Radiation

“	Radiation - Ionizing radiation that still lingers all over the world. At high doses, might induce negative effects and death.	”
— In-game description

Radiation (Russian: радиация; Ukrainian: радіація) is a condition in ATOM RPG.

Description

It means that radionuclides have entered your body. The amount of exposure depends on the radiation resistance.

Radiation almost always leads to death. Depending on its level, the character's various characteristics worsen, and unlike poisoning, radiation is not removed from the body on its own, requiring the use of Pro-radiation drugs.

Avoid visiting radioactive sites that can be detected using a Geiger counter. If you are forced to move through a radioactive spot, take RAD-0 to increase the radiation resistance.

Increase

Radiation increases from environment and from food & drinks. Cooking food with fire will remove radiation from most foods.

Exposure impact
