The Radiation status effect in Starfield is an environmental status you can pick up from being in radiated zones. Often, you can pick up Radiation from being on planets with high radiation levels. One such planet is one we know well: Earth. There are loads of other planets that can be highly radiated as well, so beware of them. 

The Radiation status effect changes your ability to carry your maximum weight capacity. Due to swelling, every item you have equipped has increased carry weight. With an effect like that, Radiation isn’t something you want to keep for more time than you absolutely must. Getting rid of the Radiation status effect as soon as you get it can definitely increase the quality of your Starfield gameplay.

Eliminating Radiation is as simple as using an Injector. Injectors administer medication that treats afflictions, including Brain Injury, Concussion, Heatstroke, Hernia, Hypothermia, Lung Damage, Poisoning, and Radiation. 

Each Injector has a Mass of 0.10 and a Value of 55. Injectors can be purchased from a Medical Bench, but it’s essential to know that if you’re low on currency, Injectors can also be crafted. Once you’ve crafted or purchased an Injector, you can head into your inventory and use the item to get rid of the Radiation status effect in Starfield.

Jordan is an experienced fantasy writer who spends hours behind her laptop, and lost in the pages of a book. She strives to be a successful gaming blogger, and has no complaint about the hours of game time she used to increase her knowledge of all things “geek”. She primarily writes gaming articles and fantasy novels. Ark: Survival Evolved is a favorite, along with Diablo 3, Warframe and Minecraft lately, though you can’t forget the good old Magic the Gathering card game! Writing about games truly gives her joy as it gives her another perspective to look at games from, a reason to really look into the mechanics of the game.
