Prickly Pear Fruit

 is an consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas. It is the fruit from a prickly pear cactus.

Characteristics
Unlike Barrel Cactus Fruit, prickly pear fruit is rather healthy, and doesn't detract from Endurance. Two prickly pears are required to craft a Bloatfly slider, and two of them can be squeezed into an Empty soda bottle to make some Purified water.

Prior to patch 1.02, three prickly pear fruits were required to craft a bottle of purified water.

Locations

 * One plant grows outside Nellis Air Force Base, on the east side of the bombed-out town.
 * Several plants grow near the Mole Rat Ranch.
 * A patch of 3 can be found on the south end of Novac, behind the gas station with the Reloading Bench and Workbench.
