Key Mechanics

• Base max health: 100 HP.
• Overheal cap: 200 HP (reachable via Mega Health or green small health bubbles).
• Armor cap: 200.
• Armor absorbs up to 2/3 of incoming damage.
• Health above 100 decays at 1 HP per second back toward 100.
• Armor above 100 decays at 1 per second back toward 100.
• Health and armor are independent stats; each stacks to 200 separately.

Respawn Timers

Timers begin when the item is picked up. Standard values; map-specific configurations can override these.

Item	Respawn Time
All armor types	25 seconds
Mega Health	35 seconds (standard)
Weapons (standard)	5 seconds

Map Variance

Some maps ship with non-standard Mega Health timers. Vertical Vengeance is a known example: Mega Health respawns at 2 minutes instead of 35 seconds. Always verify item timers per map before assuming standard values apply.
