Isaac suffering the harsh cold temperatures

In the beginning of Chapter 8: off the grid, Isaac wakes up from a very troublesome decent into Tau Volantis. aside from that Isaac's helmet is malfunctioning. This leads to Isaac or Carver to suffer extreme hypothermia. Fortunately Isaac can warm up with nearby fires. If Isaac or Carver were to stay away from a heat source for too long their body temperature would begin to drop, bringing down the number of degrees celsius on the small heads up display portrayed on Isaac's back similar to the oxygen indicator. The most time Isaac can stay alive without any heat is 4 minutes, then he collapses and dies. Isaac has to deal with this until the beginning of chapter eight where Isaac looks for a new suit to withstand the cold. During his search Isaac will find huts with goodies and a generator to fill their body temperature to the maximum which is 37 celsius. Isaac eventually finds a suit to be able to proceed in the story

Trivia

  • Even if Isaac has the arctic survival suit before crashing into Tau Volantis, Isaac will still go through hypothermia.
  • When playing in co-op after the crash land, Carver's helmet will not malfunction like Isaac's but he will still go through hypothermia, even if Carver has the Arctic Survival Suit.
