Thin Red Paste is a consumable item in the Fallout: New Vegas DLC Old World Blues.
Gameplay
A healing item which restores the Courier's Hit Points when consumed, and also temporarily increases maximum HP by 5 points.
Locations
- With the perk Them's Good Eatin', there is a 50% chance that one or more will be in the inventory of any creature killed by the player character.
- Three can be found in X-13 Research Facility in the room where the player character finds the prototype boots, on a table at the room's south end.
Notes
- Thin red paste is component of the more potent Thick Red Paste.
- It is considered a "banned" item by Caesar's Legion, and will be confiscated when the player character travels to the Fort.
- In Hardcore Mode, it has no effect on the player character's FOD or H2O meters.
- Restoring health with this item does not count towards the Desert Survivalist challenge.
Behind the Scenes
Like Blood Sausage, "thin red paste" is a term used in one of the graphic combat results featured in the combat prose of the Fallout series' spiritual predecessor, Wasteland. As in, "you reduced your enemy to a thin red paste."
Bugs
The in-game Pip-Boy description erroneously shows "+7 HP(30s)" instead of +5 Max HP for 240 seconds and +2 HP for 30 seconds.
