Valence Radii-Accentuator

The valence radii-accentuator is a piece of headwear in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Characteristics
It is a bright blue holographic aureola resembling an electron orbital floating above the head of the wearer that moves according to their movement. While wearing valence radii-accentuator, the player appears bald. The valence radii-accentuator fills the same slot as a pair of glasses, and thus may be worn with certain hats.

Behind the scenes
An "accentuator" is a circuit or network inserted to provide less loss or greater gain to certain frequencies in an audio spectrum, as a preemphasis spectrum. The valence radii-accentuator may have been designed to resemble an electron orbital in this case with a valence of 2 such as those elements listed in Group IIa of the periodic table.

Bugs

 * When switching between another Valence, you will become fully healed.
 * When equipped without a helmet/hat, your hair will disappear.
 * If the rebreather is equipped, then the Valence radii-accentuator, the rebreather will be unequipped, but the water-breathing effect will remain until the radii-accentuator is removed.
 * As Veronica is not prone to wear hats, equipping her with this item will always cause her to appear bald.
