“Initially dismissed as wildlife adapting to a new environment, this mutation was noted by scouting parties, but was not considered worth pursuing. Later discussion suggested that a serum based on this mutation could prove beneficial to military personnel deployed in the field for long periods of time. Early trials resulted in subjects presenting a total rejection of any meat-based foodstuffs, to the point that the scent of cooked or raw meat resulted in immediate vomiting. Note: early trials showed mild psychological effects in addition to physical; subjects presented a calm, docile demeanor, ultimately deemed.”— The Whitespring bunker terminal entries
Herbivore is a mutation in Fallout 76.
Overview[]
- Positive effects
- Consuming fruit, herb or vegetable-based food/drink provides double the hunger/thirst satisfaction, HP restoration and consumable buffs, with no disease chance.
- Negative effects
- Eating meat-based food does not satisfy hunger, restore HP or apply buffs.
Notes[]
- Gaining this mutation locks the Carnivore mutation from being acquired.
- The bonuses from Herbivore change from x2.0 to x2.5 by equipping the Strange in Numbers perk card.
- Herbivore serum can be used to gain this mutation instantly and will suppress the negative effect.
- Spoiled fruit and spoiled vegetables will still grant diseases. This can be greatly mitigated with Iron Stomach.
