Fixer

Fixer is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
This product was created by Med-Tek, for temporarily curing drug addiction.

Like Mentats, they were sold in both cardboard and tin packages, the latter a bit more likely to survive the nuclear holocaust.

''Took too much Jet and now you can't have enough? Had so much Buffout you're on a roid rage? Have no fear, Fixer is here! With Fixer you can take away all those nasty habits for a limited time!''

Characteristics
Fixer temporarily clears any addiction, it also causes the player character to "feel woozy" which produces a visual and audio effect similar to being poisoned that lasts for a certain amount of time. Every 15-30 seconds or so, vision will blur and a loud static noise will play, which can make it a hindrance in combat if the player is not prepared for it but it will pass eventually.

Although the addiction removal is temporary and can easily return with additional use of the addictive chems, the addiction won't automatically return upon the end of the Fixer effect.

Locations

 * Dr. Ada Straus in Novac sometimes sells Fixer and other assorted chems.
 * A few can be bought from Dixon in Freeside, near the east gate. (Unless you've killed him already)
 * 3 Can be found on top of a dresser at Camp Golf, inside the House resort on the second floor.
 * 1 can be found at Allied Technologies Offices inside the Offices, on a desk in the room to the east.
 * 2 can be found at Camp McCarran, in both Medical Tents.
 * 3 Can be found on top of a dresser in Jacobstown, inside Jacobstown Lodge on the second floor. (This room looks almost exactly the same as the one at Camp Golf.) Another one can be found inside a dresser that's laying down on the same floor but in the east corner. (Possibly random loot)
 * After completing the quest High Times you can get 1 from Julie Farkas at the Old Mormon Fort in Freeside once every 24 hours. (To complete the quest you will need 12 Fixer or do a speech- or science-check.)
 * 1 can be found on the floor in the Great Khan Hideout in Boulder City.
 * 1 can be found at a Fiend encampment just west of Vault 3. (Violet's camp.) It's in the small camper to the south-west.
 * 3 can be found inside Aerotech Suite 200 at Aerotech Office Park. One is under a book on top of the bookcase next to the Caravan shotgun. The other one is on the floor behind the bookcase. The third one is in the room to the left as you enter, on a desk.
