Systems & progression
Deployment HUD
Read the deployment HUD in the developer graphic’s numbered order. It separates navigation, objectives, danger, squad status and carried equipment.
What to check first
Use the map and current objective to navigate, the radiation timer and Threat Level to assess pressure, and squad health/armor and carried supplies before the next fight. The Bank, FOB Stash and overall progression have separate screens.
All 13 HUD regions
| No. | Region | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tac-Map | Mission and POI context, threat areas, compounds, Police/Clinic/Gas/Fire buildings, caches, radiation, position and heading, enemies and pings. |

| 12 | Weapons and equipment | Current weapon name, fire mode, rarity, attachments, loaded ammunition and reserve; secondary icon/ammo; Melee, Tactical and Lethal indicators and quantities. |
