I'd advise only limited sprinting against wolves and blizzards if your close to a safe place to get out of the cold.Дў.Cold-Cold can be a fast killer in The Long Dark, esp. With your limited sprinting option now and hypothermia threat you'll really have to keep an eye on that fatigue bar. With the Silent hunter update, Fatigue now affects aiming your bow so for hunting best to start out after you've woken up and healed in the morning. Optimal caloric intake for exploring purposes is 1200-1700 calories, to keep the fatigue from skyrocketing as you are exploring.

Your carrying weight at most will be 30kg, and will slowly go down now little by little the more you are fatigued. Your stats are the most important part of the guide, they are the lifeblood to your condition and if not watched carefully can end you quickly.ДЎ.Fatigue-Fatigue has been revamped with v.152 and is also directly affected by your long term hunger, meaning the longer you go without eating the quicker you will get fatigue.
