The bottom left of your HUD shows icons for everything currently affecting you. A green frame is something helping you, a red frame something hurting you. Icons with a timer show a ring that empties as the effect runs out.
Marines#
| Icon | Status | What it means |
|---|---|---|
 | Parasited | A skulk (or Rupture) parasited you: the whole alien team sees you through walls for 44 s. Nothing removes it early: it wears off. Always shown |
 | Corroded | You are in bile: it is eating your armor (only armor, never health) |
 | Spores | You are in a spore cloud: gas damage that ignores armor. Get out of it |
 | Nano Shield | The commander shielded you: damage taken ×68% for 3 s. More |
 | Catalyst | You picked up a catalyst pack: faster movement and firing for 5 s |
 | Being welded | A marine or MAC is welding your armor back. Hold still behind them |

 | On fire | A Flamethrower (or cluster grenade) set you on fire: you take damage over time and heal at 50% speed. A gorge's heal spray can put it out |
 | Electrified | A pulse grenade hit you: for 5 s you attack at 80% speed and regain energy at 70% speed |
 | Nerve gas | You are in a nerve gas cloud (50 damage per second to armor). Leave the cloud |

 | Enzyme | A Drifter enzyme cloud: you attack faster |
 | Umbra | You are in a lerk's Umbra: bullets and grenades do ×80% damage to you |
 | Cloaked | You are cloaked by a Shade or Camouflage. Attacking or moving fast reveals you |
