View source for Yeti Skin

Yeti Skin is a soak [[mutations|mutation]] which gives resistance against cold damage and cold debuffs. Prequisite for [[Yeti Fur]], and popular for that reason.

== Location ==
Mountain Pass. A short way west/northwest of Ted Yablonski's shack (the guy who throws bombs), then down.

== Effects ==
This mutation grants the following effects:
  100% cold debuff resistance
  8-10 cold soak
  Passive body temparature increase by +10°C
  +2 HP

== Advantages ==
* '''8-10 cold soak.''' This helps against [[Gulfhound]]s, ghosts, damage from [[Chiller]], and iceblox ammo (though other damage types are more frequently used by gunners).
* '''Helps against Chiller.''' Chiller imposes cold debuffs on its target, and Yeti Skin will soak those, though it will ''not'' help against the separate [[Buffs_and_Debuffs|"chill" debuff]] that is specific to chiller.
* '''Offsets Chiller's passive.''' Chiller mutants are rare, but those who do have the mutation can benefit from Yet Skin's increase in body temperature, which offsets the reduction from Chiller with +5°C to spare.
* '''Convenience.''' Yeti skin prevents mutants from needing to wear cold gear in cold weather. This is especially convenient for [[Flight]] mutants, because the sky is very cold.
* '''+2 HP''' As of the September 2021 change. More HP never goes out of style.

== Disadvantages ==
* '''Heat.''' Yeti skin enhances the heat of already hot areas. Summertime [[Coventry Island]] is particularly brutal for Yeti Skin mutants.
* '''Replaceable.''' Environmental cold is very easy to guard against; wearing cold gear works just fine.
* '''Cold damage is rare.''' Ghost and gulfhound dodge is easy enough to dodge, and gunners have access to completely unsoakable damage instead of iceblox.

== Appearance ==
This mutation will add the following line to a character's description:
 His/Her/Its skin is thick and dusted with white fur.
