Mentats

Mentats are pre-war chems created by Med-Tek. These red pills increase memory related functions and speed up other mental processes. They are, of course, highly addictive.

Mentats appear in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3 and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.

Fallout 3
Mentats return in Fallout 3, though their effects have been slightly altered to provide greater boosts to Intelligence and Perception, while omitting the increase to Charisma.

Additionally, in The National Archives, specially-flavored Mentats were given to anyone who won a trivia contest regarding the Declaration of Independence. This contest still exists in electronic form for the player to try.

The bonus flavors of Mentats provide +5 boost to a single S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attribute:
 * Berry Mentats
 * Orange Mentats
 * Grape Mentats
