- 02 · Bone Fracture (Mobility & Aim Debuff): Caused by high falls, shotgun blasts, or bear charges. Imposes -40% move speed and +60% weapon sway. Treatment: Apply a Wooden Splint (crafted from 2x Wood and 1x Clean Cloth).
- 03 · Radiation Poisoning (mSv Accumulation): Caused by entering yellow/red anomaly fields or unsealed bunkers. Drains maximum stamina and causes vision blur. Treatment: Consume Charcoal Tablets (minor) or inject Rad-Away (150 mSv purge).

Questions players ask
Why does my health keep dropping even after using a medkit?
You have an untreated active Bleeding effect. Medkits will not restore health until you apply a Sterile Bandage or Hemostatic Gauze to close the wound.
How do I fix a broken leg in Scavland?
Use a Wooden Splint. Splints can be crafted at any workbench from 2x Scrap Wood and 1x Clean Cloth or bought from Physician Anna.
What happens if my radiation meter enters the red zone?
Your maximum HP will permanently decrease, character movement will slow down, and your operative will vomit, losing hydration rapidly.
Can I sleep off radiation sickness in Scavland?
No! Sleeping with high radiation will cause your character to take continuous damage and potentially die in their sleep. Purge radiation first.
How do I prevent weapon sway from fractures during combat?
Apply a splint immediately, or take Painkillers which temporarily suppress fracture sway penalties for 90 seconds.
