Every player starts the game with {{souls|600}}.

==Soul Orbs==

 

 

The floating orbs may be shot or hit with a [[Melee Attack]] to claim the souls. Orbs can be claimed by a single bullet or pellet, regardless of damage. The bullet that hit the orb is refunded to the player's magazine. Certain abilities like {{AbilityIcon|Serrated Knives}} or {{AbilityIcon|Malice}} can also confirm or deny orbs.  

Soul confirmation accounts for latency, which in some situations can cause the player to lose the orb even if they visually seem to have hit it first.  

===Local Soul Sharing===

When souls are to be shared, the game checks two distances to add allied heroes to the "pool" of heroes to split the received souls:

* 45m from the soul orb itself when it is broken

* 30m from the hero that killed the Trooper

If an allied hero is within '''either''' of these distances, souls are shared between the killer and those allied heroes.

Inside each team's base, there is a soul well that releases orbs worth 10 souls each. Unlike regular orbs, these orbs only grant souls if they are confirmed, and they can be either green or orange-colored.

* Teams with fewer souls will gain more souls from all sources (see '''''Comeback Mechanics''''' below).

When a Trooper is killed, 60% of the Trooper's souls drop as a ground orb that flies to allies within 18m and remains on the ground for 18 seconds (scaling to 40 seconds after 10 minutes), while the remaining 40% fly out as a deniable soul orb that enemies can shoot. Both orbs use Soul distribution among nearby allies; enemy ground orbs are visible but cannot be claimed. Killing the Trooper with a [[Melee Attack|melee attack]] grants 100% of the souls instantly, distributed among nearby allies.

===Denizens (Jungle Creeps)===

* Jungle camps contain [[Denizens]] that give souls to players on kill. They do not release soul orbs.   

** In order for Denizens to give souls to both players, both players must deal damage to the Denizen.

** Souls from Denizens are split between all allied players who dealt damage to said Denizens. Unlike Hero and Trooper souls, Denizen souls are always shared equally.

*Souls from Denizens are '''unsecured''' souls.

* {{ItemIcon|Trophy Collector}} is an item that gives the player passive souls per minute.

 

[[File:Unsecured souls.png|thumb|Unsecured souls icon]]{{Quotation|[[The Hidden King]]|Great job, you didn't just take their money, you took a little bit of their self respect!

Souls earned from killing Denizens and destroying Sinner's Sacrifice machines are '''unsecured''' and are lost on death. If a player dies with at least 150 unsecured souls they will be dropped in a '''Soul Container''', which can be claimed by any player by hitting it with a [[Melee Attack|Heavy Melee]]. Soul Containers will despawn after 3 minutes. These containers are marked with a circle icon on the [[Minimap]] and have a green glow effect. If a player dies with fewer than 150 unsecured souls, no Soul Container will drop—they are permanently lost.

* '''Percentage Drain:''' Each second, '''0.5%''' of the player's ''current'' unsecured souls are converted. This means larger amounts of unsecured souls secure faster initially.

* '''Base Drain:''' In addition to the percentage, a flat amount is secured every second. This starts at '''1.6 souls/second''' and increases as the match progresses (scaling with the global bounty growth of ~8% per minute).
