Mole rat disease is a non-fatal but incurable disease in Fallout 4. You can catch this infection while completing the quest “Zakutok” of Vault 81. It is impossible to get rid of the disease by “legal means”. Therefore, it is important to know how not to pick up the infection or deal with the consequences of the disease.
Quest start
The Zakutok mission, during which you can contract a mole rat disease in Fallout 4, will become available after donating blood to Dr. Forsyth and completing the quest from Erin. Then, the next time he enters the medical compartment of the Vault, the hero finds out about the infected Austin Angill. The boy was bitten by a mole rat, and now the child is dying from infection. To save him, you will need to find an antidote.
The passage of the task
Go to the secret entrance and go to the laboratory part of the shelter. From the room covered with earth, climb the stairs. At the top you will find a gap in the wall through which you can get into the room with the terminal. Inside, there is nothing particularly interesting, except that here you can find out information about the location. Be careful, there are two turrets behind the next bend and an aggressive protector is wandering around.
Having dealt with the opponents, go down the stairs to the dining room. There is also a turret and a still turned off protector-observer. The robot can be reprogrammed and made an ally in the fight against rodents. But do not do this, because then the chance of contracting a mole rat disease in Fallout 4 increases significantly.
At the end of the corridor on the left you will find a staircase. There are 6 rodents running around, so shoot them from a distance. Continue down the corridors until you reach the door with the terminal. Be careful, on the way you are attacked by 15-16 rodents. You can open the terminal yourself with the pumped-up Hacking skill. If the skill level is insufficient, then go to the far right room. In this room is a voice recording with a password from the terminal.
After unlocking the door, speak with Curie. After the conversation, the robot itself will open the partition and give you serum. Take the medicine and take the elevator to the Vault. Give the serum to the doctor and watch the boy recover from the disease. As a reward you will receive a weapon “Short Injection Carabiner”, and Curie will become your partner.
If, in the process of completing the task, you picked up an infection, then you can keep the serum for yourself. Otherwise, you will suffer from the disease and constantly lose health. Then the boy will die of infection, which will badly affect your karma. Moreover, with such an outcome, Curie will not become your companion. In any case, the choice is yours.
How to Avoid contracting Molecular Disease in Fallout 4
To complete the task and not get sick is rather difficult, but possible. For this, it is important to observe several conditions. First of all, take a quick-fire weapon with a good range and damage on a mission. Then you will kill all the rodents without letting them close to you.
Another important condition is not to take a partner to complete the quest. The fact is that contagious mole rat disease in Fallout 4 is also transmitted through a companion. For the same reason, you cannot program a second protectron for your protection. Indeed, in this case, he will be considered your partner. And if rodents bite the robot, then the infection will be transmitted to you.
Having fulfilled these conditions, carefully shoot mole rats and do not forget to save more often. But before that, check the status of the effects applied to you. Then you will pass the task without consequences.
How to cure a mole rat disease in Fallout 4
If, after completing the mission, you still caught an infection, you will either have to let the boy die, or suffer from an infection. In any case, the consequences of the choice will bring only trouble, because the boy’s death will affect your reputation and further relations with Curie. If you save the boy at the cost of your life, then you can never take Strongman as a partner.
