Water Purification Tablets are a small pack of camping tablets that make tainted water safe to drink. Each tablet cleans one litre of water. A full pack holds about twenty tablets.

They suit any survivor who drinks from rivers, lakes or rain barrels once the taps run dry. Their main strength is speed and ease, since no fire, pot or stove is needed. Their main cost is that each pack runs out.

The tablets are a common find in camping stores, hunting lodges and pawn shops.

Using

The tablets are used through the Purify Water option. It can be chosen on the tablets or on a container of tainted water in the inventory. Each use spends one tablet and cleans one litre.

A larger container needs one use per litre. The tainted water mark disappears from the container once all of it is clean. A 10 litre bucket, for example, takes ten tablets.

That makes the tablets best for bottles and canteens rather than big barrels. A full pack cleans about twenty litres in all.

Upkeep

The pack shrinks with every tablet used. When the last tablet is gone, the pack is used up.

Locations

Camping stores are the best place to look. Their counters, shelves and storage hold a pack about one time in three. Hunting lodge counters and shelves and pawn shops are just as good. Army surplus shelves and fishing storage come next. Survivor caches hold them in their crates now and then. Zombies in a dean outfit or a camper outfit sometimes carry a pack. ALICE belts and army packs found in loot can hold one too.

The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container. Each tab shows one kind of place.
