What it does
The Rose Light comes from a Rose Pod found in the Dried Desert. Opening the pod gives a bright light source that illuminates in all directions, which is far more useful than a narrow beam when you are navigating a wide cavern. It lasts only five minutes, so use it for a specific obstacle or fight.
Its medical use is unique: dragging the Rose Light onto a limb reveals that limb’s infection value in the health panel, even below the normal visibility threshold. In Unchipped runs it shows an infection icon instead. Early detection can save a run by catching an infection before sepsis.
Effects and usage
- Bright omnidirectional light for five minutes.
- Apply to a limb to reveal its exact infection value.
- Works below the normal infection display threshold; in Unchipped it shows an icon.
- Obtained by opening a Rose Pod, not by crafting.
How to get it
Rose Pods in the Dried Desert and Wasteland.
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
- Use it to inspect a limb after a deep bite or a dirty wound.
- Do not carry it as your only light; five minutes is short.
- Check every limb after a fight in the Wasteland.
- The reveal is diagnostic only. Bring antibiotics or disinfectant to treat what you find.
