A hot spring is a spring produced by the emergence of geothermically treated groundwater from the Earth's crust. Hot springs are in many places around the world, and come in many differing types. Sam can bathe in hot springs for various effects, which depend on the type of hot spring he is in.
Types[]
- Healing spring - Will regenerate your health, as well as your stamina, the longer you rest.
- Digestive bath - This spring will aid your digestion, and promotes more bowel movements that can increase the rate at which you can get EX Grenades from using a Private Room's facilities.
- Recharging spring – These springs produce an electrical charge that can be taken advantage of to recharge all battery-powered equipment and replenish Sam's stamina.
- Unspecified spring – Shown near the end of the TGS 2019 tour of Sam's private room, after he leaves his safe house. These springs are good for Sam's stomach.
