The Plastic Cup is a cheap disposable drinking cup. It holds a small amount of water or another drink.

It is useful early on as a simple vessel for drinking. It weighs almost nothing. Its main cost is its tiny size, since it holds only a mouthful or two. Its contents can only be purified in a microwave.

Plastic Cups are everywhere in beer gardens and arena kitchens. They also turn up in living rooms and bins.

Using


The cup holds up to 200 millilitres of fluid. With at least 120 millilitres of water, seltzer water or tainted water inside, a thirsty survivor drinks from it on their own.

Water of unknown quality must be boiled before it is safe to drink. Only a microwave can do that for a plastic cup. Purifying in the cup therefore works only while the power still runs.

The cup is best kept at a base for a quick drink.

Locations


Beer garden bins and counters almost always hold one. Arena kitchen counters are nearly as certain. Living rooms keep them in wardrobes, dressers and side tables fairly often. Bins in any building and at fire stations hold one about one time in ten. Derelict buildings turn one up rarely. It is a very common find.

Notes


  • The in-game tooltip says its contents can only be purified in a microwave.
  • A survivor drinks from it on their own once it holds enough water.
  • Tainted water in the cup needs a microwave to become safe.
  • Its small size suits a base, not a long trip.
