User Guide

• HEALTH — When you have full health this icon is green. As you gradually take
damage, your health icon changes from green to red. When you are getting close
to death, your controller will pulse if controller vibration is set to On in Option
mode (page 6) .
• RADAR — In Single Player games, the radar indicates the direction of your enemies.
In Multiplayer games, it displays the location of your teammates, the loot,
the stash, tag areas and exit points.

the crosshairs turn red. When locked onto a non-combatant or friendly,

the gun icon you see how many bullets are left in your clip. Press the Reload
(default s) button to reload ammo. Reload is automatic when you empty
the weapon AND you have reserve ammo.
• WEAPON HELD — Press the Gun Toggle (default d) button to switch weapons.

action such as picking up a new weapon, kicking open a door or even grabbing
