Why the character went blind: all possible reasons

B My Summer Car Blinding doesn't just happen; there's always a specific mechanic or bug behind it. Let's look at the main triggers:

• 🚗 Accident or head blow - the most common. Hitting the steering wheel, windshield, or falling from a great height can cause head injury and temporary loss of vision.
• 💊 Alcohol overdose. If you drink too much Kilos or Lonkaluodut, the character will not only become drunk, but also risk going blind for several in-game days.
• 🎮 Bugs and glitches of the game. Sometimes blinding occurs for no apparent reason - it could be due to a mod, an update, or a save conflict.
• 🔥 Fire or explosion. Exploding a gas tank, being caught in a fire, or coming into close contact with an open flame can cause eye damage.
• 💀 Death and respawn. In rare cases, after resurrection, a character appears blind - this is a bug related to the mechanics of death.
