Overview[edit]
Status effects include different player conditions that are usually caused by a specific weapon and can be both positive and negative. Status effects affect player's view and appearance, and are also displayed on the player's HUD, and thus can be easily determined both by the affected player and all the other players. It is possible for multiple status effects to be simultaneously applied to a player, in that case all of their visual effects will be visible at the same time, and HUD will cycle between their icons, showing only one at a time.
All status effects are removed after certain amount of time or player's death, and can usually be cured by the Recovery Injection. Some of the effects also disappear when the affected player submerges in water or picks up a dog tag from killed enemy player.
Negative effects[edit]
Poison[edit]
The title of this section was translated for the wiki. The name of this subject in the original language, Japanese, is "毒". |
The Poison effect causes player to slowly lose health. Poison deals 3 points of damage each 1.5 seconds and lasts for 18 seconds if not cured,[1] thus being able to deal a maximum of 39 points of damage in 13 hits. Player's view will be tinted purple with occasional bubble effects, other players will see purple smoke coming from the infected. All players that touch the smoke will also become infected. It is indicated by a purple skull icon.
Players can get this effect by getting hit by a Poison Crossbow's bolt or touching the purple smoke from other infected players, Poison Grenade or exploded poison barrels, making it one of the only two status effects not requiring a specific weapon (the other one being restart invulnerability).
This status effect can also be cured by submerging in water or picking up enemy dog tags.

Capture[edit]
The title of this section was translated for the wiki. The name of this subject in the original language, Japanese, is "捕縛". |
The Capture effect stops player from being able to move and attack. The effect lasts for a maximum of 10 seconds, but the captured player may escape faster by attempting to move in alternating opposite directions (left-right or forwards-backwards), which is indicated on the screen. Alternating between non-opposite directions, as well as alternating between standing still and moving in one direction, will not shorten the capture time. While captured, player appears to be surrounded by a semi-transparent cylindrical wall with sparks flying off after each escape attempt. It is indicated by a pink ring icon.
Power of the capture effect is also different for each character. Capture power indicates how many attempts to move in two opposite directions have to be made.
| Character | Ranger | Soldier | Sniper | Engineer | Medic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capture power[1] | 12 | 18 | 15 | 17 | 15 |
Players can get this effect by being in the explosion radius of the Shake Trap, Powershake or Capture Grenade.
This status effect can not be cured by the Recovery Injection.

Players get the Paint status effect after being shot with the Paint Gun. Players affected become covered in light-green paint, which blocks their field of view, and are constantly displayed on the enemy radar.

Players get the Whiteout effect by being near the Whiteout Grenade's explosion. When under this effect, player's screen becomes completely white, except for the HUD. This status effect has no HUD icon and doesn't affect the player's model, thus other players have no easy way to determine whether a player is blinded or not.
This status effect can not be cured by the Recovery Injection.

Marking[edit]
The title of this section was translated for the wiki. The name of this subject in the original language, Japanese, is "マーキング". |

Restart Invulnerability[edit]
The title of this section was translated for the wiki. The name of this subject in the original language, Japanese, is "リスタート無敵". |
Restart invulnerability is the second of the two status effects that does not require specific weapon or item (the first one being poison due to the poisonous gas barrels). It is applied automatically upon player's spawn, and blocks all incoming damage to the player. It will also prevent any negative status effects from being applied to the player, positive effects, however, can still be obtained. Other players will see a "RESTART" text floating in front of the player, in first person view the effect is indicated by a circle with "RESTART!" text in it that rotates around the crosshair, this same circle is also displayed on the HUD. This status effect can stay active for only 5 seconds.

Drink effects[edit]
Status effects obtained from drinks are unique in that only one drink's effect can be applied to a player at the same time, if a drink is used or picked up while some other drink's effect is already active, the first effect will be cancelled. All of these effects also have two levels, the second can be obtained by using or picking up a drink while the same drink's effect is already active. If a third drink of the same type is used or picked up after that, it will be consumed, but will only prolong the duration of the effect.

Invisibility[edit]
The title of this section is unofficial. Although it is based on official information, the actual name of this subject was created for the wiki. |
Available from the Invisible Suit. This effect allows the player to become partially invisible. This effect only acts on the player himself, the held weapons can still be seen, except for the Invisible Suit itself. Player's hands in first person view are also supposed to disappear, but this does not work with some weapons, likely due to the Invisible Suit not being finished. Player is able to use weapons while invisible, but becomes visible after taking damage. Activation and deactivation of this effect is accompanied by sparks and electrical noises. This status effect's maximum duration time is 20 seconds.
