Movement, Stances and Stamina

Stamina

Stamina is indicated by 5 bars at the top right of the screen. When full it’s very hard to see. As it drops it becomes more visible and changes colour.

At 3 bars it starts to become yellow.

By 1 1/2 bars it’s red and you won’t be able to run.

As stamina depletes, your weapon sway will become more pronounced, making it harder to aim. When you run out of stamina you’ll only be able to slow walk.

It can be recovered by resting. How you rest determines recovery speed; stop < crouch < go prone

If you’re moving a long distance and find yourself needing a break to get your stamina back, tell your buddy or squad leader.

Factors Affecting Stamina

• Loadout weight (the heavier you are, the more your stamina will drop)
• Stance (standing < crouching < prone)
• Terrain
• Health (the more injured you are, the more your stamina is affected)
• Hunger and Thirst (the hungrier or thirstier you are, the more your stamina goes down)
• Sprinting uses more stamina than walking
• Weapon position (weapon slung > weapon pointed down > weapon ready > weapon aimed)

Loadout Weight

Your loadout weight can be found at the bottom of your Inventory (I).Some squad members, such heavy gunners, have a heavier loadout. You may sometimes be asked to help carry some ammo or equipment for them, to help even the loads.

Terrain and Speed

Walking is the default speed in game.

Assuming flat terrain it’s broadly stamina neutral, and you’ll be able to keep going without a pause for a long time. You will lose stamina, but at a much slower rate than running. Moving uphill or downhill, particularly on steep inclines, will use considerably more stamina.
