Overview
- Body temperature is a core survival stat that can drop rapidly and become fatal, with low levels causing shivering, blurred vision, and slowed movement.
- Temperature changes with location, clothing condition, activity level, wetness, and fatigue, making gear and pacing crucial.
- Using a car heater is effective when the engine is running with the blower on and doors closed, though warming this way consumes battery power or requires engine operation.
- Indoors, house heaters and fireplaces restore warmth, and you cannot sleep until the body temperature bar turns pink.
- Dry, intact winter clothing preserves insulation, so players should change out of wet or sweaty gear and keep spare outfits ready.
