Exhausted or tired?

[dudeworthington]

What does it mean to be exhausted and tired?

I assume tired just means "went on a mission the day prior and is unavailable" and lasts for a day.

I have no idea what exhausted means. It just sounds to me like "more tired". It doesn't sound so bad but I actually have no idea.

The reason I ask is that I got the mess hall brawling event. I'm inclined to pick putting them both in isolation: both get 3 XP and both become exhausted. But I don't know enough about exhausted status.

Tired allows you to deploy them again, at a loss of bravery and accuracy. Exhausted will not allow you to deploy them

Thanks! How long does each last?

It's explained in the codex under the FATIGUE section, but exhausted lasts one day.

As others said, Exhausted is worse than Tired. Tired you just get by default if you deploy a Marine to a mission (though there is an unlockable trait that negates this bonus). You become exhausted I believe if you take a Tired marine on a mission or from certain events.

Oh wow! Love your channel, huge fan!

Tired gives penalty to bravery and accuracy and lasts 1-2 days but marine is still deployable. If a tired marine is deployed, they get exhausted. Exhausted doesn't allow deployment and takes 2 days to go away.

Try to always get Unbreakable Will perk that negates tired/exhausted status, it works even if marine is already tired/exhausted. It's the number 1 perk and makes it possible to have a dream team that deploys every day.

Unbreakable will is nice, but considering it can be extremely difficult in many missions to avoid injuries it sometimes isn't as useful as you would think.

If you do a large number of shorter deployments and the Aliens never get through your armor of course then you might be fine, or if playing on an easier difficulty.

But if you spent an hour or more on a level, eventually you might take a few hits, and then you will need as long to recover health damage as you would to not be tired or exhausted anyway.

That's a valid point. You would need lots of armor and play carefully to get full benefit from this perk.

I’ve seen characters exhausted for as high as 3 days. If you’re playing safe and have docs on hand you can usually have at least the core of your A team ready to go the next day backed up by a few rookies/B team. Unbreakable Will can also completely negate Tired/Exhaustion penalties that occur in some Events, which can mean pure profit for you (it also means Intensive Training can be used for everyone without worrying about keeping a few available for deployments). It’s a deceptively powerful perk.

That shouldn't happen. Unless the marines were also in the medbay. A fully healed but exhausted or tired marine should return to normal after one day.

Happened from the “marines are fighting” event. My only Sgt got hit with a 3 day exhaustion.

I am still struggling to understand what actually triggers tired and exhausted. I went on a deployment with completely fresh marines, some get back tired, some exhausted. No one reached 100% stress. What are the triggers? According to the codex they should have just been tired.
And second question, do both tired and exhausted really disappear after one day if there is no wound in play?
