Combat

Character Status

Alive:

A character who is fully active in the game.
They can move, fight, use abilities, and interact with objectives.
This is the default state until they are put into bleedout or eliminated from play.

Bleedout:

By default, characters are put into bleedout by a single bb strike anywhere on their body, unless they have a special rules unlocked on their character such as resilient, headshot immunity, riot/energy shield, or Juggernaut (detailed below).
In bleedout, a character must immediately take a knee or lay down and cannot fight, use abilities, or equipment. They can call for a medic, crawl (as long as they HEAVILY role-play their wounds) or await aid from teammates.
Do not shoot characters in bleedout unless they hide their sash.
If revived during this state, they return to Alive with gameplay restrictions based on revival rules.
Characters in bleedout can be eliminated early if enemy characters place their hand on their shoulder for 10 seconds, or roleplay melee for 10 seconds (no actual strikes), if eliminated this way Character should hand over visible loot-able props, then return to respawn.
NPC creatures/special melee NPCs can cause bleedout; player melee cannot.
If left unattended for the full bleedout timer (or finished off according to the rules), they transition to Eliminated.

Eliminated:

A character who has fully bled out, been executed, or otherwise taken out of play for the current life.
They must follow respawn rules (e.g., return to their command post, wait out a respawn timer, or other event-specific mechanics).
While eliminated, they may not interact with the game in any way until they have respawned.
Keep sash visible at all times until respawned.

Take 2–7 consecutive BB hits before bleedout (level assigned by GCW staff).
Beskar Armor: Level 2–5 (helmet, chest, back/jetpack, vambrace, 2+ lower-body armor pieces). Resilience for Beskar wearers is calculated off of practical body coverage, which means things like inner elbow, neck, back of knees, armpits, inner thighs will not count against you. This means the more visible armor covering your body the higher the resilience rank you will get assigned.
Aliens/Droids: Level 2–7 (higher for non-humanoid, quality builds).
Imperial Plastoid: Level 2–3 if full canon armor + helmet.
Submit kit photos (front and back) to [email protected] to be assigned your value. Photos should reflect the way you are going to wear it during the event, soft parts and all. Remember only visible armor counts towards the resilience ranking.
