Cutting fluid

 

Cutting fluid is a junk item in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.

CharacteristicsEdit

A lubricant and coolant used in metalworking. It is an oil-based fluid that is contained in a small rust-coated steel oil can.

Cutting fluid can be broken down into three vials of oil and a piece of steel.

It allows the player character a productive avenue for oil, a resource that is commonly used in defense and weapon modifications.

NotesEdit

The game script will scrap three existing units of cutting fluid in a player's inventory to generate the required steel, leaving the player with two less than what they began with. However, the extra oil is not used in the process.
