Buffout is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background[]

Buffout is a highly advanced steroid that was popularized before the Great War by professional athletes and their clandestine use of the drug.[Non-game 1]

Characteristics[]

Buffout is a performance-enhancing drug that boosts both Strength and Endurance, in addition to a health increase of 60 HP. After about ten minutes the chem wears off and 60 HP will be lost from the current total. With less than 60 health when it wears off, total health will be reduced to 1. Addiction can occur and can only be removed by a visit to a doctor, temporarily by taking more Buffout, or by taking Fixer. It carries a 10% addiction rate.

By looking carefully at bottles of Buffout, the player character can see that the icon for Buffout in Fallout and Fallout 2 is integrated into the labeling of the item. Printed on the bottles are lengthy usage instructions and an expiration date of 10/13.
