Heads Up Display (HUD)

While you are spawned into the gameworld there are several elements (boxes) around your display perimeter that provide dynamic information on your combat status. You can turn them on or off with the Y key or manage them within Game Settings. Weapons and ammo information, as well as other game related info, are displayed.

Persona / Avatar Status

This display is global no matter what combat unit you are in. It displays your current avatar type (Infantry or Crew) your current stance (Standing, Prone, Kneeling), as well as your Blood and Stamina levels. Pay close attention to these as they let you know what shape you are in.

The green bar element (bottom) gives you a readout of your stamina or ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate or “muscle fuel”).
