SHAPESHIFT ICON: This has three different states:

Gray: Your current form is valid. Military won't engage you unless your

actions reveal your true identity.

Red: Your current form has been compromised and enemies will engage

you on sight.

Active: The icon also acts as a meter. When you are being watched by

the military, your Shutter is yellow. If you perform superhuman actions,

the meter fills with yellow. When it is completely filled, the icon turns red.

This means the military has identified you and will attack on sight. When

the military lose sight of you during an alert, the icon begins to drain

from red back to gray.

If Heller has consumed a person within the world, an icon for the Stored Form

is displayed at the upper left of the mini-map. These are the three categories
of the Shapeshift Icon:

Heller: This is Heller's default form.

Civilian: The form of the last NYZ resident you consumed.

Military: The form of the last soldier or trooper you consumed. Military

forms have the advantage of allowing you to use airbridges, access

//BLACKNET Terminals and travel freely within restricted areas.

SWITCH:

The Switch message appears between the two Shapeshift

Icons when you're in Alert, but currently out of the military's sight.

The Shutter tells you whether or not you are being watched by the

military using the following states:

Closed: No military unit currently sees you.

Yellow:

The military can see you, but they're unaware of your true identity.

Red:

The military has identified you as a threat and they will attack.

Note: When the shutter is in the yellow or red state, the enemies that

currently see you are marked with the appropriate color on the mini-map.
