"Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Innovate New Strategies Against Dragonsplague"

In Dragon’s Dogma 2, players are grappling with the in-game virus Dragonsplague, which spreads among Pawns, NPC party members that can be rented online, and can devastate entire in-game towns if not managed. Players have devised a system using rotten food as a warning sign for infected Pawns, and some have turned to mods to either remove or mitigate the virus. While mods risk altering the intended game experience, the community's use of rotten food as a warning signal encourages player cooperation and embraces the game's design.
