Implant Y-7 is an implant perk in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Background[]
The implant was developed by Dr. Calis, who found it increases performance while reducing weight in lab animals. Despite not having run it through any human test trials yet, he suggests it to technician Slough,[1] who has been gaining weight from constant snacking on Fancy Lads Snack Cakes, Sugar Bombs, Dandy Boy Apples, and junk food that he has stashed in six locations.[2][3]
Obtaining[]
The implant must be purchased from the Sink Auto-Doc for 20,000 caps, which requires finding and installing both its Sink Project: Auto-Doc personality module, found in the Y-17 medical facility, and the Auto-Doc Upgrade: Implant Y-7 module from reading Slough's terminal in the X-13 research facility.[1]
Effects[]
In addition to the food item's regular effects, this perk grants two bonuses when consuming food items consecutively:

Notes[]
- Multiple units of the same food type can be used consecutively to restore AP; either hot-keyed, or via the Items screen of the Pip-Boy.
- The perk only restores expended AP. It does not increase the maximum AP count, and AP gained from eating food cannot exceed the maximum AP.
- AP can be restored to the current maximum, which includes any bonuses to max AP from items such as Mushroom Cloud, Sugar Bombs, trail mix, Battle Brew, Nuka-Cola Quantum, Nuka-Cola Victory, Rocket, any variant of Jet, and wearing General Oliver's uniform, Armor of the 87th Tribe, or the Courier duster "Fighting Chance" (Legion variant).
- Using Rebound grants an automatic AP regeneration rate of +5 every 1 second that can narrowly outdo the perk's effects via this method, though it does come with the risk of suffering addiction.
- The bonus amounts are not scaled by the player character's Survival or Medicine skills.
- The perk is useful for completing the Desert Survivalist challenge.
- The perk description says the implant is designed to help lose weight, however, this is not seen in-game and is purely for flavor.
Behind the scenes[]
The perk image is the same icon used for the RobCo processor widget, a quest item in Fallout 3, as well as that of all other implant perks and Implant GRX in Old World Blues. It is also the only perk image in Fallout: New Vegas to be missing Vault Boy or Vault Girl.

I've noticed your work has taken a dive lately. This seems to have coincided with a marked weight gain over the past few months. I've developed an implant which has been proven to increase performance while reducing weight in lab animals. Granted, we haven't run it through any human test trials yet, but I'm sure it is perfectly safe. Also, please refrain from snacking in the lab. If you smudge another camera, I'm banning all food from the facility.

Chayanov had me run through the first part of the facility to test the tripwires and proximity mines the other day and the suit kept chafing. Mori says some new firmware updates fixed the suit's fitment sync ability, but I'm not so sure. The legs kept binding up on me and the torso was ridiculously tight. Maybe I should stop lifting Fancy Lads from Slough's stashes.

Adds the Main Computer Upgrade: K9000 Mod "Mentat Chow" to the player's Pip-Boy.While Slough is busy stuffing his face and trying to find new places to hide his junk food from Calis, I've decided to experiment with a mod from one of the techs over in X-8. I may not have been able to afford a doctorate like those eggheads upstairs, but I've been programming since I was in diapers. I found a ton of redundancies and exponential loop failures those halfwits must have missed. My fixes should speed up the refire rate of that K9 weapon they've been working on. Maybe if I leave it on their desks it'll actually get implemented. Lord knows they wouldn't take me seriously if I tried to take credit.
