Infected through Water Bottle?

[EndEffeKt 87]

Hey Guys,

I just started playing DayZ after months of rest and had this little incident with a friend of mine:

I got infected and then killed by another player. My friend took that player down with his 9mm and took my gear. Later we both met again and he drank a zip from my former water bottle, which I as an infected carried and used. He was instantly infected.

Anyone got information on this? Was it the water that was randomly infected or was it the sharing of a water bottle with an infected survivor? I hope its the second, that would be pretty cool :)

Yes you can get infected from drinking pond water,you have to boil it to prevent that happening.

Thanks for the quick answer. In the same topic I want to suggest to add the "Infected through eating/drinking stuff an infected player carried" mechanic. But beforehand try to balance that infection a bit :)

In SA looked like you would still have to disinfect water, though it looked like there was purification tablets (which you just drop into a canteen and swish about a bit). So we will have to disinfect water in SA too, hopefully we'll be able to boil it like we can now as well and not just find some purification tablets. Purification tablets will just be the 'quick and easy' method.

You drank dirty water where bandits go pee pee, you get sick.
