True Police Stories

True Police Stories is a skill magazine in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
The magazine is dedicated to "true" pulp stories, such as "Shoot to Kill", "Shootout with A Chem-Crazy Dame" and "Eight Bullets, Ten Crooks".

Characteristics
Reading this magazine raises your critical chance by 5% (10% with the Comprehension perk) for 60 seconds (180 seconds with Retention).

Locations




Interestingly, True Police Stories is not included in any levelled lists or merchant inventories, save a single list in Dead Money, NVDLC01ClutterMagazineValue25, which is only referenced in a handful of metal boxes and a single garbage can within the add-on. As such, it can only be found in pre-placed locations.

Behind the scenes

 * Based on the model name, magsguns, True Police Stories was originally intended to temporarily increase Small Guns, but since Fallout: New Vegas combined Big Guns and Small Guns into just Guns the effect was changed to increase Critical Chance.
 * The cover is a copy of the DVD jacket for Dick Tracy, Detective (1945.) flipped and modified to look like a magazine cover.
