New details on the healing system in MGSV : TPP
Dislocate arm, for example, allows the game to teach an important mechanics: you heal your wounds on the battlefield. Implementation is more natural than in Snake Eater, where you had to collect medicine, tablets and others. Here are some injuries that you can not recover automatically: if you harm your arm, you can not raise a weapon; if your leg is hurt, you can not run; an injured torso means you'll need a first aid kit to recover, and so on. To relieve you, you must find a safe place and press triangle/y button, here you will not need to enter different menus and apply different type of medicine/kits according to your wound, like in MGS3.
Forget being hurt, pause, heal and come back as new to the battlefield: now you must integrate this act in your daring escape.
For example, during a sequence in which you are wounded, Snake can stagger and react with the elements of the stage. If you approach a trash can, Snake can topple it, fall to the floor and spill; maybe you try to lean on a railing to get up and finish dislocating the arm.
And according to OXM and OPM, D - dog can spot nearby items, and one of the items mentioned are "medical plants/herbs".
