Jack Rabbit springs: Crawling with centaurs and hot springs, peaks at 10 rads per second when swimming. Old nuclear test site: Around 20 rads/second. Camp Searchlight: As much as 28 rads per second in the town center. Dry Wells: Ground zero, up to 102 rads/second. This resistance is applied to all sources of radiation, from the external environment to irradiated consumables. A dose of the chem Rad-X also grants the player a radiation resistance based on his or her Medicine skill, but the effects do not stack. Radiation can be resisted by equipping certain types of apparel, such as radiation suits or power armor. 
The Irradiated Beauty perk in Lonesome Road removes rads while sleeping. The auto-doc in Big Mt's Sink completely clears rads. Rad Absorption confers a constant radiation removal effect. Its effectiveness depends on the player's medicine skill. Most doctors will flush the rads for 100 caps. The accumulated radiation can be removed in a variety of ways: The Rad Resistance perk also provides an increase to radiation resistance. The Lead Belly perk also reduces exposure to radiation by halving the amount of rads obtained while drinking. The player can moderate radiation exposure by increasing radiation resistance with Rad-X (effectiveness scales with Medicine) and radiation suits. The game helpfully displays the current irradiation at the status screen and on the Pip-Boy 3000's dosimeter in the upper right on the HUD and on the Pip-Boy itself when the player accesses it. There are five major stages of radiation poisoning at 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 rads. While radiation never directly affects the current hit point level, the player will receive progressive penalties to SPECIAl, until they reach a total of 1000 rads and die. It also adds a new perk, Rad Child.Īs such, radiation is accumulated from a variety of sources, including exposure to its sources, micronuclear explosions (such as Fat Man detonations or cars), swimming in irradiated water, and eating and drinking contaminated food. Radiation only applies to the player: Any non-player characters do not gain rads.įallout: New Vegas uses the same radiation mechanics as Fallout 3, and retains several of its perks, such as Lead Belly, Rad Resistance and Rad Absorption. 
At max level, it will cause instant death. Radiation is an environmental hazard in Fallout: New Vegas.
