This page lists all skill magazines in Fallout: New Vegas.

• The content is not described in full detail on this page. For details, please see the respective articles.
• For skill magazines in other Fallout games, please see "Skill magazine".
• For an overview of Fallout: New Vegas content, please refer to "Portal:Fallout: New Vegas."

General information

Skill magazines temporarily raise the corresponding skill by ten points (twenty with the Comprehension perk), but wear off after 1 minute (3 minutes with the Retention perk). True Police Stories is the only exception to this general rule, raising the "skill" (Critical Chance) by five points (ten with Comprehension). There are a total of 236 skill magazines placed in permanent locations, plus 63 in the add-ons (Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road). Certain merchants also sell them, providing a limitless source. Also, the magazine vending machines on the Strip provide random magazines the first time they are opened. Similar to chems, skill magazines are not stackable, therefore using two magazines will not result in double the skill increase.

Once added to the inventory, they appear in the "Aid" section of a player's Pip-Boy menu. In Fallout: New Vegas, reading a skill magazine for a combat skill can be used to boost the damage of weapons. With a +10, this translates into an increase of 5% base weapon damage. With a +20, this translates into an increase of 10% base weapon damage. See individual weapon pages for specific information. As an example, +10 Energy Weapons with a Gauss rifle will result in an additional 6 damage per shot. A +20 results in an additional 12.

Because weapons start off doing only 50% base damage (at skill 0), the actual relative % increase is much larger than 5 or 10%. Going from 10 to 30 Energy Weapons in the above Gauss rifle example is actually an 18% increase, for up to 6 minutes, non-additively.

Notes

• With the perk Voracious Reader, skill magazines already in the inventory can be copied at a workbench.
• The Logan's Loophole trait, by a quirk, causes skill magazine duration to double (2 minutes, 6 minutes with the Retention perk).
• Skill magazines will not take skills past the normal maximum of 100.
• True Police Stories, although counted as a skill magazine doesn't actually increase a skill.
