Killed by radiation, not in radiation zone

Recommended Posts

I was killed by radiation but I wasn't in the red circle radiation zone. Was this the "radiation wave" if so, it doesn't appear at all on the map so you have no idea which way to go to get away.

The red circle has nothing to do with radiation, it indicates an approximate airdrop landing zone. It will be changed later to green, so it doesn't look like danger (although it kind of is, when more people try to get the airdrop :D). The radiation direction is indicated by an arrow in one of the map corners. It will be indicated more clearly later. When the radiation starts creeping it, the Geiger counter starts to tick slowly. When you are in the radiation, the sound of Geiger is much more intense, and there is a post-process effect on your screen; you can also see your max health dropping at an increasing pace. Hope this helps. :)
