Ant meat is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

Ant meat is a type of meat scavenged from giant ant corpses. It can restore Hit Points and help stave off Starvation, but also imparts +3 radiation when consumed. Additionally, it temporarily lowers Strength by 1-3 points when playing on Hardcore mode. It is one of the few types of meat in the Mojave Wasteland that is not used in crafting other consumables.
