Super Stimpak (Fallout: New Vegas)

Super stimpak is a more advanced version of the regular stimpak. While it heals more severe wounds, it also has unpleasant side effects.

The super version comes in a hypodermic, but with an additional vial containing more powerful drugs than the basic model and a leather belt to strap the needle to your limb.

Characteristics
In addition to healing, Fallout: New Vegas also adds the debuff "stimpak sickness" which happens after using a super stimpak. Its effects are STR -1 and AGL -1 and its duration lasts for around 3–4 minutes, and cannot be cured by Fixer but can be fixed with Buffout. It is very problematic, especially in combat, as it may cause the player to become overburdened and therefore slow in a critical situation.

Crafting
This item can be crafted by the player.

Creation requirements

¹ Craftable without a workbench via a dialogue option with Veronica, or with ED-E with at least 1 rank of the Camarader-E perk.
