In-game Description

}}

”

Rheumatic Joints is a permanent Affliction unique to Misery which occurs from Stages 2-4 of Misery. It reduces the survivor's speed while sprinting, the length of time available to aim the Survival Bow, and decreases the time required for a Sprained Wrist or Sprained Ankle to occur when on uneven terrain. It also causes minor Condition damage when incurring a Sprained Ankle or Sprained Wrist, making Mountain Goating and slopes a danger to the player once Broken Body sets in.

Effects

-50% Sprint speed bonus
-50% Aiming meter (50% less time to Aim weapons)
-50% Sprain Meter (Sprains occur 50% faster)
2% Condition damage upon receiving a Sprained Wrist or Sprained Ankle (Do note that the damage is doubled, i.e. 4%, when you also have Broken Body.)
