“While Arcade is a companion, the player regains more health from all sources.”— In-game description
Better Healing is a companion perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Requirements[]
Gaining Arcade Gannon as a companion requires either:
- Having a Liked or better reputation with the Followers of the Apocalypse.
- This is best accomplished by completing High Times as well as Short-Term Treatment and Long-Term Care for Julie Farkas.
- Passing a 75 Speech skill check.
- Taking the Confirmed Bachelor perk.
- Having an Intelligence attribute of 3 or lower.
Note: Arcade will refuse to join the Courier if they already have or manage to gain an Accepted or better reputation with Caesar's Legion. He will also leave the party if ARCHIMEDES II is activated during That Lucky Old Sun or enough "history" demerits are accrued before triggering For Auld Lang Syne.
Effects[]
When Arcade Gannon is an active companion, the player character gains a 20% bonus to the amount of HP restored from consumables.
Notes[]
- The perk and Arcade will become permanently lost upon completing For Auld Lang Syne as Arcade will either enter the locked Remnants bunker or return to Freeside to await the Second Battle of Hoover Dam.
- The perk pairs well with the Fast Metabolism regular perk and the Cardiac Arrest special perk .
