All Status Effects in Starfield & How to Check Which Ones You Have
There are so many status effects you can get afflicted with in Starfield it’s not even funny. The worst part is that most of them basically do the same thing: drain your health slowly, and there are so many different types of healing items you can use to treat them. Here’s a breakdown ofall status effects in Starfield and how you can check which ones you’ve got.
All Status Effects and Afflictions in Starfield
As mentioned above,Starfieldfeatures a whole ton of status effects and various Afflictions you can get as you’re out exploring the open-world. It’s much easier to categorize them by healing item, so we’ve included a table down below for your perusal:
Physical Afflictions such as fractures and dislocations get inflicted onto you whenever you take severe physical damage, such as falling from a great height. Other Afflictions are usually environment-related, such as getting exposed to poisonous gases or extreme cold. It’s also possible to get lung damage by sprinting and letting yourO2run out, while also letting your CO2 build up.
Whenever you get these Afflictions, you’ll start to suffer from various symptoms, which usually just cause your health to drain over time, or reduce your O2 recharge rate, or cause you to take more damage than usual.
How to Check Which Afflictions You Have
Whenever you notice that you’re suffering from symptoms in Starfield, you’ll usually see an indicator in the bottom left corner of your HUD. Bring up the menu, then press the Y button. Select Status, and you’ll see all of the status effects you currently have.
In addition to seeing all of the Afflictions, you’ll also see the prognosis, which tells you just how severe an Affliction is. For instance, if the prognosis for one of your Afflictions is Poor, that means you should treat it straightaway as it’s unlikely to go away on its own.
On the other hand, if the prognosis is Good, then chances are you’re able to leave it and it should go away over time without any treatment. You should also be able to get rid of less severe Afflictions simply by resting in a bed.
How to Cure Afflictions
Now that you know how to check your Afflictions and status effects, it’s time to cure them. All you have to do is access your inventory and scroll to the Aid option, then press the A button to consume whichever healing item will treat your current Afflictions, and you’re good to go.
And those are all of thestatus effects and Afflictions in Starfield, how to check them, and how to treat them. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more tips and information on the game.
