If you are curious as to how to increase max health in Returnal, the tips you need are down in our guide below.

How to Increase Max Health in Returnal

Before you get crazy and think of gear that can make you an alien-killing machine, increasing your health pool in Returnal is less complicated.

Basically, you are looking for the valuable resource that is Silphium Resin. There are different types of it as well. Small ones fill one slot towards increasing your max health or integrity in Returnal, while the large ones fill two slots. You will need to fill out three slots in order to gain a health increase.

There is also Spoiled Resin that runs the chance of hurting you instead of giving you a pip, so you have been warned. In addition, you can also find an artifact that allows you to increase your max health with only two Resin in Returnal.

Fabricators can also allow for augments that can increase your integrity/max health, but they will usually cost plenty of Obolites. Save up, and you could be ready for a health upgrade sooner than you think.

In order to see your progress towards increasing your max health in Returnal, simply take a look next to your health bar. Resin upgrades do not carry over from run to run, so be sure to give yourself the best chance of survival every chance you get.
