Fallout 3 aid

This is a list of known Fallout 3 edibles.

NOTE: The Food Sanitizer increases +HP values by 20%, leaving the radiation rating unchanged. This bonus is confered at the cost of weight; the Food Sanitizer has a weight of 7 and must be kept in the player's inventory to work. You get it as a reward from the quest The Wasteland Survival Guide.

Food

 * ¹ Sugar Bombs can be sold for 15 caps (30 with Speech) through the Murphy's Bombing Run objective. This will allow you to purchase Ultrajet From him every 10 Sugar Bombs sold to him.
 * Try not to keep too many items that only restore 5 HP, although they only weigh 1 unit, they really can add up over time, try to only keep items that heal 10 of more HP. And really, you don't need to search every mole rat, radroach, and bloatfly you kill

Beverages

 * If you find that you have a ton of liquor in your inventory, sell the vodka (it's worth more than the others) and the whiskey, and the scotch (high addiction chance for both). Keep some beer and wine because of the lower addiction rate.
 * If you have a 48% speech chance, drink a bottle of liquor to push it up maybe 7 points, then wait for and hour (Select button for PS3) for the low intelligence to wear off

Drugs
NOTE: Durations and efficency may differ depending on your Medicine skill and via some perks.
 * The power of Stimpaks, Rad-X and Rad Away depend on your Medicine skill. All effects listed here are at 100 Medicine skill.
 * Try "Stacking" Chems. If you are in a tight firefight that you might lose, take a Jet, a Med-X, and a Buffout. You will get an extra shot with VATS, +25 damage resistance, and +60 health for the length of the battle.
 * Another good "stack" is the mixture of Psycho and Yao Guai Meat, which provides +35% damage.
 * ¹Bloodpacks give +20 HP if you have the Hematophage perk, gained from the Blood Ties Quest.
 * You can sell blood packs to the Family for 15 caps each (30 with Speech Challenge)
 * ²You can help Murphy make Ultrajet on your way to The Family HQ by giving him Sugar Bombs.
 * If you become addicted to a drug, you must find a town doctor. The clinic in Megaton can cure your addiction, though the doctor in Little Lamplight can't cure, well, anything. Alternately, if you have a home in either Megaton or Tenpenny Tower you can purchase a laboratory set from the appropriate housing improvement vendors and use it to clean yourself of addictions.
 * ³You can find alot of these by going to the Muesum of History and taking the quiz on the American Revolution. You get a voucher which you can redeem for a fruit mentat. If you have a good lockpick skill, you can unlock a safe in the office for 6 free vouchers

Miscellaneous
While Stealth Boy is an electronic device and not an edible by any means, it is treated as such in Fallout 3 in terms of gameplay mechanics.


 * Remember, although you are invisible, enemies can still hear you.
