'''Water Purification Tablets''' are a consumable to convert [[Water (Unsafe)|Unsafe Water]] into [[Water (Potable)|Potable Water]] in [[The Long Dark]].<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
Water Purification Tablets are a consumable item which can be used to convert up to 1 litre of Unsafe Water into 1 litre of Potable Water per tablet. Boxes always initially contain 4 tablets. Purifying water takes one in-game minute.<br />
<br />
* Since Unsafe Water is almost exclusively produced at a fire, Water Purification Tablets are of niche usefulness and are comparable to the fuel required to boil 1L of water and make it Potable.<br />
**Using the tablets instead of boiling the water will save between 19-29 in-game minutes per liter of water, depending on the player's [[Cooking]] level.<br />
* They are relatively rare, consumable, cannot be crafted or harvested.<br />
* Water Purification Tablets degrade in condition over time indoors and outside, and will vanish if inside of a Container when becoming Ruined (0% condition). Ruined tablets outside of containers can still be used, and tablets of the same condition stack. In console edition, ruined (0% condition) tablets are useless. Condition does not affect conversion rate. <br />
<br />
* Note: it is more time effective to use these directly from your inventory rather than at a fire - it will take approximately one in-game minute per tablet compared to ten.<br />
* These tablets can be useful when time is of the essence, such as in the [[Whiteout]] and especially [[Hopeless Rescue]] [[Challenge|challenges]] to complete said challenge in the best possible time, but are less useful in Survival and [[Wintermute]] due to the abundance and accessibility of fuel.<br />
