  • Launch Site
  • Military Tunnels
  • Power Plant

Extreme Levels of Radiation

The Launch site main building will always cause a low additional amount of radiation. You should drink a lot of water to drink to remove this. Rad pills are less effective.

The cargo ship will also cause lethal levels of radiation once it leaves the map. After a warning horn you must leave the ship. You may take a diving gear if a RHIB is unavailable.

The Nuclear site will also cause high level of radiation inside one of the steam generators. (Round towers) Rad pills are commended to remove the high levels once you’ve exit the tower.

  1. Radiation at Trainyards is location-sensitive, also a minimum of 25% (not 20%) is required for all areas. Most areas are low (12% +/-), but a few locations are 25% (tall structure with switch, card-accessed loot building)
