Campfire (Fallout: New Vegas)

“See? All it takes to make a recipe is the right ingredients and the right know-how.”— Sunny Smiles

A campfire is a world object in Fallout: New Vegas, serving the same purpose as the electric hot plate.

Overview[]

Campfires in the Mojave Wasteland are used to cook raw meats and to create a wide variety of medicines, chems, and poisons. Campfires are scattered around the wasteland and will usually be found surrounded by some form of benches or makeshift bedding. Around the campfire, one may find pots, pans, and other various cooking utensils. Campfires may be found lit or unlit, but they still all function the same way.
