What it does
Ceftriaxone is the injectable antibiotic in the demo. Each millilitre grants 11.25 seconds of immunity time, during which immunity is increased by 70. A full syringe therefore provides 1,125 seconds — 18 minutes 45 seconds — of elevated immunity.
The catch is pain. Every millilitre adds 0.8 limb pain with no adrenaline response, so injecting the entire syringe can put total pain at 80%. The community generally prefers Antibiotics or Antiserum, which have better effects and fewer downsides. Consider selling Ceftriaxone to a survivor instead.
Effects and usage
- 100 mL total; each millilitre adds 11.25 seconds of immunity time.
- Immunity is increased by 70 while the immunity timer is active.
- Adds 0.8 limb pain per mL with no adrenaline compensation.
- Does not stack immunity value with other antibiotics, only duration.
How to get it
Medical crates, life-pods and survivor stock. Not craftable in the demo.
This item is found as loot or bought from survivors; it has no crafting recipe in the current demo build. Its value scales with condition, charge or fluid volume, so sell it only after checking the trade value.
Field notes
- Inject in small amounts instead of emptying the syringe.
- Do not combine with heavy pain or low consciousness unless you have no alternative.
- Antibiotics and Antiserum are usually better value. Sell Ceftriaxone when possible.
- Immunity slows infection progression; it does not instantly cure an infected limb.
