Radiation is dangerous without good protection. While anomalies are dangerous, they are localized in one area and you have ample warning for radiation, you only get a dread sense of an unknown source of heat as your vision starts to brighten, pale, and your geiger counter starts ticking faster than an 80 year old man taking a roller coaster ride. You have a universal anomaly detector and a universal geiger counter.

When going on a long trip or simply exploring, take along a food tin or sausage in case you don't find any at your destination. Sausage and tins are the most filling while bread is the least filling (but the lightest to carry). The three types of food are - bread, sausage, and preserved tin (canned) food. The more filling the food, the longer you can go without food (up to roughly 12 game hours). Food can be traded or looted, and never spoils. If food is not ingested in time, the character will proceed to more ravenous hunger and lose more life over time. A fork and dish icon will appear in the lower right of your main HUD. Over the course of the day, the character will become hungry and require an intake of food. Bandages are sold from Zone traders and should be the first item you loot from a corpse or stash. Unless bandages (with quick-coagulant) is applied, you will die instantly from a hemmorage (unlike Homer Simpson). Light bleeding may stop over time, but that only occurs during the easiest of difficulties and only from the lightest wounds.Д«leeding can lead to hemmoraging, which is denoted by the red or deep red bleeding icon.

The only two things stop bleeding (normally) - bandages and blue (army) medikits. If you are injured, you will notice that there is a 'bleeding' marker on your lower right hand HUD.Д«leeding means your character slowly loses health over time as you lose vital hemoglobin. Chances are you might've shot someone by accident while playing around with the keyboard controls (optimizing them).
