Background[edit | edit source]
Buffout is a highly advanced steroid that was popularized before the Great War by professional athletes and their clandestine use of the drug.[1] Lucy claims that treatment for rickets (a common childhood disease) can be made through an extract of Buffout.[2]
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Buffout is a consumable performance-enhancing drug that boosts both Strength and Endurance, in addition to a health increase of 60 HP. After about ten minutes the chem wears off and drains 60 HP from the current total; if having less than 60 HP, the total health will be reduced to 1.
Addiction can occur and can only be removed by a visit to a doctor or by using the detox function at My First Laboratory, if the Lone Wanderer has purchased it for their house. It carries a 10% Addiction rate.
Locations[edit | edit source]
Although many vendors will have one or two doses, significant quantities of Buffout are sold by:
