    Notes:
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the |E| Dying Berserk Buff.

    • If you prefer to be able to receive full heals with your first aid kit over reduced heals, you can swap out the Tenacity Buff for the |V| War Wounds Buff.

    • If you prefer to have a buff that gives AOE healing overtime rather than 1 using your health items should you take lethal damage, you can swap out the |E| Auto-Medical Buff for the |V| Guardian Dispenser Buff. If you instead prefer to help get survivors out of danger, you can swap out either buff for the |E| Displacement Buff.
    • If you prefer to help out other survivors with pain pills/adrenaline shots over clearing bad status effects, you can swap out the |E| Cleansing Pills Buff for the Field Medic Buff.
    • If you prefer to help out the survivors with ammo, with healing, with giving them protection over help from a healing spitter, you can swap out the |E| Cupid's Arrow Buff for the |E| Supporting Role Buff.
