No More Room in Hell 2: How to Cure Infection
Learn how infection treatment works in No More Room in Hell 2, including Phalanx Pills, Experimental Gene Therapy, extraction, and evidence limits.
Quick answer
Use Phalanx Pills to delay infection, or use the rarer Experimental Gene Therapy Cure to remove it and protect the Responder for the rest of that match. Successfully extracting also clears the infection.
Pills buy time; gene therapy is the cure
Official game material confirms both pills and a gene therapy cure. Community documentation consistently describes Phalanx as a delaying treatment rather than a permanent cure, while Experimental Gene Therapy removes the infection and provides match-long immunity.
The collected research says a Phalanx bottle has three uses, but that count comes from community documentation rather than a current official item sheet. Check the live inventory description if a later patch changes it.
Recognize the risk early
The official Road to 1.0 video warns that zombie damage or grabs can infect you. Community material also identifies low-health attacks and a Shambler gas cloud as risks, but exact thresholds have not been published by the developer.
Do not wait for the final symptoms before telling the squad. An earlier warning gives teammates time to search, share treatment, or adjust the extraction plan.
What the sources do not prove
Claims about exact stamina penalties, health thresholds, blindness duration, and a self-sacrifice key come from a single community mechanics page. They are useful leads, not firm 1.0 facts.
The safest current answer is therefore treatment-focused: pills delay, gene therapy cures, and extraction clears the infection.
