Stealth Boy (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Stealth Boy is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Gameplay
It generates a modulating field that transmits the reflected light from one side of an object to the other. The end result makes the wearer almost invisible to the untrained eye.

After the war, a variant known as the Stealth Boy Mark II prototype is being studied by Doctor Henry. His research focuses on the effects of the device, stating that although the prototype's purpose was to use less power, unintended negative effects of the device's modulating field includes permanent neurochemical changes, such as schizophrenia, especially among Nightkin.
