Aqua Pura is literally "pure water" (in Latin) that is available once the add-on Broken Steel is installed, and the quest Take it Back! is completed. This water is from the Potomac river basin, and has been completely cleansed of its radioactivity and contaminants by the purifier at the Jefferson Memorial.

Characteristics

If the water is not infected with the Modified FEV, then Aqua Pura is just normal, filtered water that restores 20 Hit Points; identical to purified water.

Drinking the water after choosing to infect it with the modified FEV will, along with restoring 20 Hit Points, result in a player debuff and upon consuming three bottles; it kills the player character. The debuff lowers Intelligence by one for 24 minutes and lowers Strength; first by five points for 12 minutes, then by four for 6 minutes, then by two for a final 6 minutes (for a total of 24 minutes).

Locations

The yellow barrels of Aqua Pura can be found across the Capital Wasteland (once Broken Steel is installed). Scavengers with pack brahmin carrying barrels can be seen making deliveries on merchant routes, protected by Brotherhood of Steel Knights and Paladins. Stolen barrels can be found in the possession of raiders, Talon Company mercs, Enclave troops, super mutants, and Slavers, (since the Brotherhood refuses to give them water) and are often used as bait for ambushes. Bottles of Aqua Pura can be found in abundance within the Citadel, with at least five bottles per room, or in crates.

Notes

  • Why the Infected Aqua Pura kills the player character can be explained by the fact that the Lone Wanderer was actually born outside of a Vault and thus they are not immune to the modified FEV, which was designed to kill anyone who had prolonged exposure to the radiation and other mutational effects of the Wasteland.
  • Other than the value and the label, uninfected Aqua Pura is identical to the purified water found throughout the Capital Wasteland prior to the events portrayed in Broken Steel. Notably, this water is the same color as dirty water, presumably because it was dirty water prior to purification.
  • Aqua Pura infected with Modified FEV can be given to Water Beggars in exchange for evil Karma.
  • Aqua Pura is different from Aqua Cura, which is related to the quest The Amazing Aqua Cura!.
