Stop running.

If you are near a pond, dive into it.

Taking off jackets and clothes seems to help.

I don't know. It seems to take awhile, it's not very fast.

Personally, when the character starts to feeling hot, I stop for a little bit until it goes away.

Doing smaller stints of sprinting avoids reaching dangerous levels of overheating.

Wish I did this yesterday instead of stripping down to my whitey tightes and going for a swim at Topolka dam. But if you remove your jacket the affects from overheating should decrease within 10/20 minutes from what I noticed. As Vash stated take a slight break which should also help.

well according to others soaking your buns in water and walking around in your underwear are not doing the trick so maybe slow down a bit brah, smell the roses, maybe not so much Forrest Gumping

i have been "rapidly warming up" for the past couple of days and nothing has come of it, thats while wearing full gorka plus hat and balaclava in rain or sun. Im starting to think its just text with no actual effect atm but i cant be 100% sure though

"Hot" isn't really a problem but when you get the notification "overheating" thats when you need to find a good book and some nice scenery and relax under a tree.

I don't think all servers are at the same temperature at all times. The heating mechanism seems to be tuned up a notch, but before 0.50 it was the cold for some people.

However, it does cause several effects. When you are "Hot" it drains water from your water level faster, and increases that amount if you don't solve the problem.

I don't know if you can die from overheating alone, but I'm assuming overheating either causes death by heat-stroke, or it drains your water level so fast you die from dehydration.

Yeah i noticed the need to drink ALOT more and more offten to get your hydrated back to bright green.

Take off the winter gear, put on the summer gear. Boots generate more heat than shoes. Tactical vests and the like add to your heat problem.

I have nothing but a hoodie, cargo pants, and low hiking boots and I haven't seen a heating message yet.
