==Overview==
{{Quote2|Your body temperature is very low. If it remains low, you'll get Hypothermia.|In-game description}}If the player stays out in the freezing cold for too long, and their [[Clothing]] is not sufficiently warm enough to keep their [[Feels Like]] temperature above 0°, their [[Warmth]] [[Needs|Need]] will drop. Once Warmth hits zero and reaches "Freezing", the Hypothermia Risk will appear. Should a player continue to freeze in this state, they will gain the [[Hypothermia]] affliction after 2 hours.

==Tips==
*The treatment for Hypothermia and Hypothermia Risk is keeping Warmth above freezing until the affliction heals. Should the player start freezing while recovering from Hypothermia, the recovery time will reset.
*The time to recover from Hypothermia is based on the experience mode: 6 hours for Pilgrim, 12 for Voyageur, 18 for Stalker and 24 for Interloper. Remaining recovery time is shown on the Status menu.
*[[Warming Up|Hot]] food or drinks and [[Campfire|campfires]] can help stay above freezing, even when outdoors.
*Freezing, even without Hypothermia, is by far the deadliest Need (Freezing: 20% Condition loss per hour (40% with Hypothermia), Thirst: 2% per hour, Hunger/Fatigue 1% per hour).
