How to deal with frostbite in ARC Raiders

Frostbite in ARC Raiders is a new status condition that debuted with the new Cold Snap Patch. It's a result of the harsh, snowy climate, which manages to shiver the bones of even the most steadfast Raider. This new game mechanic changes the way you approach a match in Embark Studios' latest extraction shooter.

On that note, this article explains how you can deal with frostbite in ARC Raiders.

What is frostbite in ARC Raiders, and when does it trigger?

Frostbite is a new debuff that slowly drains your health points and limits your vision to a narrowed field of view. Furthermore, lakes have frozen due to the harsh snowstorm, and the resulting area is now slippery if the Raiders dare to step on them.

This debuff triggers when you spend too much time outdoors facing the harsh winds of the Cold Snap map variants in ARC Raiders.

How to counter frostbite in ARC Raiders?

In order to deal with this new debuff, you must rethink your loadout to include more supplies that directly replenish your health. Furthermore, you need to plan a route every time you drop into the Cold Snap maps, because staying indoors protects you from frostbite.

If you are deploying into the new map variants with teammates, make sure you prioritize buildings while scavenging the map. Additionally, PvP encounters will have both sides being weakened by the new debuff. Take advantage of this situation and engage frostbitten targets from inside a building to make the most of every opportunity.

You can also use augments like Tactical MK.3, Combat MK.2, and Combat MK.3 to gain a passive heal, which can help counter a bit of the damage dealt by the new environmental hazard in the Cold Snap patch.
