Fallout 3 Hints

Repellent Stick

  • 1 of 4: This unique weapon is unlike any other weapon.
  • 2 of 4: See the misc. quest "The Wasteland Survival Guide" to learn how to get and use the stick.
  • 3 of 4: One of its coolest features is that its condition never degrades. Too bad it doesn't do much damage per whack to anything except mole rats.
  • 4 of 4: NOTE: It can make radroaches run away from you for awhile, but that's not much help, since it's easier to just kill them quickly and be done with them.
