You can get radiated not only by visiting the wrong place, such as the [[Glow]], but also by being hit by some of the wasteland's creatures, such as [[Alien]]s,  or even by eating radiated [[fruit]]. Higher doses of radiation can affect your [[SPECIAL]] skills, and lower important stats such as your [[Strength]] and [[Agility]]. If you receive too much radiation, your character dies.

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
