Location
The Yeti Skin mutation can be found in Mountain Pass. Southwest of Ted Yablonski's shack, and then down.
Effects
Cold: +8 - +10 Chill Soaks: 100%
Advantages
- 8-10 Cold Soak - This helps against Gulfhounds and Ghosts.
- Offsets Chiller's Passive - Chiller mutants are rare, but those who do have the mutation can benefit from Yeti Skin's increase in body temperature, which offsets the reduction from Chiller with +5°C to spare.
- Cold Weather Protection - Yeti Skin mutants can survive in cold weather without needing to wear cold gear. This is especially convenient for Flight mutants who don't want to mess around with wearing warm clothes as the Sky can be cold, and the same applies to Weezer Village. Notably, this only prevents the damage one would take from the chill; the slowing effect of trudging through blizzards still applies, and one doesn't thrive in the cold until the Level 2.
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.
