Anxious

[Charby]

Hey!

I got a laceration and got the anxious moodle. Does it mean that i'm infected or could I be anxious for another reason?

I didn't take the smoker trait.

Looks like you only have hours left XD.
Immediately store your valuables in a safe place, take them with you later, and don't forget to take a shovel to bury yourself later.

the only other reason i can think of, is if you have the Fear of Blood trait, your character gets anxious when they have any blood on them. but it sounds like it's time to drink some bleach friend

the game does have a fake infected after a scratch or laceration. It usually only gets the anxious moodle and not the nauseous and sick ones.

Play it safe, store your valuables in a secure location, stay indoors for a few days and ride out the storm

i personally wouldnt worry until you start getting nauseous

This, yeah. If your character hears zombies banging on things nearby, that can also make them anxious.

Just my opinion, but do you know where you are?
You're in the jungle baby... You're gonna diiiiieeee!!

Reminds me of a trait we used to have called Hypochondriac. It would give you symptoms of being infected without being infected. It was free points. They removed it awhile ago. I used it in all of my character builds in Build 40.

Like the others said, if you start getting sick, that's the smoke and gun, but without the smokes since it seems you don't have cigarettes.

Symptoms come pretty fast, you'll know within a few in-game days because your characters' symptom will get worse, and worse.

If you didn't take any traits that can cause panic, then it's likely you got infected. Being sick though, it's almost guaranteed that you got infected.

now this actually adds a really interesting level of gameplay. basically removes your ability to tell if youre infected or not before you actually kick the bucket. i feel like i wouldnt take it just because it makes planning a lot harder. like if i know im infected i can sit around in a closet and drink bleach and come back and start over or have another player kill me. but if i dont know whether or not im actually infected i basically just have to pray and eventually go find my body in the horde. kind of interesting

idk my characters are always getting anxious for no reason (relatable) regardless of traits. i feel like anxious kind of doesnt mean anything at this point. its like getting bored. like oh you happened to walk through a building for a few seconds or whatever. it gets triggered pretty easily.

Thanks for the cue! Been a while since I played and the anxious moodle was only there if you turn. I'm gonna wait to see if I turn or not.

I restart the world everytime I die so... I wanted to be sure before starting a new one!

If there's a ♥♥♥♥ ton of zombies present near your location (maybe even in the same building you're in), you can also get anxiety moodle very soon
