The all-terrain skeleton is an active skeleton, a type of equipment that aids Sam during his expedition by enhancing his mobility across rugged landscapes, allowing him to move more easily without expending stamina.
Overview[]
This skeleton is a versatile piece of equipment designed to aid traversal across rough, uneven surfaces. It strikes a strong balance between speed, load support, and stability, making it especially valuable in snowy environments where footing is treacherous. It provides a moderate sprint boost, reduces stamina loss on rugged ground, and helps maintain balance during difficult crossings. Like all skeletons, it draws power from Sam’s battery, with boosted movement consuming energy at a faster rate. Its design and upgrades are provided by the Roboticist.
Description[]
An "Active Skeleton" that improves the wearer's ability to move and stay upright on uneven surfaces. You will be less liable to slip or lose speed on rough terrain while the skeleton is equipped and battery power is available. The Endurance Gauge will also drain at half speed when you are in rivers or on steep slopes.
Be aware that boosting will drain battery at an accelerated rate. Keep an eye on your battery levels.
The battery will gradually recharge in sunny or cloudy weather.
Cargo can still be attached to the hips while using an All-Terrain Skeleton.
