Gecko kebab (also spelled "kabob" in some versions) is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
The gecko kebab provides a modest amount of health, restoring a total of 80 HP at the Survival skill level necessary to craft it. It is also the best of the minority of food items that provide significant restoration to both the player character's Dehydration and Starvation levels while in hardcore mode.

Locations[]
- Gecko kebabs are occasionally sold by Genaro in Freeside, who will have up to six kebabs in stock.
- They are also on the loot table for hollowed-out rocks in the Honest Hearts add-on.
- There are two gecko kebabs on a cutting board in the kitchen of the Atomic Wrangler Casino, which must be stolen.
Notes[]
- Prior to patch 1.2.0.31x the crafting recipe for gecko kebabs called for one buffalo gourd seed in addition to its other ingredients.
- With the necessary Survival skill and the necessary ingredients (which are common enough in the Mojave), in Hardcore mode, this recipe is more beneficial than that of gecko steaks. While gecko steaks provide a more immediate healing effect, gecko kebabs provide a better overall healing potential, are slightly better at relieving Starvation, and can also relieve Dehydration.
Bugs[]
Although it is referred to by the campfire recipe and internally as "gecko kebab", the item itself is named "gecko kabob" in some versions of the game.[verified]
