Hot-swapping allows a player at any given time to "switch bodies" with any friendly soldier in their line of sight. Since the game does not allow the player to pick up weapons or kits, this allows the player to switch player kits and use different weapons and equipment, or to switch to a friendly soldier in a vehicle. Hot-swapping also allows the player to quickly "travel" through an area to have a view point from another soldier and use it to their advantage. When the player dies, they will lose 5000 points and immediately hot-swap to a nearby friendly soldier.
