Dialogue[]
| SPECIAL Stat | Cost | Recovery Time | Description | PC Reaction (After Surgery) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | 2,000 bottle caps | 3 Weeks (21 days) | "That's easy to do but there's a long recovery time. It only costs 2000 scripts but takes 3 weeks to heal." | You can already tell the difference. |
| Perception | 4,000 bottle caps | 1 Week (7 days) | "Now that's a difficult operation. It costs 4000 scripts, but the recovery from this operation is only a week." | All of your senses feel much sharper. |
| Endurance | 3,000 bottle caps | 1 Week (7 days) | "This one's not that difficult. It takes about a week and will cost 3000 scripts." | You feel great! |
| Intelligence | 6,000 (3000 if INT < 4) bottle caps | 3 Weeks (21 days) | "This is the most complex and dangerous! It'll take 3 weeks and costs 6000 scripts." | It's as if the pathways of your thoughts have direct links to everywhere in your head and your memories are much crisper. |
| Agility | 5,000 bottle caps | 3 Weeks (21 days) | "This isn't that tough of an operation but it is very costly and time consuming. It will take 3 weeks and cost 5000 scripts." | You flex your muscles and can feel the increased speed and control. |
Notes[]
- If one has an Intelligence of 3 or lower, they will get 50% off the Intelligence implant, bringing it down to 3000 bottle caps. However, this does not prevent a low Intelligence Vault Dweller from taking Mentats, receiving the normal surgery first, and then receiving the surgery. Nor does it prevent a normal character from receiving both surgeries by taking lots of Psycho, or by waiting for Mentat withdrawal or its addiction for the second surgery.
- One cannot have an implant operation if their SPECIAL stat is at max for the corresponding implant surgery.
- One cannot get an implant for their Charisma and Luck skills.
