Locations[]
- Loose chew

- Some can be stolen from the Mojave Outpost, inside the barracks on the shelf.
- Plants
- Westside has 27 plants - Eight in the planters in the easternmost part of the area just northeast of the north cistern and 15 in the planters east of the Westside Co-Op, ten in one planter and five in another. There are an additional four in the planters found outside the Westside west entrance.
- Four plants can be found at Wolfhorn ranch.
- Three can be found near Ranger Station Echo - One directly west of the tower structure while the other is very close to the half-way point between the station and Coyote Mines, just west of a water-filled crater. The third is found directly ahead of the second to the southwest, near a small, lone Joshua tree.
- Two can be found to the right of Raul's shack.
- Two can be found at Goodsprings - One at the wreckage between Victor's shack and the schoolhouse, one at the house between Doc Mitchell's house and the General store.
- One plant grows slightly northeast of the Primm water tower.

Notes[]
- Although consuming coyote tobacco chew itself is addictive, consuming black coffee, which includes it in its creation, is not.
- In one of Boone's endings, he communicates his thoughts to Legate Lanius by spitting tobacco chew into his eyes, in front of the Legion armies.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Coyote tobacco chew was named by Joshua Sawyer after an entry in the book Growing Food In the High Desert Country about coyote tobacco, or Nicotiana attenuata.[4]

Joshua Sawyer: "Because I believe it's wild... if I recall correctly. I got a book called, it's like "Farming
in the High Desert Country" and it talked about coyote tobacco specifically. And so rather than make people think it was like, convential tobacco... it's coyote tobacco. Grows wild."
