Description: The playe in Far Cry 2 must deal with malaria. Every 30 to 40 minutes in real time, the player must take a pill in order to combat the effects of the illness. When the player runs out of medicine, he or she will have to do a simple mission in order to get more. The player's reputation comes into play as the more and more notorious the player becomes, the harder it will be to obtain the medication. If the player remains vigilant about taking their medication, they receive more health, faster health regeneration, and greater stamina; allowing them to sprint and hold their breath underwater for greater periods of time, as an incentive to regularly take the pills when prompted. However, the player does not have to obtain new medication during side quests and general gameplay; only main missions cause the player's stock of medicine to decrease. Therefore, it is mostly used to prevent the player from quickly "blowing through" the game.
