Death occurs when a player's health points drop to zero, resulting in a kill. There are several types of kills that can be inflicted either by players or by the environment. A death yields a range of points to the player or players who dealt the killing blow and adds one point to the victim's death count.

The name of the player and their respective killer is displayed in the recent kills log on the upper right corner of the HUD. After a kill, the player is placed in the respawn cycle and must wait a certain length of time before rejoining the game.

Upon death, a class will turn into a ragdoll and drop their weapon, yielding ammo and metal to other players should they walk over it.
