Day Tripper is a challenge and perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

Challenge requirements[]

Consume addictive chems.— Challenge description

The Courier must obtain and use 25 addictive chems.note

Applicable chems[]

Effects[]

You've done enough chems to know how to hang on to the effects just a while longer. More specifically, ingested chems last 33% longer than they normally would.— Perk description.

Gaining this perk grants a 33% increase to the duration of effects for all chems and food consumables.

Notes[]

  • ^ note Despite the challenge description only including chems, drinking types of alcohol that can cause alcohol addiction will also count for the challenge.
  • The challenge is not repeatable; completing it causes it to be replaced by I Can Stop Any Time I Want in the Pip-Boy.
  • The perk pairs well with the Chemist perk and the Logan's Loophole trait as their stacked effects are multiplicative.
  • The increased duration of healing items does not show up in the list of effects for the items on the Pip-Boy.
  • The perk also affects Stealth Boy duration, so combining this perk, Chemist, Logan's Loophole, and the Stealth Girl companion perk from Lily Bowen significantly increases the duration of the Sneak bonus and stealth field up to approximately 10 hours in-game (20 minutes real-time).

Behind the scenes[]

The challenge and perk name are a reference to the 1965 song "Day Tripper" by John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles.
