Official Systems
Wounds, Injuries and Permadeath
A practical pre-launch guide to injury risk, permanent loss and backup-roster planning using confirmed and official-source language.
Officially GroundedLong-tailSearch Intent
permadeath and injury searches are high-intent because they change how players build squads and protect story units.
Pre-launch Boundary
Keep this page practical but conservative: explain the official system, then mark exact values, maps, cooldowns, rewards or final rankings as launch-week verification items.
What We Can Say Now
- The game communicates lasting consequences for squad members.
- Permadeath coverage should separate spoiler-safe survival advice from story outcome spoilers.
- Exact wound values and recovery durations should wait for launch verification.
Page Modules To Build Out
Module 1. Spoiler-safe risk checklist.
Module 2. Backup-role planning for campaign continuity.
Module 3. Post-launch table for wound types and recovery rules.
