Problems with Hydration

[Sirin_Baba]

I was in a raid today as you might've guessed, died due to blacked out stomach and hydration. Now the rate of hydration is extremely fast to me, by the time i cleared out the area i was already 33 hydration (last guy blacked out my stomach). And i couldn't find any drinks in time and died in a minute later. So what can i do to prevent future occurings. Such as all the conditions that effect dehydration rate after black stomach. What sort of places i can search to find drinks in shoreline for example, and whether it is time efficient or not to search for them and not ran for the extraction. Relatively new player here, so all the technical info is appreciated.

Hey @Lord_Hammer

Best solution is to carry 1 Golden Star in your Safecontainer. It has 10 charges and fills 100% Hydration and Energy every time.

For the lootspots of drink search dufflebags all over the resort or where ever they are. They are really everywhere. Ofthen they contain even 2 drinks.

In Preliminary patchnotes for 11.5 they write about changes for hydration. Please read it. It is always a good idea to read patchnotes for your favorit game ;).

Best regards

Ah thanks, didn't know about Golden Star. I guess i'll need to carry one in my epsilon every raid from now on. By the way, by dufflebags do you mean the red ones that spawn medical stuff? I looked the ones that were near but nothing spawned.

No the sport bags similar to the once the scavs can cary but stationary on the maps. Looks similar to the medical bags. For example 2 of them are in room 310. 3 in the sport rooms underground and more in bathroom and so on. They are everywhere. Also in the villages. In houses or garages or benches. If you know where to look. You will find more than necessary. Some food and drinks spawn in jackets or on tables or just casually lying around on the ground.

Last question, which i heard from different sources, do the weight of your character or whether you run or walk effect dehydration rate? Wiki page doesn't have that info and i've only read about it from third party sources.

Ok thanks for all the info man.  Cheers.

Not sure about it but i also have the feeling i use less hydration if i sit in a room instead of running all over the map with heavy gear. Maybe a developer can tell us more about this. But on the other hand it is not to important how exactly it works. For safety take drinks with you or golden star when entering a big map. Juice costs not much at therapist.

I am not sure since i havent checked, but if you open your character screen in raid you should see a little arrow pointing down or up, showing you how much value you lose for example hyration per second it is i guess. Lost stomach is -0.15 for example. Maybe like this you can check after running or just measure it over time for example run for 2 minutes and look again after sitting still for 2 minutes.
