Learn about SSX 3's Pulse Goggles and Solar Panels, including their INTENSITY rating and how they protect against Extreme Cold.
Ty's "Pulse Goggles" are noted for their high INTENSITY rating, making them approximately equivalent to "Lv 6 Bright Pulse Goggles" in effectiveness.
Solar Panels, referred to as "Solars" in the Gear selections menu, are crucial equipment designed to heat your character and protect them from Extreme Cold conditions. When exposed to Extreme Cold, a Core Temperature indicator will appear on your HUD (Heads-Up Display). This indicator depletes when you remain in shadows, and if it reaches zero, your character will freeze to death. Without a Solar Panel equipped, your Core Temperature indicator will not refill.
To manage your Core Temperature when a Solar Panel is equipped and it begins to decrease, you must move into sunlight to increase it. It is important to note that prolonged exposure to shadows, even if you manage to warm up again, will reduce your maximum Core Temperature, making it progressively more difficult to stay warm.
Solar Panels have two key stats that influence their performance: COLD PROTECTION and SOLAR EFFICIENCY.
- Always check your Core Temperature indicator on the HUD when in Extreme Cold areas.
- Seek sunlight immediately if your Core Temperature starts to drop.
- Be aware that staying in shadows too long permanently lowers your maximum Core Temperature capacity.
- Equip Solar Panels for any runs through areas with Extreme Cold.
