Health States are a Game Mechanic exclusive to Survivors 
in Identity V 
.
Overview[ | ]
Survivors have 3 Health States: Healthy, Injured, and Downed.
Health States can affect a Survivor's survivability and also inhibit certain interactions.
Healthy State[ | ]
This is the default Health State of Survivors. They start the match in this Health State.
Damage[ | ]
Receiving damage from a Hunter puts Healthy Survivors into the Injured State.
Terror Shock[ | ]
Terror Shock is double damage from a Hunter, which puts Healthy Survivors directly into the Downed State.
Injured State[ | ]
This is the second Health State of Survivors that have been injured by a Hunter.
Though an injured Survivors limps, their Movement Speed is unaffected and the same as when Healthy.
Receiving damage from a Hunter puts Injured Survivors into the Downed State.
Downed State[ | ]
In the Downed State (also referred to as Incapacitated), a Survivor's movement speed is limited to a slow crawl.
A crawling Survivor has two options: recover as much health as they can, or crawl away to find help. Without the aid of the Exit Path 
Talent, a Survivor cannot fully recover by themselves; they will need another Survivor to finish healing them. A crawling Survivor can be picked up by the Hunter and brought to a Rocket Chair.
While in the Downed State, Survivor's "Tenacity" slowly depletes until death. Tenacity in this state depletes 4 times as slow as when tied to a rocket chair. The progress can be seen by the Survivor's Icon in the HUD.
Downed Survivors can see the Auras of their teammates and vice versa.
- A Hunter can see the Aura of a Downed Survivor if they have the Deer Hunt Talent.
- The Borrowed Time Talent instantly recovers a Survivor from any Health State when the Exit Gates become activated.
(For example, if a survivor is injured with the borrowed time and the exit gates become powered, they will be in the health state.)
Healing[ | ]
Healing can put Survivors back into higher Health States.
- It is possible to heal oneself with a Syringe
or being healed by other Survivors back to Healthy. - A Hunter can see the location of a Survivor being healed or healing themselves with a the Street Sweeper Talent.
