Where to Find Medicines (Locations)

Players can find containers of pills in caves, on planes, in random chests, crates, enemy camps, on the beach, and everywhere else. This will be time consuming (and down to luck) and if you don't have medicine with you when you need it badly, you will die. So it's best to make medicine and have it with you at all times.

Can you store medicine?

Luckily you can! These herbs can be hard to find in the off-season (like winter), so if your play season is spring, summer, and even fall, stock, mix and match, and craft them, then store them big in small or small closets .

How to use Virginia for healing?

What you can do is befriend Virginia, your companion, and give her the gun. She can take out enemies who will do the dirty work for you while you scavenge for medicine and other essential items.

What happens when you take medication?

If you take medication in the game, your health will be fully restored. This is especially useful when you've been attacked by an enemy and need a quick fix. If you're in a safe area, your best bet is to restore health through eating.

How do you ensure your health stays full?

• Wear armor that protects you from damage.
• Keep quenching your thirst and hunger — drink water, eat snacks, and make the most of animal flesh.
• Rest on a bench to recharge your batteries.
• Create shelter and sleep to recharge your batteries.
• Craft weapons to protect yourself from hostile animals and enemies/mutants.
• Keep a good supply of medicines in your inventory.
