Fixer can permanently remove addictions in an unpatched game.
Alternatively, a new chem called Fixer will provide temporary relief from the symptoms of withdrawal. However, addictions may be handled by paying a doctor to remove them or by using the Sink Auto-Doc with the Old World Blues add-on. A UMON value of 75 infers an addiction chance by 1%, and a value of 175 raises addiction chance to 100%. Fallout: New Vegas also makes use to the 'usage monitor' system (or UMON), which tracks successive uses of a chem and raises the chance of addiction in accordance. Addiction in Fallout: New Vegas works very similarly to addiction in Fallout 3 in that addiction does not go away after quitting cold turkey. See? Pretty addictive, right? You do it once, it just makes you want to do it more.Ī variety of new chems were introduced in Fallout: New Vegas.
