Stimpak (Fallout 3)

Stimpak, or stimulation delivery package, is a consumable in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The stimpak is a type of hand-held medication used for healing the body. It consists of a syringe for containing and delivering the medication and a gauge for measuring the status of the stimpak's contents. When the medicine is injected, it provides immediate healing of the body's minor wounds.

The amount of health restored by one stimpak is between 30–90 HP (36–108 HP with the Fast Metabolism perk), and is dependent on the Medicine skill. It is equivalent to the expression $$30 + 0.6M$$ (with Fast Metabolism, $$(30 + 0.6M) \times 1.2$$ or $$36 + 0.72M$$), where $$M$$ is the level of the Medicine skill.

Uses
In contrast to previous games, stimpaks in Fallout 3 can be used to heal crippled limbs. When used on a limb, it heals a relatively high amount of damage on the limb, along with slight healing for the body overall. Conversely, when used on the whole body, a relatively high amount of damage on the whole body is healed, but the limbs are healed only slightly. Because of this, the use of stimpaks is rather tactical.

Locations
Stimpaks can be found in almost every first aid box and often accompany other hand-held medical equipment on compartment trays. They also appear in the wares of most merchants, even if the merchants are not specialized in selling medical supplies.
