The battle brew is a consumable item in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

CharacteristicsEdit

Battle brew is a potent concoction made from vodka, mutated cave fungi, and salient green. The mixture has no Charisma bonus, but the drinker will be healed and be given greater resistance to injury. In essence, battle brew acts like a combination of Med-X and stimpak. In addition, consuming this ingestible applies a separate effect named "Red Mist", which lasts for 20 seconds and grants +40 action points and an additional +1 STR. Contrary to the (longer) strength bonus, this one stacks with other alcoholic beverages.

CraftingEdit

This item can be crafted by the player.

¹ Can also be crafted at the Strange Still located in the X-13 research facility.

LocationsEdit

• A strange cask can be found on a hill (outside the fence) just northwest of X-7b "Boom Town" target zone close to the Recipe-Guns Skill book. Inside and on top of the cask are 4 bottles of battle brew.
• A second strange cask containing three bottles is opposite the Strange Still in the X-13 research facility.
  • A bottle is lying on the forcefield in the ceiling of the same room. Shooting the forcefield with an upgraded sonic emitter will drop the battle brew into the room.

NotesEdit

• Despite being shown as an alcohol on the Pip-Boy's effect interface, Rose of Sharon Cassidy's perk Whiskey Rose does not remove the negative effects (-1 Intelligence). It is unknown if this is a bug or an oversight.
• If combined with Med-X and slasher you can reach 85 DR.
• Drinking Battle brew gives your vision a red tint for a short time.
• Even though it can be crafted by the player, Battle brew has its own unique world model.
