The Underground Rebel's Guide to Practical Dissent
”— sloganThe Patriot's Cookbook is a skill magazine in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
On the front is a red stamp administered by the pre-War Federal Bureau of Investigation, which claims that it is "banned material" and "to be burned" on February 11th, 2069. The magazine offers articles on creating explosive devices for a variety of purposes, such as Abraxo based bombs and mailbox bombs. Given the banned nature of the material, it is hinted to have an anarchistic or communistic bent to it.
Reading this magazine raises your Explosives skill by 10 points (20 points with the Comprehension perk) for 60 seconds (180 seconds with Retention).
