority when playing Doc — not only alive, but as close to full health as you possibly can.

How To Use Doc
Your main role is to support your team by providing healing, reviving downed allies, and boosting their effectiveness in combat. This means you need to be aware of your surroundings and ready to act quickly to assist your teammates.
In combat, Doc can use a variety of weapons, including assault rifles and shotguns, to hold her own against the Ridden.
- Assault rifles are versatile weapons that are effective at both short and long ranges. They have a high rate of fire, allowing Doc to take down multiple enemies quickly. Assault rifles also have a large ammo capacity, meaning that Doc can engage in extended firefights without having to constantly reload. This makes them a great choice for engaging hordes of zombies.
- Shotguns, on the other hand, are extremely powerful at close range. They can take down enemies with a single shot, making them ideal for dealing with tough special infected. Shotguns are also very effective in tight spaces, such as narrow corridors or staircases, where zombies tend to cluster together.
However, your primary focus should be on keeping your team healthy and supplied with essential items like med kits and ammo.
When playing as Doc, it's also important to communicate with your team, letting them know where you are and what support you can offer. Keep an eye out for any team members who may be struggling, and be ready to provide assistance when needed.
