Radroach meat is a food item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

The meat is the whole abdomen of a radroach. Since radroaches appear less frequently in Fallout: New Vegas than in Fallout 3, radroach meat is more difficult to find. It restores a small number of hit points, but gives a high dose of radiation, in addition to a -1 penalty to Strength.

Notes[]

Irradiated radroach

Within the game files exists a version of radroach meat that gives 18 rads instead of the normal 10. It was supposed to be dropped by the irradiated radroach, but by cutting the creature from the game, this variant of the meat was cut as well.
