Never Run Out Of Life In Survival

[Drunken_Child]

When I was playing leveling in solo survival on Cambria Earth, I made it to the 5min mark then I ran out of life support. I was sprinting to the exit, trying to make it before I ran out of life. I knew I was not not going to make it, but then something magical happened, my life stopped draining at 5. I continued to sprint to the exit for at least another minuet with 5 health left.

Yeah, it doesn't drain you to 0, just 5 hp.

This is intentional.

 

One bullet will kill you.

Yeah, you stay alive, but if an enemy even looks at you, you're dead. And actually dead, no shields or anything. It's not a luxury in the slightest.

That's an intentional design feature: you only get drained to 5 health when your life support is drained. Of course without shields you can be killed by even a stray shot.

That's what happens actually. If you read in the Wiki about survival missions, you'll see that after the life support reaches zero, enemies will stop dropping life support capsules, any remaining life support modules will dissapear and your shields and health will drain until you'll be left with 5 hp. Keep in mind though that after 5 minutes when your hp reaches 5 it will start draining again and kill everyone.

I missed the time when your shields actually go up when you run out of oxygen.

Hmm, I never knew.
