Seasons in West Wood Remake
Westwood, Alberta is the joke and the design.
Westwood, Alberta is the joke and the design. A town this far from help should punish clothing choices, sprint addiction, and the belief that trees are decoration.
What the HUD is Trying to Tell You
The season sneak peek showed a circle for equipped medallion, then health, stamina, thirst, and hunger. Community writeups added hot and cold bars.
Seasonal Routing Differences
Spring
Spring is the baseline season. Establish muscle memory for house numbers, key locations, and safehouse rotations.
Summer
Shorter outdoor sprints, more water management. Stamina is the first thing summer steals. Plan supply runs earlier in the day.
Autumn
Variable weather. Rain makes footsteps quieter - both you and Jerry benefit from reduced audio detection.
Winter
Cold weather is the extreme version. Chimneys and cooked food matter more. The blizzard event is the winter crisis - stay warm or freeze.
Weather Events Layered on Seasons
Blood Moon on Any Season
Blood Moon does not cancel seasonal modifiers - it adds on top. Coffee first, contracts later.
Blizzard
Stay inside, near a chimney, with food already cooked. Blizzard freeze rates were lowered in the August 24 patch.
Rain
Quieter footsteps lie. Both you and Jerry benefit from reduced audio detection.
Power Outage
Information dies. Cameras and headlamps become critical jobs.
