Every Addictive Fallout Chem Explained

Buffout has 50 pills in each bottle , no wonder Cait gets so mad at me for using it

@@chaosthecottoncandyfoxyeah and what’s makes it worst is your know it’s 50 tablets because you find them in lockboxes from before the war. It’s possible that the effects have aged over the years so it ain’t as powerful but I doubt it.

[@ArandomPerson7996]

I feel that stimpaks must REALLY hurt, as they Like, FIX broken boned etc, like. They sound like torture.

[@tinaherr3856]

It really depends on the amount and type of damage you receive. Because healing a normal slash probably wouldn't hurt. But if it pushes broken bones back into place, instead of just accelerating the healing, then yeah, it might hurt

[@Genrevideos]

Well that and the people who use stimpacks in the midst of a firefight are probably so hyped up on an adrenaline rush that any notion of pain just does not register in the human body.

[@Genrevideos]

[MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE FALLOUT TV SERIES] Actually now that I think about it, when I watched the pilot episode for the show, we did see Lucy inject herself with a stimpack after defeating her raider groom who tried to kill her. And from what I can see, it looked like it stung her a little bit. It might be slightly painful if you’re not feeling an adrenaline rush.

In the original Fallout games Nuka-Cola was addictive but all the addiction did was occasion bring up a bit a text in your pip-boy about how you want some Nuka-Cola.

[@Seventh_Bean]

Solomon needs to get his shit together.

[@paladinkhan]

That should come back, thats my real life addiction to sodie pop. The occasional thought "perhaps a soda with this meal" feels much the same as damn i want a nuka cola

[@chaseviking5096]

Pretty much it's addictive like pop particularly higj caffeine pop such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Mountain Dew. You get that caffeine addiction which although is a addiction, it's nothing compared to drug addictions or even a addiction to tobacco.

[@manofwarb]

"Don't take Med-X!" "Don't take Turbo!" Okay, so how else do I become a Mighty Morphine Turbo Ranger?

[@thedarkdragon89]

This is hilarious!

[@inductivegrunt94]

Being a loot goblin I am, Buffout is my preferred chem thanks to having a boost to strength. And surprisingly in Fallout 76 I rarely get addicted to the stuff even with no chem resistant perk cards active.

[@jeffdroog]

Cool! Try telling someone who cares though lol

[@svgarpaws]

relatable, even though my strength is pretty high because of a combination of mutations and perks, I still love munching on Buffout and ribeye steaks to be able to carry even more junk I'll never use 😼

[@gloomybunny2628]

​@@jeffdroog I care

[@paladinkhan]

I care. I would agree though, i always steered clear of chems but in new vegas id use turbo and buffout, or jet and buffout in 4. But same in 3, buffout always got a pass. Or mentats when i needed a few extra points of strength. Ya dont get addicted if you keep it in moderation lol

[@paladinkhan]

​@@jeffdroog"lol"

[@locrpg]

I appreciate your takes on these! As someone who does playthroughs without chems, it was nice to learn what they actually do!

I try to stay away from most chems, but I will always pick up any alcohol I find. Gotta cope with the apocalypse somehow.

When you finished talking about Turbo with the words "why do we have so much Jet", I chuckled and thought of the Jet derivate Rushing Water, one of my favorite New Vegas craftables for my current explosive/melee build

[@TheMilkman62]

So for the whole amphetamines for people with adhd thing here's how it works. Individuals with ADHD usually have lower levels of dopamine, which is a chemical released in the brain that makes you feel good. This lack of dopamine causes people with ADHD to constantly seek stimulation. Adderall works by increasing levels of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, thus bringing the brain from a state of overstimulation to a normal state of stimulation.

[@thedarkdragon89]

I've had ADHD my entire life, I assure you, this is accurate.

[@wayneigoe6722]

18:13 as an added point for that, in high doses, stimulants can cause side effects like seizures and memory issues akin to dementia after ceasing its use. I know this personally because its actually happened to me.

[@imALazyPanda]

Def agree with most of these but ive thought psycho closer to pcp. While it could be similar to amphetamines i think pcp is more fitting. Agression, damage resistance but it doesnt increase your perception/intelligence or agility. It just makes you not care about the pain and i take the damage increase as losing finer motor control, not being able to properly pull punches, always using all your strength. Those things are pretty similar to the dissociative properties of pcp.

[@DanielHorn-uo3qz]

Med x and stimpacks is the only Chem I use when I play. Especially when I have to face a horde of super mutants or a death claw

[@jeffdroog]

Cool! No one gives a shit though man lol

[@davidduvall1947]

Through out all versions of the game Stimpacks are the only chem i use. I could see yhe benefits but knew I'd always wonder"is it me or the chem winning". 😊

Med-x, Mentats, and hydra are completely fine. Why do you think pain killers shouldn't be used? Would you NOT take painkillers if you broke a leg or something?

[@ijneb1248]

Cuz the game gives you -1 agility if you take too many Also look at what happened to dr mobius after too many mentats or joana after getting hooked on med-x

[@FinnDanger-e3v]

@@ijneb1248 that's because he's a brain in a weird advanced jar, Mentats are fine in normal circumstances, and infact they make children who have them, permanently smarter. As for Med-X, it is very obviously just morphine, which is a real world medication. Hydra definitely actually heals you, like look at head wounds, they make give you a straight up concussion which would not be fixed if it was a painkiller. And, real life medicine if taken in large doses, is also addictive.

[@morg630]

Yeah idk this video was pretty annoying with the whole "dont do chems kids haha" thing, but I'm pretty sure it's for monetization reasons? Him specifically stressing the video is educational multiple times definitely makes me think that's the case. I don't know why youtube would punish a video for talking about fictional drugs...but I absolutely believe that's something the algorithm would pick up on. Even though I understand it, it doesn't really make it less annoying, though. Imagine telling a doctor in the hospital to not give somebody morphine because pain is important 😭

[@lunarluger3498]

​@morg630 yeah its cause monetization etc.

[@Starholder96]

I frankly always figured that Buffout was just meth; heightened temporary combat ability and the ability to ignore that you are overencumbered, and it’s not like prewar companies would be conflicted with selling meth

[@OldieBugger]

Finnish Far Patrols used amphetamines to keep the men awake during the patrol which could take days to complete. About the things they did... I had a friend whose father was one of those men on Far Patrols. Even after the war he had nightmares for what they had done there.

In real life there is a drug called methadrone that is made from plant fertilizer so id say jet is actually that methadrone has the affect of making u faster ur reactions faster,faster thought patterns ect so id say jet is a mixture of meth and methadrone

Yes, morphine has very legitimate medical uses, but like all drugs it has the potential to be abused

Fentanyl is used in hospitals too just because it has medical use doesnt make it an "extremely helpful" drug

@@ijneb1248 Fentanyl too is an extremely helpful drug, its a very strong pain killer used to help cancer ridden people. Obv it's bad when abused, like any high power drug, but when given to you by a trusted doctor yes it's helpful. You ever hear about what things were like without Morphine, imagine surgery without a way to dull the pain. Morphine is literately the gold standard of pain meds. I'm not saying these two aren't over proscribed, or something, clearly there is an issue, but to say they aren't helpful is fucking crazy
