The UI provides vital information during gameplay. In the top-left, you'll find Snake's health bar (green) and Psyche gauge (blue). The Psyche gauge depletes under stress and affects aiming stability and CQC effectiveness. The bottom-left displays your equipped weapon and item, along with ammo count. The radar (top-right) shows enemy positions and your current alert status. Pay close attention to the alert status: 'CAUTION' means enemies are suspicious, 'ALERT' means you've been spotted, and 'EVASION' means enemies are actively searching for you. Understanding these elements is key to tactical decision-making.
