Timing

Tracking when strong items come back and calling it out. Saying the second is enough ("belt at 34") – everyone knows the minute.

Respawn times on the game clock
Item	Hardcore	Classic
Amp, Invis	1:49	2:00
Keg	1:31	1:40
Belt	0:55	1:00
Armor, Pads, Boots, Vials	0:27	0:30
Health Pack	0:18	0:20

The clock counts real seconds, items count game time – at Hardcore speed (110 %) they are back sooner.
