Survival mode
In Survival mode, dirty water can reduce the Sole Survivor's thirst, though at the cost of increasing radiation and increasing the risk of contracting disease. Cartons of dirty water can be created by using the "Fill Bottle" option if one is next to a water source (river, sea, lake, pond, puddle of stagnant water, or contaminated water fountain) and if the player character has one or more empty bottles in their inventory. The player character can also drink directly from the water source. The healing from such sources is reduced to one tenth of non-Survival healing, i.e. 1.5 HP, and only applies if the character is not suffering from any current thirst status effects.
