Binocular Water Scan
Look-through binocular overlay with smooth zoom — hold the crosshair on a swimmer long enough to scan them and raise your Vigilance.
- Press 1 on Toolbelt — Equip binoculars from your lifeguard gear slots.
- Smooth Zoom — Scroll to zoom in tight on swimmers far out in the water.
- Hold to Scan — Keep the crosshair on a swimmer for 2 seconds to complete the scan.
- IN RANGE / OUT OF RANGE — Each scan tells you whether the swimmer is inside the safe zone.

- Works on Jet Ski — Press B while riding to toggle binoculars without leaving the ski.
- Full-Sweep Bonus — Scan every swimmer in the zone within the sweep window for extra Vigilance pay.
Rescue Buoy Throw
Throwable rescue ring for panicking swimmers — equip the buoy, ride out on the jet ski, throw it to a struggler, and tow them back to shore on a rope.
- Press 3 on Toolbelt — Equip the rescue buoy in your hand.
- Ride the Jet Ski — Blip leads you to the dock; press F to hop on and reach the swim zone fast.

- Tow to Shore — Pull them back toward the green buoy line, then unload on the beach for CPR if needed.
- Rescue Pay Bonus — Every successful tow and rescue adds to your shift payout at clock-out.
Unconscious CPR Rescue
Full rescue chain for swimmers who went under — load unconscious victims on the jet ski, tow them to the beach, and perform a timed CPR minigame to revive them.
- Unconscious in the Water — Swimmers who struggle too long go limp and float face-up on the surface.
- Load on Jet Ski — Dismount near the victim and hold E to piggyback them onto the ski.
- Tow to Beach — Ride back to the shore drop zone near HQ with the victim on your lap.
- Place on Sand — Unload the unconscious swimmer on the beach for emergency treatment.
- CPR Minigame — Hit SPACE in the green zone across multiple compression rounds to revive them.
- Big Safety Boost — A successful revive raises Safety; a failed CPR or death hits it hard.
- Shift Over on Death — Any swimmer death during the shift applies a heavy penalty and can end the run.
- Watch for Ripples — If they went under, scan the surface for ripples to find them before it is too late.
Muscle Beach Weights
Bench press rhythm minigame at Muscle Sands — lift with the regulars between rescues to keep Charisma up so swimmers actually listen to your megaphone.
- Muscle Sands Blip — Follow the map marker to the beach weight area near HQ.
- Press E at the Bench — Sit on the player bench and start a lifting set.
- Arrow Rhythm UI — Arrows fall down four lanes — press the matching key when each hits the bar.
- Ten Reps Per Set — Complete the rep count before too many misses or you drop the bar.
- Charisma Boost — Each finished set raises Charisma (diminishing returns if you spam back-to-back).
- Drop Penalty — Missing too many arrows drops the bar and costs a little Charisma.
- Regulars on the Sand — NPC lifters work out around you so the beach feels alive between calls.
- Megaphone Range — Low Charisma cuts your warning range in half and swimmers may ignore you.
Lifeguard Stats HUD
Three live stat bars on the right of the screen — Safety, Charisma, and Vigilance — with a shift timer and surveillance counter that decide your payout at clock-out.
- Safety — Goes up from megaphone warnings and successful CPR; drops from unwarned drownings and deaths.
- Charisma — Goes up from weight sets; drains over time and controls megaphone range and respect.
- Vigilance — Goes up from binocular scans; drains faster when you wander away from the watch tower.
- White Threshold Line — Keep all three stats above the line for full base pay and the exemplary bonus.
- Shift Timer — Countdown shows how long is left before you need to return to HQ.
- Surveillance Counter — Tracks how many swimmers you have scanned out of the total in the zone.
- Exemplary Shift — Finish with all stats above the threshold and zero deaths for a big bonus.
- Safety at Zero — If Safety hits zero, the shift fails immediately.
Shift Rewards UI
Animated end-of-shift rewards board shown when the timer runs out or you clock out at HQ — three stat cards fill in one by one, then the total payout counts up before you claim.
- Opens on Shift End — Board appears automatically when the shift timer hits zero or you return to HQ to clock out.
- Three Stat Cards — Safety (green), Charisma (orange), and Vigilance (blue) each show value, multiplier, and bonus.
- Animated Fill Bars — Each card's bar and bonus number count up in sequence so players see what they earned.
- Formula Breakdown — On-screen formula shows how Safety × Charisma × Vigilance feeds into the total reward.
- Total Reward Plaque — Large payout number animates at the bottom once all three stats have played in.
- Claim Your Pay — Click Claim Reward (or press E / Enter) to collect cash on the server.
