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.
