Reading the screen
What every bar, number and button on the HUD means.
Top left
- Heart bar: your health. The screen edges pulse red when it's low.
- Lightning bar: your energy. A dark red section at the end means thirst is capping it.
- Can and drop numbers: hunger and thirst, out of 100. They turn red below 25.
- Weight: how many kilos you're carrying, out of your limit.
- Name and level: your player name (or GUEST) and level, with a gold bar showing progress to the next level. "+XP" pops up next to it when you earn some.
Top middle
- Clock: the day and time. The icon is a sun in daylight and a moon after dark.
- Pause button.
- Co-op code (green, only when playing with friends): the world's code and how many players are in. Tap it for the co-op menu.
Top right
- Minimap: your spot in gold, zombies as red dots, and a blinking gold square for your current goal. The red number is how many zombies are close. Tap it for the big map and Fast Travel.
- Place name: the street, building or area you're in.
- Quest star: solid gold means something is ready (a new quest, fresh jobs on the notice board, or a delivery you can hand in). Blinking means a quest is under way. Dim means nothing's going on. Tap it to open your quests.
Bottom
- Hotbar in the middle.
- Attack, Use, Roll and Bag buttons on the right (or the left, with left-hand attack on).
See Controls for what the buttons do.
