When fighting in these spaces, you must do everything you can to avoid damage. Rule of War: Civilian infrastructures are protected areas RULE #4 USE MED KITS ON EVERYONE If you have an unused med kit that works on others, you must give it to those who need it—the friendly enemy.

Инфографика на чёрном фоне показывает четыре правила для геймеров, оформленные как правила ведения войны: не добивать поверженных врагов, не атаковать мирных NPC и гражданские здания и лечить всех подряд. Шутка в абсурдном переносе гуманитарных норм Красного Креста в видеоигры, где игроки обычно стреляют по NPC и врагам без таких ограничений. EN: An infographic on a black background presents four rules for gamers framed as rules of war: do not finish off downed enemies, do not attack non-violent NPCs or civilian buildings, and use med kits on everyone. The joke comes from absurdly applying Red Cross humanitarian principles to video games, where players normally shoot NPCs and enemies without such restrictions.
