Vigilant Recycler

Vigilant Recycler is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

Effects
Waste not, want not. When you use Energy Weapons, you are more likely to recover drained ammunition. You also have more efficient recycling recipes available at the wasteland's Workbenches.

The efficient recycling recipes make you twice as likely to recover drained cells when you use Energy weapons, reduce the cost of recharging drained cells from four to three.

Another test of this perk: Weapon: RCW, 400 rounds of electron charge pack: 32% Base Recovery Rate, 54% with Perk. Effective rounds recovered: 8% Base, 18% with Perk.

Patch 1.3.0.452:
 * Weapon: RCW. 1000 cells of electron charge pack.
 * 725 of Drained electron charge pack recovered, recycled to 241 electron charge pack.
 * 361 of Drained electron charge pack recovered, recycled to 90 electron charge pack.

Bugs
