HUD and Tac-Map field guide

What to know

Time Remaining

Tracks storm escalation, not a universal extraction vehicle timer.

Objectives

Story, Dynamic Operation and Side Op tracking appear separately from the DMZ Orders display.

Compass

A 1–360 degree heading and nearby named POI help orient your callouts.

Threat indicators

Area Threat and Hostiles Kill Count describe different escalation systems.

Squad display

Shows health, armor and plate reserves, downed/wounded/dead state, temporary health, cash and relevant equipment condition.

Weapons and supplies

The HUD shows weapon ammunition and active equipment; open the backpack to sort or swap carried supplies.

Tac-Map actions

Zoom, ping, inspect missions and Orders, see threats and radiation, or cancel the current Op through the available controls.

GridReported

Letter and number labels identify a map cell, not an exact door or world-distance measurement.

Before your next move

1. Check timer, squad condition and objective before moving.
2. Open the Tac-Map and ping a useful destination.
3. Read the active mission and its own timer before using an exit or changing objectives.
