Radiation will steadily reduce your health, especially if there is an Anomaly or a Condition that increases its levels. Here's how to deal with radiation damage in Pacific Drive without having to use a First Aid Kit all the time.
How to avoid radiation damage in Pacific Drive
Just like with electrical damage, there are both Anomalies as well as Junction Conditions that will damage your car with radiation. If you are out of the car, it will be steadily reducing your health as well. Check out how to avoid radiation damage in Pacific Drive below.
You want your car to always be in drivable condition to avoid dying and losing all of your things and your progress. It's essential to upgrade it with the best protection and not just rush in. Take it from someone who has lost so many tools and materials because I didn't take the time to build up the car's damage resistance.
On the Fabricator, under the Car Body tab, you will find three upgrades that will increase radiation resistance. You can get these blueprints once you've unlocked the Steel Panel, Door, and Bumper. Once you have them unlocked, you can head over to the Basic Workbench to craft them.
| Upgrade Name | Pre-requisite | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lead-Plated Panel | - Basic Workbench - Scan Lead Shielding - Research Steel Sheet | - Health 60 - Radiation Resist 30% |
| Lead-Plated Door | - Basic Workbench - Scan Lead Shielding - Research Steel Sheet | - Health 60 - Radiation Resist 20% |
| Lead-Plated Bumper | - Basic Workbench - Scan Lead Shielding - Research Steel Sheet | - Health 60 - Radiation Resist 35% |
The car is your best protection, but once you are outside, sometimes there's no avoiding radiation. For example, when you are bringing Energy Anchors to the ARC Device, you'll definitely be taking damage. To protect yourself, you can use the Outfitting Station. This is a Garage upgrade that you can unlock at the Fabricator. Once you have it set up, you can make three outfits for radiation protection.
| Outfit Name | Crafting Materials | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lead Apron | - Fabric x20 - Lead Platelet x15 | Radiation Resist 20% |
| Lead-Lined Labcoat | - Fabric x35 - Lead Platelet x25 | Radiation Resist 40% |
| Radiation Suit | - Fabric x45 - Lead Platelet x30 - Olympium Fragment x30 | Radiation Resist 40% Blocks Radiation under 2.5k |
