Forum:What are poisons for?

First of all i want to ask why are there poisons in the game if they just hurt ur character. Can u use them on other characters?

You apply them to a Melee or Unarmed weapon and they do damage over time to the opponent after you hit them. Draw the weapon, go into Aid screen on the Pip Boy, click on the poison and it will ask you if you want to apply it to the weapon. I think it works best on throwing spears at the torso in VATS. If you miss, you waste it. GRPeng 03:44, October 24, 2011 (UTC)
