Meat jerky

Meat jerky is a type of food in Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics.

Fallout 2
The jerky can not be consumed - nothing happens when the item is used in the inventory. It can be used as bait for Geckos, allowing you to avoid being attacked or to leave them vulnerable. You can also feed it to the dog running around Klamath to get the key to the Rat Caves.

Fallout 2

 * A large amount can be bought from the Dunton brothers, Buck and Chuck.
