For an over of Med-X, see Med-X. |
Med-X is a chem in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
Med-X is a highly potent painkiller which when injected, makes the user impervious to pain to the degree that Damage Resistance is increased by 25%. This will last for four minutes, or 8 minutes with the Chemist perk, and 9 minutes with both the Chemist and Day Tripper perks. If the player character has the Logan's Loophole trait, the duration is increased to 13 minutes.
Besides providing the benefits of regular armor, the stealth suit Mk II in Old World Blues will automatically dispense Med-X every 2.5 in-game hours if the player character's health drops below 33% or if a limb's health drops below 25%. Therefore, player characters using the stealth suit can become addicted to Med-X in this way.
