Do deployed Medkits despawn after death?

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion

While playing today I screwed up and ran into a daemonhost I didn’t see.

I was carrying a medkit and knew at least one my team needed healing so I deployed it so they could heal after the daemonhost killed me and disappeared.

Afterwards one of the team members gave me grief for wasting the medkit and not healing him. I told him I deployed it before I died and if he hurried he could go back and heal. He said medkits despawn after you die.

Does anyone know if this is true? I know medkits in your inventory are lost when you die, but I’ve never seen or heard of one already thrown out disappearing because the person that deployed it died.

Deployed medkits disappear in general after some time, whatever you used the healing or not.

If you die carrying an item, unless it is a grim, it should be dropped to the ground where you died. At times even if you fall to your death the item can be found close to the edge you fell from.
