Breathless

Breathless is a passive Perk which causes you to no longer suffocate or drown. It also grants a movement and agility boost while submerged in liquids, making swimming to great depths and across great distances (such as in the Lake) much more manageable.
Immunities
You are immune to suffocation or drowning damage whilst submerged or buried inside:
- Liquids such as Water or Slime
- Unbreathable gases such as Flammable Gas
- Powder piles such as Snow and Coal
- Static ground or walls such as Rock, Brickwork, or Extremely Dense Rock
This perk does not protect against damage from:
- Materials that inflict contact damage such as Lava, Acid, or Poison
- Status effects that materials inflict such as the stains from Toxic Sludge, Ominous Liquid, or Poison
Movement
This perk's movement speed buff affects both active movement with the movement keys or joystick, as well as the rate you sink while submerged in liquids. Stacking a few instances of this perk will vastly increase your movement speed inside bodies of liquid, which can quickly exceed your typical movement speed on land or in the air.
Notes and Interactions
- Freeze Field will prevent swimming in any liquid that can be frozen, which severely reduces the utility of this perk in terms of movement. However, its suffocation immunity is extremely helpful to avoid taking damage if liquids freeze around you, ensuring you have time to free yourself without needing to worry about suffocating.
