Just entered Voeld Vault after the patch, armed to the teeth with my backup life support consumable (in previous runs and forgot them and was freezing my @ss off) . To my surprise however, I am no longer freezing! My life support no longer drop in the vault... Just wondering if it is a bug or was the original freezing cold vault a bug lol. Anyway will enjoy my little walk in the warm and pleasant vault now...
OK it's a bug... Half way through the vault the cold suddenly kicked it and for once SAM didnt announce that the temperature is falling, caught me by surprise! Watch out for it if you are in the vault.
Voeld vault is supposed to be a hazard. The puzzles in there are basically built around the fact that you have plan out your "tricks" between shelters (the green shield bubbles). The vault triggering itself is in fact very easy (straightforward run) but the additional stuff (remnant core, rem-tech and additional loot & research) actually takes some thinking and timing in order to not "hazard out".
Yup I know that, in all 4 of my playthroughs it was, until my 5th and it wasnt freezing cold anymore. until I clicked on one of the consoles to get the remnant core, that was when the hazard triggered and I started freezing again.

LOL that's a great bug to have! Too bad mine expired!
Yeah i encountered the non-freezing bug too in the first playthrough. The first room was hazard 2 then after i opened the gate it became normal so i was able to explore the vault without worrying about my life support. Though i didnt know the whole vault supposed to be a hazard 2 area, only realized it in my second playthrough and i was wondering if its always been like this since i didnt remember anything like that.

Same here, I took no environment damage in the Vault on my 1st play through, I didn't even know it was supposed to happen.
I entered on my 2nd play through and I thought I was bugged. After reloading a couple of times and not being able to 'fix' it I just decided to deal with it. It wasn't until I really thought out how the vault is set up that I realized that it was supposed to be that way and it was actually my first run that was bugged.
EA Staff (Retired)Hello everyone!
Personally, I have not encountered any such issues during my playthrough after 1.07 patch. Was playing on PlayStation 4. But thanks for all the reports. Can you also tell us, what platform you were playing Mass Effect: Andromeda on?
Cheers,
