A melon is a consumable in Fallout 4.

Characteristics

Melons can only be planted in dirt. They can be harvested for food to feed settlers. A settler must be assigned to the plant with the Workshop menu in order to grow and harvest the fruit. They appear like a cross between a watermelon and a pumpkin as far as the stem.

With the addition of the new Survival mode, they have become a highly useful consumable providing both water and food with each bite. Two melons, when eaten, will bring the Sole Survivor from "parched" and "peckish" back to a normal thirst and hunger level.

Locations

  • Melons can be purchased from multiple vendors across the Commonwealth.
  • It can also be harvested from the player character's planted melon patches and patches found in abandoned or owned farms.
  • Some can be found behind the house across the street from the Sole Survivor's house in Sanctuary Hills.
  • Several can be found in the Super Duper Mart in Lexington.
