SuperStriker16 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Now that it’s out, time to see just how miserable misery mode is, I’ll post any key details about my runs here. When I get a better signal, I’ll upload screenshots as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperStriker16 Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 I spawned in on my first attempt, I’m running for the barn, I’m surprised how easy the spawn is, wouldn’t it be interesting to start in HRV or ash canyon, or even blackrock, it’s pretty hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStriker16 Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 So far, I’ve made it to Thompson’s crossing and ripped up a bunch of sheets, and made the cloth hats and gloves, I also found a crowbar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStriker16 Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 I got the first of 5 stages of misery: Diminished Form. Spoiler warning if you wanted to find this out for yourself. Spoiler It occurred approximately ~24 in game hours in, the effects are: Decreased sprint by ~33%, Decreased carry capacity by 5 kilos (11 lbs) Wolves are less likely to flee, not sure by what metric that can be measured by. “A morbid decay has set in.” “You have less stamina, and your carry capacity is reduced. Sensing your vulnerability, wolves are less likely to Flee during a Struggle.” The run was feeling like a normal interloper run before this so this is the beginning of the actual misery of misery mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStriker16 Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 I’m planning on leaving to misery lake through the dam, I need to move quickly, because the cougar starts attacking after 10 days in misery mode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStriker16 Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 I’m going to temporarily pause this run and go explore the new region on my “realistic” run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperStriker16 Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Well, I guess I’ll re-resume misery mode because for me at least the hotfix isn’t out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStriker16 Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 I made it to mystery lake and got to the cabin, traveling in misery mode is difficult, as the global temperature is already at the least it possibly can be globally, being on average -25 degrees C on a sunny clear afternoon, which is punishing. Fortunately I’m getting better clothes and after getting behind a rock away from the wind actually got to only down 2 arrows cold outside without a fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStriker16 Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 (edited) I got the 2nd of the five stages of misery, the effects on the 2nd-4th stages are random, but I got Frigid Bones, spoiler warning if you wanted to find out the effects for yourself. Spoiler This occurred about 5 days after the last effect, about 6 days into the run. Effects: Lowers feel like temperature permanently. Not sure by how much yet exactly, but I’ll do some testing. Whatever the effect is exactly, it certainly reduces the positive effects of clothes, I was already complaining about how the cold made travel more difficult, now it will be certainly be harder to go forge tools. It will definitely make the run harder, albeit it’s a little less than I expected. Edited June 26 by SuperStriker16 Forgot to add the in game time between effects. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStriker16 Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Spoiler The effect dropped the feels like temperature by about 10 degrees C, more than I thought, but survivable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStriker16 Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 I’m currently trying to find a heavy hammer in Mystery lake so I can forge tools. If I can’t find one here, I’ll go to DP and try to find one somewhere along the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStriker16 Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 I’m about to head out for a few hours, I’ll keep going once I get back to my RV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glacia Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Definitely making high tier clothing makes no sense with the -10 C temperature. I don't see an scenario where you can survive for even an small period of time outdoors without depleting the temperature bar.. So.. ¿Misery meta lies around light and basic gear? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStriker16 Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 I forgot to mention that I found the HH in the train car in the ravine, and just made it to coastal highway, now I’m going to attempt to forge tools and arrowheads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
