Cure

From Dawn of the Dead Wiki

How to craft the cure.

πŸ’‰ Zombie Virus Vaccine

The server uses the Zombie Virus Vaccine mod, which allows players to craft cures after completing a process of gathering literature, building equipment, performing autopsies and researching samples.

How it works

1. πŸ“– Find the books

Laboratory Equipment, Virology Courses 1 and 2, and the Chemistry Course.

Laboratory Equipment is more common and can be found in various locations containing books and magazines.

Chemistry: University science labs and libraries, testing labs, hospital magazine racks and lockers, medical offices.

Virology: Military medical storage, university science labs and libraries and testing labs.

2. πŸ”¬ Build your lab

A Lab Workbench first, then a chemistry set, centrifuge, microscope, chromatograph, muffle furnace and a morgue table.

3. 🧟 Perform autopsies

Do autopsies, with a mask, gloves, scalpel and tweezers on a freshly killed zombie (within about 12 in-game hours) to get blood samples. Each body can only be autopsied once.

Use the morgue table to take the brain and other parts (bring a scalpel, saw and a garbage bag).

4. πŸ§ͺ Create samples

Process your samples into plasma, antibodies, brain fluid and more.

5. πŸ’Š Make vaccines

Three tiers (plain, quality, advanced) that slow the infection and give you a small chance of beating it. Albumin pills heal a little and slow it too.

6. πŸ’‰ Craft the cure

It needs First Aid 8, two high quality brain fluid syringes, plasma, antibodies, purified water and bleach. It cures the infection outright.

Good to know
  • Each cure has to be made from scratch, there's no way to copy one.
  • Blood samples don't go off, so you can stockpile them.
  • You can test your blood to find out if you're infected, draw it with a syringe.
  • Purify your water with chlorine tablets, boiling it won't work for the lab. You can find tablets or make them on the chemistry set.
