Healing powder is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

It can be found already made or crafted at a campfire. Sunny Smiles teaches how to do this in the quest By a Campfire on the Trail.

Characteristics

Although made at a campfire, healing powder uses the Medicine skill to scale its effectiveness. It also counts as a stimpak for the purposes of the Stim-ply Amazing achievement.

Soldiers of the Legion use healing powder as their primary source of medicine and healing, since the Legion bans the use of other chems, such as stimpaks. Due to this, the Courier can find healing powder around Legion camps and carried by legionaries. Large quantities of healing powder are found at the Legion fort.

Legate Lanius carries a special version called Leg. healing powder. It is weightless, heals 3 HP per second over 27 seconds at maximum effectiveness, and uses the same world model as Buffout.

Crafting

This item can be crafted by the player.

Notes

  • Healing powder is the only craftable item in the base game that has no skill requirement.
  • Though healing powder counts as being healed via stimpak for the Stim-ply Amazing achievement, its use does not show as a stimpak used on the Pip-Boy 3000.
  • Teaching Siri an improved recipe for healing powder, (unmarked quest Powder to the People), which requires a Survival skill of 20, will gain Legion fame.
  • If you have an accepted or better reputation with the Legion, Siri will give you a daily supply.
  • An unmarked quest in Honest Hearts involves giving Daniel additional supplies of healing powder, explained through a note given to the player after their first meeting with Daniel.
