-A player '''body temperature''' is one of character [[stats]] in [[DayZ Standalone]]. It is affected by the [[Weather]], [[Clothing]], characer exursion, and heat sources such as [[fireplace]] and [[Heat Pack]].
+'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a Survival Character Stat in [[DayZ Standalone]].
-Your body temperature determines how easy it is to get [[Status Effects#Infection|Infections]]. When your body temperature is elevated, you'll suffer from [[hyperthermia]] causing your to sweat more, which may led to [[dehydration]]. On the other hand becoming too cold will cause [[hypothermia]] which can be deadly.
+[[Category:Character Stats]]
-You can measure body temperature by using a [[Medical Thermometer]]; tell if your temperature is increasing/decreasing by checking your character status message in the chat-area of the screen. "It's chilly out there" means your temperature is currently decreasing. "I am sweating" means your current temperature is currently increasing; and severe hyperthermia/hypothermia status will be indicated in the inventory screen.
-The [[Weather]] is a factor in how warm or cold you are. Temperature will vary, even during the day. Common temperature while day + running is 42°C (107.6°F), while night is 35°C (95°F). Your breath will gauge if it is cold outside, if you can see your breath, get some pants on!
-==Mechanics==
-Body Temperature is affected by 5 core game-play elements:
-* '''Clothing''' – is the main factor in determining your body temperature. Every clothing item you wear has a 'heat value' and they are all combined to give you your total 'heat value' for your character. Smaller, lighter and thinner items have a relatively low 'heat value'. Larger, thicker and heavier clothing items have a higher 'heat value'.
-* '''Rain''' – Rain means wet clothes, which means lower temperatures.
-* '''Sun''' – Clear and Sunny days mean higher temperatures.
-* '''Wind''' – Windy conditions mean lower temperatures.
-* '''Altitude''' – Higher altitudes means lower temperatures.
-These five things combined will determine your characters temperature. Once the temperature is calculated, your temperature will start to slowly increase or decrease until it reaches that value.<ref>[http://dayzintel.com/dayz-standalone/guides/dayz-temperature-guide-survive-hypothermia-hyperthermia Temperature guide survive hypothermia hyperthermia]</ref>
-;You increase your body temperature by:
-* Sit beside a  [[Fireplace]] (very fast)
-* Wear extra clothing items and or Make sure your clothing items are dry.
-* Expose yourself to sunshine or Remaining inside buildings. (slow - moderate based on time of day\night)
-* Descend to lower altitudes
-* Moving (very slow, faster movement speed will neutralize loss)
-;Your body temperature will decrease when:
-* Remove clothing items.
-* Expose yourself to rain. Take a dip in the sea, a lake or a pond - This makes your clothing items 'wet' or 'soaked' (fast)
-* You are outdoors at night (slow)
-* You are outdoors in a windy environment (slow)
