Talk:Turbo

CRAZY POWERFUL
it's not a minor slowdown... it's a bit like being a soldier in mass effect 2, prolly needs a mod to make it cost more or work less effectively!

What about its duration?

I disagree, enemies dont even miss while your in turbo, it basically just effects whether or not they can chase you and how easy it will be to aim at them effectively.

Energy Weapons work well this turbo, since guns and explosives drop quickly, while energy just keeps going

The duration is pathetically short, but you can always just use a dozen...

well if you want a really long duration, it is considered a statistic, so you can just type player.setav turbo 1 into the console. works for me, to bad you can't have higher values than one though.

Anyone know the duration with the fast Times usage Perk or with Chemist? or with them both? Nosferus 04:05, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Handy for Boomers
When trying to get to Nellis AFB, ditch your companions and pop a turbo just as you hear the mortars firing, then run like hell.

thats not mortars... its howitzers,then again i guess you wouldnt care much about what it is when your about to get blown to piecies.

Am I the only one that instantly thinks of a meme when they use this stuff?
I always think "VTEC HAS KICKED IN, YO!" when I use it. Ya'll? TestECull


 * I usually use it for fast melee attacks. In the middle of battle I'll drop my gun (literally drop it, I'll get it later), and pop some turbo with my fists out (preferably with a power fist or Love and Hate Equipped).

 * I love this idea. The fact that you actually drop the gun makes it even better. "Guns don't kill people. I do."--SushiSquid 12:16, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like you are in rage mode from doom.

Addiction?
Is there really an addiction to turbo? I took 13 in a row(for the challenge) and got no addiction at all...

There is. It's penalty is -2 Agility. I get it about every third time I use it, so you must be pretty lucky. 184.78.207.117 06:41, December 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I took it once and got hit with addiction. Granted, I was already taking jet, phsyco, and medex at the same time. Turbo was the last on I popped to get the fire gecko eggs for the thorn quests. Luckily I had a fixer which allowed me to overcome it but it seemed to glitch away on its own after a while (looking at my stats page.) --Drkkgt 18:52, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Turbo Diving
Searching flooded areas becomes a whole lot easier when you use Turbo because it makes your oxygen last longer.

You can boost this effect even further with drugs and clothing that increase your endurance, mainly Buffout.

This can be quite handy in certain areas if you don't have the Rebreather.

Addictive potential?
Okay, since patch 1.02, I have promptly become addicted every time I have used this junk. Is it really that potent, or am I experienceing a glitch? 75.94.78.21 01:26, February 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Either a glitch or you're very very unlucky. I can normally use 3-5 Turbo between addictions.

Can it be found in Dead Money?
As the above title reads I wonder if it is possible to get Turbo in the Dead Money DLC, if it is possible I'd love to know the locations. 'cause a friend of mine said he used it when escaping the vault to get some more time, but I can't remember any turbo locations myself. Those who don't have Dead Money and read this; All items are taken away from you like in the Fallout 3 DLCs, so you can't bring turbo from the wasteland. FieryWrath 12:44, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

I suppose if you really want to try it, there's the console codes... but that kinda takes the fun out of it 88.96.89.222 14:30, April 16, 2011 (UTC)]

Or you can take an insane amount of turbo to make it last through the whole DLC. i wonder how many that would take, hundreds? someone do the math Caligula668 06:34, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

And nowadays, there's the GRX implant - regular resupply of Turbo. 72.95.120.50 21:21, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

If you go inside a building while under the effect of turbo, the ball in the roulette (loading screen) will turn around slower
