Hydration

Hydration is one of the main Character Stats. Hydration is a measure of the water level of a character. It slowly decreases over time, as well as when recovering Stamina. Failure to maintain a level of Hydration above 50% will lead to a character receiving progressively worse debuffs. Below 2% Hydration Severely Dehydrated will drain health over time and eventually kill if left untreated.

Temperature

Temperature affects Hydration. If a character is overheating Hydration is decreased at a quicker rate.

• When a character is Hot Hydration is decreased at a rate of 3 per stamina point recovered
• When a character is Sweltering Hydration is decreased at a rate of 6 per stamina point recovered

The perk Well Insulated decreases the amount of Hydration loss when overheating, and makes a character more resistant to overheating in the first place.

Hydration Depletion

Certain items and Foods such as Steroids can reduce your Hydration.

The perk Iron Gut and the drink Red Tea reduce both Hydration and Fullness depletion.

• When Hydration drops below 50%, the status effect Thirsty is applied, notifying you that your Max Stamina is decreased.
• When Hydration drops below 25%, the status effect Dehydrated is applied, notifying you that your Max Stamina is decreased.
• When Hydration drops below 2%, the status effect Severely Dehydrated is applied, notifying you that your Max Stamina is decreased and damaging you over time.

Hydration Restoration

Many Foods increase Hydration by a small amount, and many of the stews raise it by a significant amount. In the game this expressed as a Hydration value. Drinks are the easiest way to restore Hydration.
