Purified water (Fallout: New Vegas)

Purified water is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Purified water is water that has been purged of any radiation, making it one of the only "clean" sources of water in the wasteland. The effects of purified water are modified by the Survival skill; the higher your skill, the more Hit Point and Dehydration it will restore. When playing hardcore mode, purified water is a more "refreshing" drink than alcohol or soda.

Crafting
While there is no specific recipe for purified water, there are recipes for "cactus water" and "mass purified water", both of which produce purified water in different quantities from different components.


 * Cactus water


 * Mass purified water


 * Note: after crafting, the glass pitchers and surgical tubing are returned to the player's inventory and can be re-used.

Variants

 * Dirty water
 * Irradiated water
 * Rushing water (Lonesome Road add-on)

Locations
The Mojave Wasteland has multiple natural sources of pure, non-radioactive water, and as a result the player encounters clean water more often than in Fallout 3, where most of the water is radioactive.

Purified water can also be bought from several merchants, including the Kings member who guards the water pump in Freeside. The player can also fill empty bottles in The Sink with the Old World Blues add-on.
