Formula Q is an unused consumable item in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wild Appalachia update.
Characteristics[]
Created as an alternative to Formula P (due to that drug's dangerous possible after-effects of "increased strength, feral behavior, mouth foaming, and death" in animals),[1] Formula Q is relatively safe to use.[2] It is claimed to be derived from natural ingredients.[3]
[clarification needed] While Formula Q cannot be obtained as an item under normal circumstances, it may be administered to animals by Quercus if the optional Retrieve ARIC-4's shutdown code objective is completed during Project Paradise.[3] It causes the creatures to fight hostile enemies instead of remaining passive, and heals them between rounds.
Though normally unobtainable, Formula Q grants +5 Charisma, +3 Luck when consumed, as well as improved gun accuracy for 5 minutes. It is functionally identical to Formula P aside from incurring no thirst and carrying no chance of addiction.
Crafting[]
Locations[]
Formula Q cannot be found in the game world. It would have been unlocked after learning its respective recipe, but this content was not made acquirable in-game.
Notes[]
Characters who had acquired Recipe: Formula Q by illegitimate means could consume it, which unlocked the ability to craft Formula Q without issue. The item functioned as described. It could be sold in player vending machines or dropped in the world like any normal consumable item.
- It required melon bloom (not melon blossom) to craft, which could once only be found as a very rare spawn in food containers (such as lunch boxes), or in the inventory of vendors. In 2023, the budding apothecary CAMP item was added, which spawns melon bloom quite regularly.
- The Chemist and Super Duper perk cards properly applied to its crafting, and the Chem Fiend perk card applied to its use.
- As of America's Playground, Formula Q has been removed from player inventories, and its recipe has been hidden from the crafting menu. This likely came after the budding apothecary item made the ultra-rare melon bloom far more common, leading to a rise in the production of the illegitimate chem.
