The Wasteland Survival Guide is a skill book in Fallout: New Vegas.

Contents

BackgroundEdit

Published by Moira Brown and possibly co-authored by the Lone Wanderer in 2277, the guide saw distribution throughout the wasteland by travelers. The book provides knowledge on how to survive the harsh wasteland. It became popular, as within a short 4 years, it had already reached as far as Nevada.

CharacteristicsEdit

Reading this book permanently increases the Courier's Survival skill by 3 points (4 with Comprehension).

CraftingEdit

With the add-on Old World Blues, this skill book can be crafted by the Courier.

Name Requirements Components
1 Wasteland Survival Guide
Note: the recipe is consumed as part of the crafting process - meaning only one book can be crafted.

LocationsEdit

Other than being crafted, the skill book can be found in the following locations.

NotesEdit

  • There are no additional copies to be found in the Dead Money, Honest Hearts or Old World Blues add-ons. The Courier can, however, craft an additional one in Old World Blues with blank books from the Book Chute, 2 Wonderglue, and the correct recipe.
  • It is substantially larger than most other skill books.
  • This version of the guide is different from the one that the Lone Wanderer owned.
  • Excluding add-ons, it's the only type of skill book that can be found in outdoor locations.
