Fallout 76 diseases

Diseases are a type of condition in Fallout 76.

When the player character consumes unclean food and liquid, there is a chance of acquiring a disease. Being attacked by diseased creatures also has a chance of disease. Eating uncooked meat and drinking dirty water have the highest risk of disease. Diseases can be avoided by cooking food, eating pre-War packaged food and drinking boiled or purified water.

Diseases cause a variety of effects including increased damage and needs. A disease cure can be consumed to cure one disease.

Maintaining a character's food and water needs increases resistance of disease by 25%. Taking RadAway also temporarily increases disease resistance. The perks Iron Stomach and Thirst Quencher greatly reduce the chance of disease from consumed food and liquid, respectively. The perk Vaccinated protects against disease from creatures.
