Characteristics

Giant rat meat is the raw filleted meat of giant rats, and should not be confused with rat meat. It is one of the few meats in the Mojave Wasteland that is not used in crafting other consumables.

Locations

• It can often be looted from giant rat corpses.
• It can be found in the Broc Flower Cave.
• In some parts of the New Vegas Sewers, most notably in the East central sewers.
• In Cerulean Robotics located in Freeside.
• In and around Camp Guardian.

Notes

• Two children can be seen chasing a giant rat around Freeside. Though they never catch the rat on their own, they will gather around and noisily devour chunks of meat from it should the player kill it. Nevertheless, giant rat meat can still be found in the dead rat's inventory.
