Cold Snap's made the Rust Belt feel like it's trying to kill you on purpose, and after a few rough raids I get why people are panicking. You step outside, you start stacking frostbite, and it creeps up faster than your brain expects. When your Raider starts shivering, don't "just grab one more box." Move. Cut across cover, duck into a building, and let the meter calm down. If you're already thinking about speeding things up, ARC Raiders Items are one option people talk about, but even then you still need to survive long enough to cash anything in.



Play The Weather, Not The Map.
Most wipes I've watched lately come from the same mistake: long outdoor fights. Someone takes a peek, then another, and suddenly you're trading shots in an open snowfield while your health quietly drains. Try flipping the script. Drag fights indoors on purpose. You'll reset the snow buildup, tighten sightlines, and force close-range decisions where sound and timing matter more than a lucky headglitch. Doors become tools. Stairwells become traps. If you've got to cross open ground, do it like you mean it—smoke, sprint, and don't stop to admire the loot sparkle.



Flickering Flames: Plan Your Candles Early.
The donation track looks scary until you do the maths. You need 260 Candleberries to finish all five stages, but the XP rewards cough up roughly 180 on their own. That means your real job is farming the remaining chunk without losing your kit every other run. I've had the most consistent pulls at the Dam Battlegrounds. Run a loop that touches the Hydroponic Dome and then swings through the Scrapyard, and you'll usually walk out with 30–40 berries if you stay focused. Keep your eyes low for those bright red bushes—they're obvious once you've trained yourself to spot them against all that white.



The Junk Hunt: Batteries First, Mushrooms Last.
The berries aren't what slow most squads down. It's the weird, specific upgrade junk. Stage 1 goes quick if you're already looting sensibly. Stage 2 is where people stall, because Industrial Batteries feel random until you learn their habits—hit the Spaceport east trench and stop wasting time rummaging every locker you see. Stage 3 and Stage 4 are mostly about staying alive and banking progress. Then Stage 5 asks for Mushrooms, and yep, it's annoying: skip interiors, check felled trees and rotting logs by riverbanks, especially around Bastion. If you're chasing the Snap Hook and Snowglobe Charm and your time's tight, some players choose to buy BluePrint and keep their evenings free instead of living in the snow for days.
