Extreme Cold
The central environmental threat. Extreme cold shapes shelter planning, thermal equipment, routes, expedition timing, and recovery across the frozen open world.
Endless winter drives shelter construction, thermal equipment, route planning, and expedition length. Caught in the open during a sub-zero whiteout, players can exhaust quickly and die rapidly.
