Implant Y-3

Implant Y-3 is a special perk in Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues. It can be obtained by purchasing it from the Auto-Doc in The Sink for 12,000 caps.

Effects
Removes any radiation taken from drinking an irradiated water source.

Note
This perk take your Radiation Resist to calculate, it's core formula is: (1 - (Player.GetActorValue RadResist / 100))

Player has high enough Radiation Resistance will cause this perk useless.


 * Example:
 * RadResist 70%, drinking "Dirty Water" (Rad+1) ==>> Radiation +1
 * RadResist 69%, drinking "Dirty Water" (Rad+1) ==>> no Radiation
 * RadResist 15%, drinking "Dirty Water" (Rad+5) ==>> no Radiation

Behind the scenes

 * All implant perks of Old World Blues use this image and they are the only characteristics in the SPECIAL that have no Vault Boy or Vault Girl but only a vault boyish item.
 * The image for this perk is the same image of the icon for the RobCo processor widget, a quest item in Fallout 3.
 * The Lead Belly perk can remove some rads from both water and food, that perk itself is somewhat obsolete compared to Rad Resistance. Overall the use of this implant could be considered questionable at best.
