Forum:Repellent Stick

This was added to the Talk page for the Repellent Stick, but I figured there's no harm in putting it here as well. Has anybody done any testing concerning using the repellent stick on radroaches? I was walking through the RobCo facility with it equipped and attacked some of the radroaches. The result was a smoking radroach that still attacked if I hindered its movement, but otherwise ran away at a quick pace. Eventually, the effect seemed to disappear and the roach returned to normal. This was all done on the PS3. Anyone care to back this up?173.107.207.79 19:06, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Look, as far as we know, and from what we can glean from the game and common sense. The one function of the Repellent Stick is to kill Mole Rats. Look on the quest page involved with the stick (Wasteland Survival Guide) or the stick's item page and you can clearly see this. Anything else is just a coincidence, or a glitch. Trust me on this, but feel free to post a video (non-embedded) on this page showing a demonstration of what happens, so we can further analyze this phenomenon.

Anyone with a shred of common sense could see that the stick's purpose was to kill Mole Rats, however, Moira admits that finding a new way to blow mole rats up was not her goal when making the stick. Who's to say warding off radroaches was not another unintended side effect? This was simply an interesting occurrence I had never witnessed before and was curious to see if anyone else had. Honestly, I don't care enough to post a video; I can live with never knowing the answer. My apologies if I have come across as aggressive in either of my messages, as that was not my intention.173.99.130.57 23:45, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Heh..."Agressive" doesn't even begin to describe it, mate. But anyway, if you didn't care about the answer, why post it? Good luck in the future with this though. Cheers.SoProTheyGoWoah 00:45, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
