A pair of sturdy rubber work boots. They'll keep the sludge out, at least for a while.— In-game description

Rubber boots are miscellaneous items in Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics and Van Buren.

Characteristics[]

The old wading boots enable the player to traverse toxic puddles without harm until the boots eventually melt, though they offer no protection against electrically charged floors. There is a 1% chance that the boots will dissolve and be removed from the player's inventory upon stepping into a toxic puddle, with no notification provided to alert the player of this occurrence.

Locations[]

Fallout 2[]

  • Two pairs of boots can be found in "Guns" in Trapper Town in Klamath.
  • A pair can be found in a locker in the toxic caves in Klamath.
  • Smiley has a pair that can be stolen from him. Though one might want to consider stealing them, as he will need them in the toxic caves.
  • A pair can be dug up from the Den's graveyard.
  • A pair can be found in a hotel (building directly west from the Professor's lab) at Broken Hills Residential, in a leftmost locker in a room closest to the entrance.
  • A pair can be found in Ethyl Wright's room at New Reno East Side, in a dresser to the right of the door.
  • A pair can be found in the dresser, near the center of the south wall of the New Reno Arms basement.

Fallout Tactics[]

Notes[]

In Fallout 2, the boots help greatly in the toxic caves, where puddles of waste are plentiful.
