-
- If you have a good cover from your environment
[edit] 4. Hit points (HP):
- Defines the amount of damage your character can take before dying. When your hit points reach 0 or below, you fall on the ground, knocked down, which means you can only whisper (and use Faction Chat). While knocked down you are unable to do anything. When your HP goes to -100, you will die. Your HP will regenerate every 15 seconds, allowing your character to stand back up when it reaches 1 or above, or is healed by a teammate.

[edit] 6. Action points (AP):
- Every character has a maximum of 100 AP that regenerates over time. Each action you make (reload, shoot, use a skill, ... ) requires some of your AP. If you do not have these AP you can't do that action. The top right light shows you when your AP regenerates.
In general, it is possible to do actions that require more HP then you currently have. Using items, reloading, using skills. They all can be done while having not enough AP available. However, when doing so, you will enter negative AP. While having negative AP, you can't do anything. Not even run or walk. You can however not shoot if you do not have sufficient AP to do so.

- The aim mode, press this to aim
[edit] 8. Bleed & Radiation:
- This shows your level of bleed and radiation. When you are affected by one of this the corresponding icon will start blinking. Bleed means you are losing blood with time (which means you lose HP) and you should take care of this by using bandages. Radiation means you have been radiated and you should use rad-away or speak with the doctor of your factions as radiation can affect your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. values.
