Red plate (Fallout 3)

A red plate is a miscellaneous item in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
In Fallout 3, it is only useful as Rock-It Launcher ammunition. Because of its weight, it is less desirable than other items which weigh less (or nothing) and is therefore almost completely useless.

Locations
It is commonly found in kitchens throughout the wastes, though not as common as regular white plates.

Fallout 3

 * 16 in Fort Constantine's personnel offices
 * 11 in Vault 101's lower level, during the birthday party
 * 25 in The Pitt's abandoned apartments

Fallout: New Vegas

 * 5 are found in the REPCONN headquarters store.

Behind the scenes
The general appearance and relative rarity of the red plate may be a reference to the Fiestaware red plate, a ceramic plate produced in the mid-1900s which was notable for emitting a large (but generally harmless) amount of radiation from its brilliant red uranium-rich glaze.
