Status Icons

The player Status Icons assist new and veteran players with knowing how they are being affected by multiple game events at once, especially during chaotic moments. Or learning the impact of specific mechanics, as well as their range. They will be displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen.

To display all the following icons, Hints On and High HUD Detail are required, you can find those in the Options menu. Some of these icons may still pop up with these options disabled.
