“With the Adamantium Skeleton perk, your limbs only receive 50% of the damage they normally would.”— In-game description
Adamantium Skeleton is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Effects[]
Taking this perk grants a 50% reduction in damage to one's limbs, lessening their chance to become crippled.
Notes[]
- The perk's effect does not reduce the limb damage from falling.
- The perk pairs well with Hit the Deck, Tough Guy and Tribal Wisdom.
- The perk also pairs well with the Small Frame trait, as it will completely negate Small Frame's negative effects.
- The perk does not pair well with Eye for Eye, as it becomes harder to cripple the limbs needed for that perk's damage boost.
- If one of the baby deathclaws is killed before the mother deathclaw at Quarry Junction, she will enter an "enraged" state which causes her to gain this perk, along with Better Criticals and a "Psycho" perk that grants her a 1.25x damage bonus similar to using the eponymous chem.
Behind the scenes[]
The perk's existence in the Fallout series pays homage to the Marvel Comics character Wolverine, who had his skeleton laced with adamantium, a metal stronger than steel which makes his bones effectively indestructible.
