Lead Belly

Lead Belly is a perk in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.

Effects
With the Lead Belly perk, 50% less radiation is taken every time you drink from an irradiated water source. In Fallout: New Vegas, this benefit extends to all irradiated food and drink.

Effects
At levels 1 and 2 of this perk, the non-linear Radiation Resistance function, which works similarly to Damage Resistance, is applied to reduce the rads received from ingested food and drink. For example a Radiation resistance of 10 (Level 1 of this perk) will reduce the rads in an item that normally delivers 10 rads, by half, to 5 rads. A resistance of 20 (Level 2) will reduce the rads in an item that normally delivers 20 rads, by half, to 10 rads. The reduced rad effect of consuming the food or drink item is shown in the Pip-Boy, rounded to the nearest whole number: a stated rad count of 0 indicates a fractional value that is below 0.5 rads but likely above 0 rads.

The third level of the perk simply eliminates any rads from any ingested item: no rads are shown in the Pip-Boy, not even "0 rads" is shown.

Bugs
The radiation resistance provided by the first two levels of this perk is added to the radiation resistance displayed in the Pip-Boy. This is incorrect (and can be misleading), as this specific radiation resistance is only applied to ingested items, and has no effect in resisting environmental radiation or radiation from weapons.
