Every fact about Injuries by game version, newest first.

VersionWhat we know
Dev build
  • Dying gives an injury with a timed duration, shown by a temporary bone icon; ten minutes for a minor injury.
  • Injuries stack per death; a third stack is a major injury that sends the player to an outpost and hurts well-being.
  • Injuries clear by sleeping in the ranch bed, paying for an outpost bed, or buying a tonic.
  • Broken bones and other injuries stack; a third death sends you back to your respawn bed.
  • Injured players leave a blood trail, useful in PvP to follow someone hiding a death bag.
  • Injuries show as yellow bone icons in the lower left; two injuries and one more death sends you back to an outpost.
  • Injuries have countdown timers, from seconds to about five minutes.
  • Sleeping in your ranch bed clears major injuries.
  • After dying, a 5-minute debuff makes the next zero-health death instant, skipping the down state; otherwise you go down and can be revived.
  • After a recent death the player has an injured debuff and cannot be revived by a teammate.
  • Debuff prevents chain-reviving teammates repeatedly.
Alpha 5
  • Going down in the Doomsday Bunker gives an injury that lasts for the whole run.
  • While injured, going down again means you cannot be picked up, costing a shared respawn.
March alpha
  • Two injuries stack; a third makes you go down and teleports you away with a red debuff.
  • The debuff is cleared by sleeping it off at home or by paying money to sleep in a bed.
  • Death used to give two minor injuries and then a major one.
