Overview[]
Glimmer Fog is a unique variant of heavy fog within Regions of the Far Territory of Great Bear Island: Forsaken Airfield, Zone of Contamination and Sundered Pass.
Like Heavy Fog, Glimmer Fog reduces visibility (preventing Surveying and use of the Magnifying Lens) but also risks Insomnia when the survivor is above-ground, and similar to Auroras: temporarily powers electronics (e.g. Handheld Shortwave Radio, Flashlight, vehicle headlights). Glimmer Fog causes snow and ice to crackle and discharge electricity constantly, while patches of fog flash with misty spectral colored lights.
Insomnia Risk may be avoided by traveling underground or traveling to Transfer Pass.
The nighttime equivalent to Glimmer Fog is the Aurora.
Effects[]
Glimmer Fog shares similarities to Auroras, but both weather types are distinct.
Aurora | Glimmer Fog | |
---|---|---|
Occurs | Night | Day |
Powers Electronics | Yes | Yes |
Aurora Predators | Yes | No |
Electrocution Hazard | Yes | No |
Insomnia Risk | No | Yes |
Occurs In | Any Region | Far Territory |
Note: Flashlights "high beam" mode are effective deterrents against aurora predators (during an Aurora), and while they will be powered during Glimmer Fog, flashlights will be ineffective at deterring non-aurora predators.
