PC A17 Radiation Zones

Sorry for the post.

Having trouble using the search function to find existing discussions. Three questions -

1. What is the map indicator for a hazardous radiation zone?

2. Are the Random World Radiation Zones limited to the edge of the map? I've hit them and there appears to be land and buildings farther out.

3. When I am riding a vehicle and run into one of these zones, simply heading back out is not sufficient. I have to get out of the zone and then stop riding the vehicle to avoid death. Is this intentional?

Thanks,

The Spankstinator

 
1. There is none.

2. No. Occasionally a random gen will include zones inside the map. The devs have something planned for this... although in my opinion, they should have just left it out for now because they are unfair and serve no purpose at all.

3. I don't quite understand the situation. Are you saying that if you start taking rad damage on a vehicle it never stops even if you are out of the rad zone? Are you sure? I ask because once you start taking rad damage, even on foot, it takes several seconds for it to stop after leaving the area.

 
A good rule of thumb is to stay about 300 meters from the map border. I would guess it varies depending on map size.

Say you are playing an 8k map at about 3700 meters from 0 , 0 (the center) you are close to the radiation border.

I hope this helps.

 
There is an **extremely** faint red line at the border of the rad zone. You have to zoom and squint to the point of hurting your eyes but it *is* there. It will be at roughly 300 meters from the map edge.

4k maps used to generate a seemingly useful portion of the map after the rad zone begins. I'm not sure if that's still true.

You continue taking radiation damage for a few seconds after you leave the rad zone. What you noticed is a coincidence.

Good rule of thumb, but doesn't help with the rad zones that are generated sometimes in the middle of map.

Not there for rad zones that occasionally generated in the middle of the map.

 
Yea, I've disabled this for now. AFAIK impossible to anticipate and deadly. And I've encountered them in random spots on the map, not only at the borders.

How would I go about disabling the rad zones?
