Fallout 4 Survival Mode: 10 Tips & Tricks You Can't Live Without
7. Cannibalism Satisfies Hunger, With BAD Side Effects
The out-of-the-box thinkers among you have probably considered the Cannibalism perk as a logical workaround to any food-related woes that survival mode brings. And Bethesda have thought about that too, as feasting on human flesh does indeed satisfy your hunger.
But wait! Dont start gnawing on raider limbs just yet, because too much human flesh will afflict you with Dark Craving, and it'll become the only meat that will satiate your hunger. The craving affects you much quicker than normal hunger, so if youre in an area with no people in the vicinity, youre as good as dead.
Seeing as survival mode is still in beta, this gameplay feature may still be a bit broken, as currently the way to cure yourself of Dark Craving is not to eat human flesh for 24 hours, by which time youd have starved to death anyway.
Talk about rock and a hard place, eh? Youll get no sympathy here though, you filthy little cannibal...
