It can take place in so-called hot spots, places of concentration of radioactive trash and old buildings, can be a side effect of some artifacts. If the player got radiation poisoning, the character's health is gradually deteriorating, until death, and on the screen appears the corresponding icon. To remove the radiation in the game STALKER in several ways.

The use of chemicals


The most effective method to reduce and eliminate radiation exposure is medical anti-radiation drug. The drug is under strong irradiation reduces the radiation exposure to best. In the third part of the game, "Call of Pripyat", the action of the drug is not immediate: antirad works for fifteen seconds.

Another drug that protects against the harmful effects and accumulation of radiation, radioprotector is "Enderlin-Б190". This drug is intended for use by members of the paramilitary structures provide protection from exposure to gamma radiation. Make radioprotectant need some time before reaching the zone of intense ionizing radiation, as the drug is not used to counter the effects of infection.

Alcohol

Vodka has the side effect of intoxication, from-for what the main character could be seriously disoriented in space, which is critical in terms of warfare.

Artifacts that absorb radiation


Not all artifacts emit radiation. Some of them have a neutral background radiation, there are those which efficiently absorb the radiation. In different game versions the same artifacts have different properties. So, in "Shadow of Chernobyl" artifacts that absorb radiation, are all causing anomalies "Roasting" and "Rusty hair", but each artifact has its side effects. Games "Call of Pripyat" and "clear Sky" radiation protection can provide artifacts "Medusa", "Twist" and "Bubble", where they do not have a negative impact on the player.
