Radscorpion Poison Gland (Fallout 3)

A  is a miscellaneous item that appears in Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. It is a poison gland taken from the tail of a radscorpion, giant radscorpion, or albino radscorpion. A normal radscorpion has a single poison gland, the giant and albino varieties have four.

Uses

 * Poison glands are a component used in the construction of the dart gun (Fallout 3).
 * Both antivenom and Hydra requires poison glands in its crafting. (Fallout: New Vegas)
 * At weight 1 and a value of 30 caps,(value of 25 in Fallout: New Vegas) Radscorpion poison glands have a very high weight-to-value ratio, higher than any other miscellaneous item short of certain unique or quest-related items (and weightless items). Because poison glands are effectively limitless in supply they provide a reliable way of making money throughout the game.

Locations

 * One in the Trapper's Shack basement in the Point Lookout add-on.
 * Aside from the above locations, radscorpions can be found all over the Capital Wasteland (though they are less common in urban areas).

Bugs

 * When fired at a wall through the Rock-It launcher, they may become stuck in the wall, like railway spikes. However, it has not been tested if they can also nail humans, ghouls, or super mutants to a wall, but this is unlikely due to the fact it sometimes bounces off the wall instead of embedding itself.


 * In the main drug-making trailer at Red Rock Drug Lab, there are two Radscorpion glands on the table. If you take some object from the table. They will most likely fall through the table, making them almost inaccessible.
