“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.
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. This perk also works on food and the implant does not.
Fallout 4
“Your digestive tract has adjusted to the weirdness of the Wasteland! Take less radiation from eating or drinking.”— Rank 1 description
| Rank | Requirements | Description | Base ID |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | END 2 | Your digestive tract has adjusted to the weirdness of the Wasteland! Take less radiation from eating or drinking. | 0004A0B9 |
| 2 | END 2, LVL 8 | You take even less radiation from eating or drinking. | 00024B00 |
| 3 | END 2, LVL 20 | You take no radiation from eating or drinking. | 00024B01 |
Taking this perk on early may help out a lot as most manufactured food carries a lot of rads, and RadAway is scarce in the beginning. Conversely, this perk has little value for high-level characters because foods provides only a fixed amount of hitpoints (whereas Stimpaks restore a percentage). If you have two ranks of Solar Powered this perk is worth even less.
