So there are your basic capabilities: automatic rifle, pistol, jet pack, personal force field, and life bar, the standard kit for a newbie Light Assault soldier. Green is your health, which needs either a Medkit or Medic assistance to recharge. Blue is your personal force field, which recharges slowly over time. You can resupply magazines at weapon terminals, marked on your map with a pistol icon in your faction’s color.īelow these status bars are two horizontal energy bars, one blue and one green. Ammunition doesn’t, and you’ll need to tap the R key to reload partially depleted magazines, or automatically reload when you are empty. Otherwise you’ll develop a nasty case of broken legs. When first experimenting with your jet pack keep the jumps conservative and save a reserve to slow down your landing. That’s your jet pack charge, and it depletes quickly. You’ll see your rifle, a pistol (scroll mouse wheel to switch), ammo counters, and a circular energy bar. The status of your jet pack and weapons are indicated by the lower-right corner of your HUD. And just as you’ve taken all of this in and started thinking about finding a place to hide, some invisible jerk lurking nearby will likely blow your head off. The spires of some weird facility tower over it all, protruding like sharp teeth into the war-torn sky.
The voices of the wounded cry out for medical attention. Dozens of infantry exchange fire all around you. Tanks roll by spewing fire at distant armored columns. Gunships streak overhead, rattling off hundreds of rounds from their crew-served weapons. The scope of a Planetside 2 battle tends to overwhelm newcomers. The first time you land, there’s a good chance you’ll die horribly within seconds. That becomes important when comparing to your main Map. Note that this mini-map includes a contextually shifting compass bar above the display that shows your current absolute heading. In the bottom left corner you’ll see a mini-map.
