An implant is a medical device manufactured to enhance an existing biological structure.
Acquiring implants
The implants are transplanted by an Auto-Doc. A particular implant that differs in application from the other implants is the Implant GRX, an implant that can be injected directly like a stimpak without using an Auto-Doc. It causes a brief slowdown of the surroundings for two to three seconds and is destroyed afterward by the body. The user must have a resistant body to use it without side effects and the total limit per day is five at first but can be increased to ten.[1]
Plans for the combat implant can be found in Vault 8 of Vault City in Fallout 2, and Doctor Usanagi of the Followers of the Apocalypse can perform the operation for both the physical implant and the special implant in the New Vegas Medical Clinic in Fallout: New Vegas. Other special implants are available in Big MT in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Types
Brotherhood implants (Fallout)
| SPECIAL Stat | Cost | Recovery Time | Description | PC Reaction (After Surgery) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | 2,000 bottle caps | 3 Weeks (21 days) | "That's easy to do but there's a long recovery time. It only costs 2000 scripts but takes 3 weeks to heal." | You can already tell the difference. |
| Perception | 4,000 bottle caps | 1 Week (7 days) | "Now that's a difficult operation. It costs 4000 scripts, but the recovery from this operation is only a week." | All of your senses feel much sharper. |
| Endurance | 3,000 bottle caps | 1 Week (7 days) | "This one's not that difficult. It takes about a week and will cost 3000 scripts." | You feel great! |
| Intelligence | 6,000 (3000 if INT < 4) bottle caps | 3 Weeks (21 days) | "This is the most complex and dangerous! It'll take 3 weeks and costs 6000 scripts." | It's as if the pathways of your thoughts have direct links to everywhere in your head and your memories are much crisper. |
| Agility | 5,000 bottle caps | 3 Weeks (21 days) | "This isn't that tough of an operation but it is very costly and time consuming. It will take 3 weeks and cost 5000 scripts." | You flex your muscles and can feel the increased speed and control. |
