Items questions players ask
What does L.R.D. do?
Players credit L.R.D. serum with saving runs after major injuries, often alongside procoagulant. Exact numbers are not official. Details →
What does Mindwipe do?
It is treated as a last-resort treatment with serious side effects, used when there is nothing else for a stroke. Details →
How do you combine liquids?
Pour one container into another. Mixed crafting liquids stay usable, and you need a centrifuge to split them again. Details →
What should you craft first?
A canteen, then a foliage bag, then dressings. A flimsy knife and firestarter open up cooking. Details →
How do you remove a battery?
Break a life pod ceiling light and use a tool on it. A Survivor in that pod will dislike you for it. Details →
How does lockpicking work?
A lock-picking kit starts a minigame on locked containers. Failing deals more claw damage since 7.0. Details →
