Injury, Trauma Team and death

Going down, plans, injuries and permanent death.

Version 1, updated History

Getting hurt in Night City is slow, expensive and real. There is no instant respawn.

When you go down

  • You stay down. Call Trauma Team from the City tab of your holophone, type /911, or wait for someone to call for you.
  • An on-duty medic stabilises you and evacuates you to Vik's clinic, or treats you where you lie.
  • If nobody comes, you can give up and wake at Vik's clinic later. You wake badly hurt, and there is a hospital bill of 500 €⁠$.
  • New life rule: you don't remember what put you down, who did it or where. No revenge, no going back to the scene.

Trauma Team plans

Plans are bought at a Trauma Team kiosk and renew from your bank account. Higher plans are answered first and cover more of each fee.

Without a plan you pay the full fee: 100 €⁠$ for a patch-up, 300 €⁠$ for a revive.

Injuries

  • After a revive you stay injured for a while: lower maximum health and no natural healing until a medic treats you.
  • Play it. Walk slower, avoid fights, see a medic.
  • Hunger or thirst at zero never kills you: your character collapses to their last strength until they eat or drink.

Permanent death

A character dies for good only with your consent, by a staff ruling, or as a sentence of the Night City Court after a trial. See rule 6.4.
