Dead Money Collar

The Dead Money collar is a piece of armor in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.

Overview
Obtained by Elijah during his investigation of the Big Empty, these collars are more advanced then the more commonly seen Slave collar. It can be detonated remotely through a special radio frequency, as well as being programmed to detonate should other slave collars go inactive (due to the wearers death). Because of these added features, Elijah finds the collars a perfect tool to get unsuspecting wanderers of the wastes to aid him in his efforts to break into the Sierra Madre vault.

Characteristics
Providing a damage threshold of 3, this special collar was developed in the Big Empty. It can be remotely detonated by Elijah should the wearer try to disobey his order, or attempt to escape the Sierra Madre. Being far from perfect, the collar can be accidentally set off by certain radio frequencies. This makes it a dangerous thing to wear around any active radios or speakers. An additional feature of the collar (though whether this was programmed by Elijah, or was part of its original functionality is unclear) is a dead man's switch function. This will detonate all collars within a specified group should one of those members die or be killed. The frequency can, however, be interrupted should the collars be divided by objects made with Saturnite alloys.

Locations
One is automatically equipped at the beginning of Dead Money and cannot be removed until the completion of Heist of the Centuries.

Appearances
The Dead Money collar appears in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Dead Money.
