Fire resistance

Fire Resistance allows you to resist fire. The higher your fire resistance, the less damage you incur from fire-based attacks, such as from fire ants, or from enemies using fire-based weapons like the flamer or heavy incinerator.

Fallout 3

 * The Ant Might or Ant Sight Perk can be acquired from Doctor Lesko during the course of the Fallout 3 quest Those!. Either perk grants +25% fire resistance.
 * Enclave Hellfire armor grants a +30% fire resistance and the Enclave Hellfire helmet a +5%.
 * Applying fire ant nectar will increase fire resistance by 25%.

If one has all three of the aforementioned flame-retardant abilities, the total will be 85% fire resistance, making enemies such as Enclave Hellfire troopers or fire ants little to no problem.

Bugs

 * The shishkebab is not affected by fire resistance.

Fallout: New Vegas

 * Applying fire ant nectar will increase fire resistance by 25%.
 * Using any of the gecko-backed armors, or the White Legs hide armor or outfit from Honest Hearts will increase fire resistance by 15%.
 * The Scorched Sierra power armor from Lonesome Road increases fire resistance by 25%.

Bugs

 * The shishkebab is not affected by fire resistance. The incendiary grenade, Dead Money ' s gas bomb, and Honest Hearts ' s fire bomb are affected by energy resistance where they should be affected by fire resistance.
