Damage is the key to winning in most game modes. Damage can be inflicted by many means, but the majority of damage is dealt through the weapons of the game. There are other forms of damage such as the steam from the pipes in Chinese once shot or the fire present in the Atom Smasher missions. This is usually known as "environmental damage". Another type of damage is damage inflicted by story or challenge AI such as the Batheads or TimeSplitters bolts. Another way to die, as a result of weapons, is the flame removing the health of the player. The complete reduction of the Vampire gauge in Vampire will kill a player too.
Kills and Deaths[]
- Main article: Kills and Deaths
Damage applied to characters leeches from the Health and Armor of them. Once a character has had all their health removed, they are "dead", and have been "killed". Deathmatch game modes use the amount of kills as the score method. Elimination matches use the death as the score method, making it unnecessary to kill but necessary to stay alive.
Weapons[]
The bulk of damage dealt in the TimeSplitters series is through the use of weapons. The weapons of the game vary greatly in the speed of fire, reload times, and damage dealt. Usually, they are made to balance each other out to make weapons better in some aspects. Automatics have quicker fire-rates but aren't as strong. Shotguns and explosives remove more damage, but have slower fire-rates and reload times. Other unique weapons like the Injector and Flamethrower use different standards. The Injector doesn't remove any damage whatsoever, but uses a unique system of "inflation". The Flamethrower inflicts no damage too, it however sets characters on fire which leeches at their health until they are put out or death in TimeSplitters 2 or eventually extinguished in TimeSplitters Future Perfect. The environmental factor of fire in Atom Smasher of TimeSplitters 2 has a different effect and just damages the player but does not light them.

Environmental[]
Environmental damage is damage that has no particular target and is caused by the level itself, therefore varies between story level and arcade maps. Falling into certain death areas is the most common type, but the steam from Chinese and propellers from Zeppelin are example of other methods.
Most of the time they are instant death things, such as falling off map edges like in Temple and Chasm or being ran over by the train in Subway. Another form of environmental damage is given by exiting areas, like falling from the ledge in Heist from the original TimeSplitters, or exiting the play-area for a certain period of time in Last Stand and other challenges in a similar format such as the Behead The Undead challenges from all three games.

AI Attacks[]
Many characters in the story of the games may act differently in the arcade. The common violators are the Undead and the TimeSplitters. Robots also act differently, and some use in-built devices to damage the enemy. Most NPCs also have their own way of damaging the player.
