Infection Stages

The infection has 3 stages.

  • Slight Infection. Stamina natural recovery -20%.
  • Serious Infection. Stamina natural recovery -30%, HP natural recovery -30%.
  • Fatal Infection. Stamina natural recovery -60%, HP natural recovery -60%, Max HP -40%.

How to Cure Infection

To cure the infection, you must use an Infection Cure Shot. When you use this item, it reduces the level of Fatal and Serious Infections by 1 or completely cures Slight Infection.

Infection Cure Shot usage

An Infection Cure Shot can be bought from community Merchants or randomly found in crates in houses. For example, you can buy it from the Light Burns NPC in the First Responders community (the first one you unlock in the game).

Usually, community merchants only have 1 Infection Cure Shot for sale, but their products reset every midnight by in-game time, and you can see the current time right in the trading interface. Also, you can manually reset products for 1000 Milla coins.

In addition, you can randomly obtain Infection Cure Shots by looting furniture and crates in Unsafe Areas (houses with a white skull icon).
