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 and sleeping on floor mattresses can also cause disease. Eating uncooked meat and drinking dirty water has the highest risks for disease. Diseases can be avoided by cooking food, eating pre-War packaged food and drinking boiled or purified water. Sleeping on raised mattresses and avoiding physical contact with diseased creatures will also avoid disease.

Diseases cause a variety of effects including increased damage and needs. Diseases are self-limiting and will expire. They can be cured with disease cures or antibiotics.

Maintaining a character's food and water needs increases resistance of disease by 25%, even more with the perk Rejuvenated. 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, while the perk Vaccinated protects against diseased creatures.
