Heatstroke icon?

[La Criatura Espada]

Can someone explain wtf it is? Like I see the body, but everything else is... what!?

Hold H and the icon will get a label explanation

Heat stroke emblem starts white and gets redder the worse your heatstroke is. It is caused unsurpisingly by being 'hot' or 'overheated' for too long. Press 'H' in game to tell you how bad your heatstroke is as a percentage. When bad enough it begins to have effect on your vision and movement. It won't actually kill you - the heat will do that, but it does make life tougher. To make it go away get cool (inside adobe, underground, sometimes underwater, desert armour).

Doesnt pumping a few points into Fortitude help as well?

[ian.silver67]

Oh yeah....forgot that....20 points is good, 30 points and the heat really becomes a thing of the past except in the worst locations....

[La Criatura Espada]

I meant like the actual icon itself. I know H and the percentage. Like it's a body with some stretched out eye

[ian.silver67]

Oh....I think it is a guy holding his arm up to his forehead with a blazing sun behind him.....

[Dan]

Oh I thought it was a fat naked chick :( well.... I was way off!

[ian.silver67]

You may be right...my eyes are not so good these days....or maybe it's just the heatstroke.....

In pve I found putting any points in fort was a waste later in game. Heat is very easy to maintain when you get use to the game. Plus, the ghillie Armour gives better heat resistance and you can get higher grade ghillie in desert loot crates. I'm running around with 400 armor points and about 300 hyper
