Diseases — Chernarus PvP

A curated disease list so a firefight is not a random cold. Four threats. This page is PvP only.

Not Sakhal

Sakhal runs the full vanilla set plus flu, cold and wound infection. Use the Sakhal diseases guide on the island. Do not bring Chernarus habits (“I cannot catch a cold”) to Sakhal.

What is active

• 🧠 Brain disease (kuru) — active
• 💧 Cholera — active
• ☣️ Contamination (chemical / toxic zones) — active — Tisy especially
• 🍖 Salmonella — active

Disabled on Chernarus: common cold, influenza, wound infection and heavy-metal poisoning. You will not catch a random cold mid-firefight — eat human meat or drink bad water and you still pay.

Know the four

• 🧠 Kuru — human meat. Hand tremors ruin aim. Do not eat people. (On Sakhal, cooking can remove it — not the Chernarus plan.)
• 💧 Cholera — unsafe water. Purify, drink clean, stay hydrated while it passes.
• 🍖 Salmonella — raw or rotten food, dirty hands. Cook and wash.
• ☣️ Contamination — toxic / chemical zones. Full NBC + gas mask or get out.

Kit

Keep these on you and most illnesses stay manageable: tetracycline / antibiotics, vitamins, disinfectant (alcoholic tincture), water purification tablets, and an NBC set for toxic zones. Traders in the safezone stock the basics. Combat meds: Chernarus medical.

In short

Chernarus keeps four diseases (kuru, cholera, contamination, salmonella). Clean water, cooked food, NBC gear in toxic zones and a small med kit will carry you through.
