Fallout: New Vegas Hints
Where can I get the food additive?
1 of 8: It's in Vault 22 (location 10 on the Zone 1 Map).
2 of 8: After killing the outdoor mantises and using the vault's overgrown entrance to get in, go through a door and down some stairs to find an elevator.
3 of 8: If your Repair skill is 50+, you can repair the elevator. Otherwise, you'll have to use the nearby stairs to reach the vault's lower levels.
4 of 8: On the Food Production level, go east from the elevator, watching for a spore carrier in the first bunch of plants.
5 of 8: Just before the next plant bunch, turn left and go through the nearby door.
6 of 8: Past the door, turn right and go down to where you can enter a small side room with a terminal on a table.
7 of 8: Look on the right side of the table for the jar of food additive.
8 of 8: Return to Farber and tell him about the spore pod extract you found.
