- This is incredibly helpful as it allows you to keep track of individuals without having to open each of their menus.

### Apothecary Permadeath Pick Ups
- During a permadeath operation, if an individual fully dies, they will be given 80 seconds to be picked up by an apothecary otherwise their character is permanently dead.
- To pick up an individual who fully died, walk up to their body, pull out the robotic arm tool, and interact with the prompt on their body. It takes about 10 seconds to finish interacting with the prompt on their body. **Note: Your helmet must be on.**
- The Deadlist will only show that a user was downed, not that he was picked up. Apothecaries are adviced to try to remember which individuals they picked up for verification at the end of the operation.

### Important Tips & Tricks
- If an individual is bleeding quickly while unconscious, immediately apply an ET Tube and Oxygen Tank. This will almost always halt or significantly slow their blood loss.
>
- Do not give Adrenaline while the patient's status is "Dead." This will cause the player to be paralyzed and unable to be worked on. You will need to mercy kill them and respawn them. Always defib first.
>
- Tourniquettes typically cause more harm than good, use them as a last resort than a go-to. Oxygen Therapy is a much more effective way of stopping blood loss. **If you are in extreme pain, you will lose your weapons - making the soldier unable to fight even if he's injured.** This is why tourniquettes should be avoided.
