How to Cure Infections in 7 Days to Die 1.0

 

     Surviving the zombie apocalypse in 7 Days to Die 1.0 is no small feat, and infections are just one of the many hurdles you’ll face. Getting infected isn’t the end of the world if you know how to treat it swiftly and effectively.

 

 

Effective Treatments for Infection

 

     When it comes to treatment, you’ve got a few options depending on the severity of the infection:

 

     - Jar of Honey: This is your go-to for early-stage infections. It cures 5% of the infection and is relatively easy to find by looting tree stumps or purchasing from traders. It’s the most abundant and cost-effective option if you’re early in the game or low on resources.

 

      

     - Herbal Antibiotics: These are handy for treating infections at a higher rate. Herbal Antibiotics reduce infection by 10% per dose. They can be crafted if you’ve read a good number of Medical Journal magazines and have access to the right ingredients like blueberries, mushrooms, and nitrate powder. You can also find them in loot or from traders.

 

    

     - Antibiotics: The strongest remedy, antibiotics, will cure 25% of the infection per dose. They’re harder to come by and require a higher skill level to craft. Antibiotics are found in medical loot, purchased from traders, or crafted at a chemistry station with ingredients like old sham sandwiches and nitrate powder.

 

    

 

Prevention and Additional Tips

 

     Preventing infection is just as crucial as treating it. Here are some tips to keep you in top shape:

 

     - Avoid Getting Hit: The best way to avoid infection is not to get hit at all. Use ranged weapons and avoid melee combat indoors where you might get overwhelmed.

 

      

     - Vitamins: Take vitamins to prevent new infections and boost your overall resistance, but remember, they won’t cure an existing infection. They’re great for avoiding future issues, though!

 

    

     - Brawler Perk: Investing in the Brawler perk can help you punch enemies and prevent them from infecting you or your teammates with melee attacks. Just keep in mind that ranged attacks still carry a risk of infection. Press ‘N’ to open Skills tab and increase your Brawler Abilities.

 

    

     - Use painkillers to avoid being stunned, which reduces your chances of receiving a critical hit that might lead to an infection.

 

     Keeping a close eye on your infection status and taking swift action can mean the difference between life and death in 7 Days to Die 1.0. With the right mix of honey, herbal antibiotics, and antibiotics, you can fend off the worst effects of infections and keep surviving in this game.
