STALKER 2 Heart of Chornobyl What to Do if Radiation Keeps Going Up
Remove any equipped artifacts and go to the Medic to stop the Radiation from going up in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Read on to learn what to do if the Radiation keeps going up and how to fix the Radiation bug.

What to Do if Radiation Keeps Going Up

Remove Artifacts from Your Armor Slots

To check if you have the radiation bug, the first step is to remove any artifacts you currently have equipped. If the radiation meter stops going up, it just means you don't have enough radio protection to handle your current artifact setup.

You can raise your radio protection by either upgrading your armor with Lead Containers or equipping Radio Protection Artifacts that are typically found in Acid Anomalies.

However, if the radiation meter still keeps going up despite being in a safe area while having no artifacts equipped, then you probably have the radiation bug.

Go to a Medic to Remove the Radiation Bug

Go a medic at a base to remove the radiation bug for free. This will fix the issue that causes the radiation to go up despite removing the artifact.

What Causes the Radiation Bug?

Picking Up an Artifact with Radiation Damage

The radiation bug is a common occurrence that usually happens after picking up an Artifact that inflicts radiation buildup. Check the Artifact's effect via the inventory screen to see if it has Radiation.

Getting Psi Radiation from Objects and Anomalies
