Travelling advanced winter terrain costs more energy! Introducing Snowshoes and skiing.

[Serious Stan 202]

Partially been discussed in the past we have more energy cost by travelling in the sun(warmth), and travelling in the cold. It would IRL cost your body alot more energy. So in dayZ it should be aswell!

Im simply suggesting means of reducing those energy costs by having a couple of tools that also IRL would reduce the costs in a winter landscape. Afterall if the snow is deep and the air is cold its hell of hard running with ordinary boots.

There are some diffrent types of snowshoes and they are not something that replace your ordinary boots.

here is a picture.

You can also get newer models ofc, these are an old example of running snowshoes. you can get a marching military type wich is heavy and newer versions of slim running types wich is very light and tight.

Im sure you all know how skis look like so i wont post a picture of that.

And i would imagine with the new crafting system that you would be able to make skis.

I suppose if there are going to be snowy areas in the game, it would make sense. Running in deep snow, mud or water should also slow you down a lot, too.

Thank you good sir!

Yes i forgot to mention that, using snowshoes or skis would greatly increase your speed, especially if you are packed heavy :)
