“With the Chemist perk, any chems you take last twice as long.”— In-game description
Chemist is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Effects[]
Taking this perk grants a 100% increase in the duration of the effects from using various chems.
Affected items[]
- All consumables with timed effects.
- Skill magazines
- Stealth Boys
Implant GRX
Notes[]
- While the perk's name suggests it only applies to the effects of chems, it actually affects all aid items and consumables with timed effects, such as food that heals over time or magazines that increase skills for a certain period of time.
- The perk can be beneficial in Hardcore mode since it effectively doubles the recovery effect from all consumables due to increasing their effect timers.
- The perk pairs nicely with Chem Resistant and/or Logan's Loophole, as well as with the Fast Times, Day Tripper, and Whiskey Rose perks.
