Apparently you can rest at tents and will have a 1/16 chance to cure your infection.

http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Status_Effects#Infection (unconfirmed)

They have kinda hinted at another solution, so this could be the one:



Hope it works, haven't tested it out myself.

nice find dude. gotta try this after i grab my tent from elektro lol

i believe they are lowering it to a 1% chance in the hotfix patch (if im reading it properly)... take a look at the rolling changelog on the official forums

Link to the thread?

whaaat? chance of infection possibility still the same but they are lowering your chance to heal by resting near your tent to 1%




lol

interesting...



They should/need to implement a "rested" indicator if this is going to play a role in your survival...maybe something we can add to the debug menu if it even exists. i wonder what measures your "rested" state..

1% Chance to cure infection....why on earth would I waste my time hoping for a 1% chance?

It's 1/16 right now I'm guessing the new patch has 1% because the infection rate is lower...

i didnt see them mention lowering the infection rate

More hotfix roll out info. When will they release it tho.....
