have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic
condition or has had seizures of any kind, consult your physician before playing. IMMEDIATELY
DISCONTINUE use and consult your physician before resuming gameplay if you or your child
experience any of the following health problems or symptoms:
• dizziness • eye or muscle twitches • disorientation • any involuntary movement
• altered vision • loss of awareness • seizures or convulsion.
RESUME GAMEPLAY ONLY ON APPROVAL OF YOUR PHYSICIAN.
______________________________________________________________________________

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

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.
