Empty syringes

Post by **Thenryb** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 7:15 am

I suppose this is not very important and I found a short discussion on adding empty syringes to the Capitol Wasteland in a pretty old thread. It seems like every first aid kit I open has those things which are worthless (except as Rock-it-Launcher ammo, since there are no broc flowers or xander roots) and very few stimpaks. It is getting so that opening a first aid kit is worth about as much as opening the safes which contain even crappier loot than I remember seeing from FO3.

There are broc flowers and xander roots EVERYWHERE. :)

I'd say making a stimpack from an empty syringe is pretty valuable compared to buying them for 75 - 150 caps or so.

You could just leave them in the kit if you don't want them.

It seems like you find more empty syringes because there ARE more empty syringes. They have a spawn chance of 75% with 2 items (each item has a 75% chance) and stimpaks only have 1 item at 75%. So they are indeed more common.

As for no Broc Flower or Xander root, I know for a fact there's quite a bit, comparable to roughly 1/2 the amount in the Mojave I believe.

I simply have not seen either in the Capitol Wasteland. I have seen crunchy mutfruits. I will just have to be more alert to their existence.

I mean, I just placed fewer of them.

Hint: broc flowers are found in groups and typically in open areas, at the top of many hills. Xander roots are found nestled up next to rock formations.

There is at least one Xander Root in a graveyard near a church somewhere too... I noticed it when i was working as a gravedigger making graves

Since my original post, I have found two broc flowers and one xander root. The rarity, or even the absence of such plants in the Capitol Wasteland, is to be expected. That being the case, those empty syringes will be left in the kits like bloatfly meat (virtually worthless in HC without prickly pear fruit) will be left for the buzzards.

I love collecting empty syringes, they weight very little so I see it as a small source of caps for little weight.

Well, it's been suggested to make Requiem for FWE mod... that would make them useful again for the chems.
