A Sprained Ankle can be caused by a fall, being exhausted or encumbered while walking on uneven or steep terrain, or from an animal attack.

Risk

“

}}

”

Carrying too much weight beyond carrying capacity or becoming too tired to carry your heavy load will warn the player that they are at 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.

Affliction

“

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.

A Sprained Ankle is treated by using a Bandage or sleeping for 4 cumulative hours. It will not pass on its own.
The associating Pain Affliction can be treated independently with Painkillers or Rose Hip Tea; rest will contribute to resolving all sprains and Pain.
Rope Climbing is not possible with either a Sprained Ankle or Wrist.
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.

Trivia

Equipping a Revolver will reduce the frequency of screen shakes.
