Taking fatal damage will now put you into a “downed” state, giving you a second chance to save yourself or a teammate.
When your health bar drops to zero, you will receive a secondary health bar that slowly depletes over time. This is your window of opportunity to use bandages to revive yourself or wait for a friend to come to your aid.
While in this state, you can only crawl at a significantly reduced speed and are unable to jump. Additionally, you will drop your entire inventory upon being downed. As your secondary health drains, your vision will become increasingly blurry and dark.
Pro Tips
- Don’t Stop: You must continue the bandaging process without interruption until your health is fully restored.
- Prepare Ahead: Always craft bandages in advance and keep them in your inventory for both yourself and your allies.
- Watch the Environment: Try to avoid being downed in lava; your items will burn upon dropping, and the constant fire damage will prevent you from successfully healing.
- Durability Matters: Bandages have a durability bar that is consumed during the revival process.
