NotesEdit

• This perk synergizes well with the Chem Resistant perk, the latter providing a 50% resistance against addiction.
• Chemist affects any item which also influence the Chems Taken statistic.

List of Fallout: New Vegas itemsEdit

• Turbo
• Jet
• Psycho
• Implant GRX
• Steady
• Stealth Boy
• Buffout
• Skill magazines

NotesEdit

• In Hardcore mode, all positive effects (including foods, medicines, chems...) are also affected by this perk, for example: gecko steak, RadAway, stimpak, purified water, ....etc.
• Synergizes well with Chem Resistant, Fast Times, Day Tripper, Whiskey Rose and a high Survival skill.
• If you have both Chemist and Day Tripper, all consumable foods have their times increased. For example, the effects of brahmin meat normally last for 15 seconds; with these two perks it increases the duration up to 40 seconds. This is likely due to the game engine defining a chem as anything that can "wear off", which food does in the game.
• The increased duration of healing items does not show up in the list of effects for the items on the Pip-Boy.
• This perk also affects Stealth Boys, making them last 4 minutes. Combined with Stealth Girl, they can last over 8 minutes.
