Thanks to the color-coded hints on the screen, players don’t feel the need for an extensive HUD inStar Wars Jedi: Survivor. Instead, they rely on a three-part UI that disappears when there’s no action. But with the addition of a few new elements (namely the Slow Mode and new stances), the revamped HUD might confuse beginners. If that’s the case, use this Heads-Up Display guide to learn more about the icons and symbols that pop up during the intense battles ofStar Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - Heads-Up Display Icons Explained
The HUD inJedi Survivorhas three main parts: the D-pad button indicators for Stim, stances, and BD-1 actions; the Force and Block Meters above the Slow Mode icon; the companion and focus buttons.
Stances
In the bottom-left corner, players can see two lightsaber icons. These are Cal Kestis’s current stances, showing how he carries his weapons and their types. In total, there are five stances inJedi Survivor: Single, Double-Bladed, Dual Wield, Crossguard, and Blaster. Players can have only two of these stances equipped at a time—which are assigned to the left and right triggers on the D-pad.
Stim
Shown by a green plus icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen, Stim is an HP regen item. And the number next to the plus icon indicates how many are available. Players can press the up trigger on the D-pad touse Stim and heal.
Health Bar (HP)
LikeJedi Fallen Order,Survivorshows Cal Kestis’s HP next to the stances. It’s a green bar that enlarges asplayers maximize their health.
BD-1
By pressing down on the D-pad, players interact with BD-1, their robot companion, and ask it to do specific tasks like scanning items, unlocking doors, and solving puzzles. BD-1’s status can be seen in the bottom left corner underthe lightsaber stances.
Force Meter
The blue bar at the bottom of the screen shows Cal Kestis’s available Force. Whenever he uses his powers (pulling, pushing, etc.,) the bar drains and regenerates as time passes or as Cal lands successful strike and dodge combos.
Block Meter (Stamina)
On top of the Force Meter, there is another bar that displays Cal’s stamina. It goes down as he deflects projectiles and shields enemy strikes and gradually refills when he’s resting his guard.
Slow Mode
Anew feature inStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, Slow Mode is shown by a golden hourglass at the bottom of the screen—under the Force Meter. When it’s full, the Slow Mode acts like a bullet time option, freezing enemies in their place while Cal moves with no restrictions.
Companion Commands
Whenan ally accompanies Cal, a companion icon can be seen in the bottom right corner. The icon shows if the partner is ready for Cal’s orders, allowing for assigning them to different tasks.
