Last update: 11 May 2016

Thirst works similarly like hunger and cases identical effects. In order to deal with it, you must drink canned soda or water from your canteen.

	SODA CAN Where to find: all buildings, killed zombies or other players Rareness: very common How to use: press [RMB] and choose Drink soda in the inventory window
	CANTEEN Where to find: all buildings Rareness: common How to use: press [RMB] and choose Drink water in the inventory window

Soda cans can be found everywhere and in high numbers. If you prefer to have your own multi-use source of water, search for a canteen (water bottle). Some of them are full from the start, some need to be filled. An empty canteen is strikethrough with red in the inventory window.

In order to fill up the canteen, you need to find a source of sweet water or a well (present at almost each city and village). While close to a water source, press [RMB] on an empty canteen in your inventory and choose Fill Water Bottle.

It's a good idea to always have two canteen with you, as you always have a spare one while you search for a source to fill up the empty one.
