Giant rat meat is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics

Giant rat meat is the raw filleted meat of giant rats. It can often be looted from giant rat corpses.

It is one of the few meats in the Mojave Wasteland that is not used in crafting other consumables.

It should not be confused with the rat meat sold by Genaro in Freeside.

Notes

  • Two children can be seen chasing a giant rat around Freeside. Though they never catch the rat on their own, they will gather around and noisily devour chunks of meat from it should the player kill it. Nevertheless, the meat can still be found in the dead rat's inventory.
