<br />
A '''Sprained Ankle''' can be caused by a fall, being exhausted or encumbered while walking on uneven or steep terrain, or from an [[struggle|animal attack]].<br />
<br />
== Risk ==<br />
{{Quote2|You are Exhausted or Encumbered, and at a higher risk for a Sprain when traversing sloped ground.}}<br />
Carrying too much weight beyond carrying capacity or becoming too tired to carry your heavy load will warn the player that they are at [[Sprain Risk|risk]] of acquiring a sprain. Walking off road onto uneven ground (icon shown in the photo) may have a chance of a [[Sprained Wrist]] or Ankle occurring. Consider either resting or lightening your load in order to eliminate the risk, or consume a [[Go! Energy Drink]] or [[Emergency Stim]].<br />
== Affliction ==<br />
{{Quote2|You have twisted your ankle and are now suffering a sprain. Your mobility will be reduced until you treat it, or it heals over time.|In-game description}}If a player fails to heed a sprain risk or is attacked by hostile wildlife, they can develop a sprain. Acquiring a sprain will always give the [[Pain]] Affliction at the same time. While at least one Sprained Ankle affects the player, sprinting is not possible and the player will walk with a limp, with the screen shaking with each step. 2 Sprained Ankles causes the player to slow down even more and for the screen to shake even further.<br />
*A Sprained Ankle is treated by using a [[Bandage]] or sleeping for 4 cumulative hours. It will not pass on its own.<br />
*The associating Pain Affliction can be treated independently with [[Painkillers]] or [[Rose Hip Tea]]; rest will contribute to resolving all sprains and Pain.<br />
*[[Rope Climbing]] is not possible with either a Sprained Ankle or Wrist.<br />
*It is possible to sprain both ankles at once, either in the same Struggle event or from continuing to traverse sloped surfaces while over encumbered.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Equipping a [[Revolver]] will reduce the frequency of screen shakes.<br />
