You\u2019re trying to scale down a cliff and you\u2019re thinking to yourself \u201cI can jump that\u201d just to find out no, you can\u2019t. Now you\u2019re stuck at the bottom of a cliff with a fractured limb: Welcome to Starfield. Injuries and afflictions are just a part of the Starfield experience, but you\u2019ll need to know how they work and what you can do to fix them if you plan on surviving in this world. Fortunately, once you get the hang of it, the system isn\u2019t all that complicated. I know when I started playing Starfield, injuries were something that had me stumped so to make sure this isn\u2019t the case for you, here\u2019s the breakdown. How does the prognosis system work in Starfield? If you\u2019ve sustained an injury in Starfield then you\u2019ll be given a prognosis. This mechanic allows you to gauge how bad the problem is, allowing you to decide whether or not you need to seek help immediately, or simply wait it out. You can see your prognosis by opening up the Starfield menu. Your prognosis will fall somewhere between Excellent and Poor. Fortunately, anything other than Poor will likely heal on its own, but it can take a while. You\u2019ll see a notification on your screen that says \u201cimproved prognosis\u201d or \u201cprognosis worsened,\u201d depending on whether the injury is improving or getting worse. Related How to change your character\u2019s appearance in Starfield If you have got a Poor prognosis then the chance of it healing itself is low, and you\u2019ll probably need to treat the affliction to get back to health. If this is what\u2019s happened to your character then don\u2019t panic! There are plenty of options that will have you back out in the stars in no time. How to treat afflictions in Starfield Each affliction falls under a different category and healing it requires a different tool or item. To make things easier to track, each type of affliction corresponds with a colored triangle symbol for its category. Using the information below you can see what tool is required to fix your problem, along with a list of the specific afflictions that fall into each category. Blue Here\u2019s a list of all of the status effects curable with an Immobilizer: Torn Muscle Dislocated Limb Fractured Skull Fractured Limb Red Here are all of the things that you\u2019ll need to use Bandages or Zupper Bandages to cure: Contusion Laceration Puncture Wound Orange For climate-related damage, you\u2019ll want Heal Paste. Here\u2019s everything Heal Paste can help out with: Burn Frostbite Yellow Snake Oil and the Injector items can help out with some severe status effects and injuries including the following: Brain Injury Heatstroke Concussion Hernia Hypothermia Lung Damage Poisoned Radiation Poisoning Purple Finally, Antibiotics might be required for one specific status effect. Infection Now you know what you\u2019ll need, simply head into your Aid inventory and seek out the right tool to remedy the issue. If you don\u2019t have any of these items they can be purchased from some vendors and doctors across the galaxy. If you want to get things healed quickly, simply visit a doctor and they can fix your problems for a fee. While it may cost more, this will get you back in action the fastest.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Starfield-character-standing-in-an-open-ice-field.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951634"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1837"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=951634"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":951644,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951634\/revisions\/951644"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/951637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=951634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=951634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=951634"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=951634"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=951634"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=951634"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=951634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
