If you have a good cover from your environment

4. Hit point (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

6. Action point (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 you AP regenerates.
