What happens when you die?

[Ashyne]

I've played for 4.5 hours and haven't died yet. What happens when you die? Do you restart back at a nearby Safe Zone? Do you lose any cash (like in Dead Island)?

You lose survival points.

It means I also lose skills in the Survival skill tree if my survival points drop below the requisite for a learned skill?

[Bacon Overlord®]

No.. you lose survival points. As in the tree called "survival". I have died many times and the most I've lost was 250 which you get just from doing side missions... It's not a heavy toll.

[GubbyTheChubby]

unless you dont die several times in a row you wont get harmed much but if you die right after a survival level gained you downlevel

[Horny Shrimp]

Nobody knows... in the very likely scenario you are confronted with death, just don't go into the light !

If I lose enough survival points that my Survivor rank downlevels, will I lose the skills that I already learned? For example, some skills need Survivor Rank # to unlock and learn, if I downlevel below that Rank will I have to re-learn the skill again?

You can't go down a level. The higher your level the more exp you will lose on your current progression to the next survival rank.

Nobody seems to really understand how it exactly works. From my experience it feels like the first time I die in a session I lose a good amount, and then every time I die after that around the same time it's less. But I could be wrong.

From googling the only answer that multiple people seem to say is that depending on how much you've leveled up, you will lose more XP. So if you are close to leveling up you will lose thousands, if you have just leveled up and haven't made much progress on the bar you will not lose as much. Of course, I am not actually sure.

Seems the more points you have towards your next point, the more it takes. I've lost 4400 many times until it is forced to penalize for less.

If you get killed.
