Day Tripper is a consumable item in Fallout 76.

Background[]

Main article: Day Tripper

A mild pre-War hallucinogenic drug, Day Tripper (stylized as Daytripper) was favored by Americans looking for a happy escape from reality. The resulting high made users more laid back and relaxed, though the tranquilizing effect made physical tasks more difficult to accomplish.[1] It was an acceptable tradeoff for consumers looking for "happiness in a bottle."[2] Due to the psychoactive effect,[3] it was used to manage symptoms of PTSD, such as those suffered by Anchorage campaign veterans upon return to civilian life.[4]

As a recreational drug, it was quite popular among all social groups in pre-War America. It helped society cope with the strain of the Sino-American War, food riots and general dissolution of society across the nation.[Non-game 1] The drug was popular across social strata, taken by conspiracy theorists,[5] CIT students,[6] and regular married couples alike.[7]

It remained popular for the same reason after the War,[8] though overindulging to cope with the reality of the wasteland is known to cause actual hallucinations.[9][10][11] It could also be reliably mixed with other drugs without killing the user, though doing so exacerbated the risk of addiction and its severity.[12]

Characteristics[]

Day Tripper comes in a green bottle, with flowers and the word "Daytripper" printed on the label. Day Tripper increases the user's Charisma and Luck by three points while decreasing Strength by two points for 10 minutes. It also increases dehydration by 3%, and has a 15% chance of causing an addiction.

Non-game

  1. Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook p.167: "A mild pre-War relaxant and hallucinogen, Day Tripper was favored by Americans seeking a brief escape from reality. The resulting high made users more laid-back and relaxed, while also making them less inclined to exert themselves physically. It was popular amongst many social groups during the stresses of the Great War, food riots, and general societal problems in the years before the bombs fell."
