Closed: No military unit currently sees you.
Yellow: The military can see you, but they're unaware of your true identity.
Red: The military has identified you as a threat and they will attack.
Note: When the shutter is in the yellow or red state, the enemies that
currently see you are marked with the appropriate color on the mini-map.

SHAPESHIFT ICON: This has three different states:
Gray: Your current form is valid. Military won't engage you unless
your actions reveal your true identity.
Red: Your current form has been compromised and enemies will
engage you on sight.
Active: The icon also acts as a meter. When you are being watched
by the military, your Shutter is yellow. If you perform superhuman
actions, the meter fills with yellow. When it is completely filled, the
icon turns red. This means the military has identified you and will
attack on sight. When the military lose sight of you during an alert,
the icon begins to drain from red back to gray.
If Heller has consumed a person within the world, an icon for the Stored
Form is displayed at the upper left of the mini-map. These are the three
categories of the Shapeshift Icon:
Heller: This is Heller's default form.
Civilian: The form of the last NYZ resident you consumed.
Military: The form of the last soldier or trooper you consumed. Military
forms have the advantage of allowing you to use airbridges, access
//BLACKNET Terminals and travel freely within restricted areas.
SWITCH: The Switch message appears between the two Shapeshift
Icons when you're in Alert, but currently out of the military's sight.
