What are the effects of negative status in STALKER 2
When exploring the Forbidden Zone, there are several status effects you'll want to keep an eye on: Bleeding, Hunger, Burden, Radiation, Psychic Radiation, and Alcohol Poisoning. Some status effects affect you during battles with mutants or hostile NPCs, while others are caused by your own actions or poor planning.
Usually, medicines and items are common methods of treatment, but many items have a double-edged sword effect. They can solve one problem but may bring you closer to another problem.
