SURVIVOR HEALTH · DAYZ
Eye irritation
Eye irritation is driven by EYES_IRRITATION and produces a visual impairment effect.
Effects in DayZ
The modifier is active above zero eye-irritation agents and adjusts the visual symptom according to agent load.
What helps
Reduce further dust exposure and use equipment with eye dust protection. The agent die-off mechanism pauses while unconscious.
Important distinctions
An item can protect the eyes without providing the same protection for breathing. Check both values on its fiche.
