Dirty Water (Fallout: New Vegas)

Dirty water is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Dirty water is the most common water in the game, and is drawn from the tainted lakes and rivers of Fallout: New Vegas. Unlike purified water, this will give you radiation, which can be cured for a fee by a doctor, or by using RadAway.

Consuming contaminated water is much more irksome than in Fallout 3, because of the lack of My First Infirmary. However, with Hardcore mode enabled, it may be a necessary consumable, as it can be difficult for players early in the game without a canteen to find adequate quantities of purified water.

Locations

 * 20 can be brought from Lupe at the Grub n' Gulp rest stop along with several bottles of purified water.
 * Sometimes found in first aid boxs.
