Your character is suffering from a significant amount of radiation poisoning. The more radiation, the deadlier the effect.
Contents |
Causes
Both players and the NPCs they control can get irradiated in three ways:
- by visiting the wrong place, such as the Glow,
- by being hit by some creatures, e.g. Aliens,
- by consuming some foods, e.g. fruit.
Symptoms and effects
- As soon as the smallest dose of radiation is received, a message will pop up in the message box
- Continuous exposition to a source of radiation will cause the 'Radiated' effect indicator to appear and persist in the upper-left corner of the screen
- Significant irradiation can adversely affect one's SPECIAL
- If one's irradiation level reaches 1800 rads, the character dies
- Respawning does not reset the irradiation level of the one who died; it only lowers the absorbed dose to just below its lethal value provided the death occurred due to irradiation
Prevention and treatment
- A Geiger counter can be used to monitor one's current irradiation level
- Radiation resistance lowers the percentage of background radiation that affects the player. It can be temporarily boosted by using Rad-X
- A player can permanently elevate his/her radiation resistance by obtaining the Rad Resistance perk.
- Radiation poisoning can be self-treated with the drug RadAway. Alternatively, one may choose to receive treatment from one of the NPC doctors at a cost equal to 50 caps multiplied by the level of the player undergoing the treatment
