Where to find medicines (places)

Players can find pill containers in caves, on planes, in random boxes, crates, enemy camps, on the beach, and anywhere else. It will take a long time (and depends on luck), and if you don’t have medicine with you when you need it badly, you will die. So it’s better to craft the medicine and always keep it with you.

Can you store medicines?

Luckily you can! These herbs can be hard to come by during the off-season (winter, for example), so when your play season is in the spring, summer, and even fall, stock up on them, mix and match, and craft them, then store them in cabinets, small or large.

How to use Virginia for healing?

What you can do is befriend and get Virginia, your companion, and give her a weapon. She can destroy enemies who can do all the dirty work for you while you are looking for medicines and other important items.

What happens when you take medication?

When you take medicine in the game, your health is fully restored. This will be especially useful if you have been attacked by an enemy and need to quickly remedy the situation. If you are in a safe zone, it is best to regenerate health by eating food.

How to make sure your health remains complete?

• Wear armor, it will protect you from damage.
• Continue to satisfy your thirst and hunger – drink water, eat snacks and enjoy animal meat.
• Rest on a bench to restore energy.
• Create a shelter and sleep to restore energy.
• Craft weapons to protect yourself from hostile animals and enemies/mutants.
• Keep a good supply of medicines in your inventory.
