*The usefulness of this perk is debatable, as Rad-Away and Rad-X become fairly common items later on in the game. In addition, several types of apparel, including some types of [[Power Armor (Fallout 3)|power armor]], have radiation resistance.
 
*The [[Rad Resistance]] perk is a better choice for it works on the water sources and other sources (like foods). For example: Taking Lead Belly brings the 5 rads/sec fire hydrants to 2 rads/sec but doesn't effect things such as Nuka Cola. The Rad Resist perk added to the character's base 10% (assuming 5 endurance) gives 35% resistance. With 35% resists the same fire hydrant is lowered to 3 rads/sec plus Nuka Cola's 2 rad/sec is lowered to 1 and all wasteland radiation sources are resisted.

With the Lead Belly perk, you take 50% less radiation every time you drink from an irradiated water source.— In-game description

Lead Belly is a perk in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4.[citation needed]

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas

Effects

With the Lead Belly perk, 50% less radiation is taken every time you drink from an irradiated water source. In Fallout: New Vegas, this benefit extends to all irradiated food and drink.

Notes

  • Because both games rely on the same engine as Oblivion, which used floating point numbers even if the player only saw rounded whole numbers, it is highly likely that a source of water that goes (for example) from "1 Rad" pre-perk to "1 Rad" post-perk is still accurately treated internally i.e. 1 Rad versus .5 Rad.
  • At high levels this perk may become redundant; RadAway, Rad-X, and apparel with radiation resistance, such as power armor, become more available and readily obtainable.
  • In Fallout: New Vegas, There is an abundance of clean water, reducing the relative usefulness of the perk, although the benefit is extended to all irradiated food and water.
  • With the addition of Implant Y-3 in Old World Blues, this perk potentially becomes redundant, though is still available much earlier and for free.
