General information[]

Diseases are temporary status effects that can be contracted by the player. Unlike mutations, they provide no positive effects and only negative ones. Diseases can be either cured by using a Disease Cure or waiting until they expire.

Diseases are contracted by:

  • Sleeping on the ground in bedrolls or on mattresses.
  • Coming into contact with diseased critters.
  • Swimming in contaminated, irradiated waters.
  • Being exposed to toxic air (e.g. in The Mire) without a gas mask on.
