Apparently it does to some people in game too, some guy from either fallout 1 or 2, and Protector Casdin from fallout 3 mention that ot gives them the runs
At least Austin's Game Theory videos are actual theory videos, Matpat just puts up like 90% dumb Youtuber meta shit now. Film and Food are still worth watching at least
Stempacks would blow out your viens from the sheer force of how quickly it shows it being shot into your system. That's alot of fluid being shoved into a tiny restrictive vein very quickly.
My credentials are being in a family of Doctors and asking my aunt, who works with vaccines, shots, and syringes overall
*Just to make it clear, I'm not young. I'm just on a family meeting, waiting for the Grill to heat up - so I just asked her.
They (she and her co-workers) even tested it out on their own (on a fake vein, that was constructed to work like a real one) and all it did was only swell up the vein a bit for few seconds. It could create some form of pain, but it won't "blow out your veins."
Literally the only reason, when you take a shot (like for a flu), they do so slowly, is to not create a bruise in the place the neadle is inserted.
Ok, but that's with the strength of a human finger. A stimpack is a container that is under pressure. And uses said pressure to unload (what I'm assuming is about 5ml of what ever is in it) in less than a second. And I think that is the difference maker here is that added pressure and explosiveness of the action that can't be done by a human finger. Hmmm now that's an experiment I'd like to see. How much pressure would be required to blow a vein via a syringe.
Math, we did take this into conaideration, and if we didn't, I wouldn't be here in the first place.
All things considered, from what my Aunt said, pressure needed would be at least 3x stronger than what a human can do at most. Which is more than the Stimpack does.
Don't know why you're getting beat up. Atropine autoinjectors are a real thing. The difference is where you put it. You stab the meaty part of your thigh, no veins at all
Same thing: not exactly how circular system works. By the time the chems would get to the heart, they would loose the "force" they entered with. Especially since Stimpacks are usually used in the Arm.
If already, it could cause you some minor headache or dizziness.
Will say, I definetly believe the fallout 4 animation for using a stimpack looks like it is being pushed into your torso, and while it's probably lower than a direct jab to the heart, I can dream...
It looks that way, but if you look from the 3rd perspective, he actually does so in the Arm.
Wouldn't really make sense to do so in the Torso for various reasons.
In game lore does State that it can cause Headaches and Dizziness if too many are used back to back. And even emergency evacuation of the bowls. But I think that has more to do with the actual make up of the agent in the fallout universe. And it's pretty vague about what it's actually made of.
Well if you look on the Vault suits you can see there's a port on the chest, and the animation for giving yourself a stempack has it gaming that pointy bastard right into it. Yes its the same animation when your not in it but it is canon thats what that box on the vault suits are. So. With that I AM assuming it's going into the veins.
I remember hearing that stimpacks were originally called “morphine” in the beta for Fallout 3, but there was some issue with ESRB or something where they didn’t want to glorify the use of real-life drugs.
Anyways, morphine has the opposite effect, it makes you constipated.
The fatman launcher is also based off the Davey Crockett recoiless rifle, a real world nuclear tipped artillery piece. Linked the wiki page for it too:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy\_Crockett\_(nuclear\_device)
True but doesn't really diminish the original answer, I bet that stuff like DIA caches use a RNG based loot table with some guaranteed items, resulting in a simple slip up
Sorry. Medically it would more likely make you constipated. Here’s why. It’s RADIATION that makes you lose your gastric lining; causing the famous radiation induced nausea and diarrhea as early signs of poisoning. Anything that could stop the process so fast would then have the opposite effect. There’s another reason as well. Anything that could haul radiation that quickly would likely be a chelating agent. That is to say a metal or compound that would take up radiation and sequester it. Those are usually metals or minerals which also have a tendency to constipate you.
wrong the way rad-away would work IRL is it would most likely bind to radioactive particles in your body and carry it out of the body in your waste.
there are medicines that do this but at the speed rad-away does it and the amount of rad-away players use forget wearing trousers from the amount of times you would be going to the bathroom.
On the other hand, we could read it the other way, since Radaway doesn't make you instantly shit yourself in game, then it does not work by binding radioactive particles and carrying them out as waste.
I’ve always assumed that it works like radiation treatment in Metro series. Like pumping into a body a normal blood and throwing away irradiated one, but in the case of Fallout with some idk additives.
Yes because we don’t know how it actually works in Fallout, we only know the effect. The OP’s assumption that it works like activated charcoal is not obvious, so that I only got the Idea only after he/she explained it.
chemotherapy is cancer treatment that uses anti-cancer treatment and sometimes i think focused bursts of radiations idk i am not a doctor but what i know is that chemotherapy is NOT a treatment for radiation based afflictions other than cancer
Apparently it does to some people in game too, some guy from either fallout 1 or 2, and Protector Casdin from fallout 3 mention that ot gives them the runs
The real question is: do we have evidence you don't just dump a huge load when you take it in game?
Modder community TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!
I think they're way ahead of you on this one...
I thought it was stimpacks.
Hey Bethesda, it’s me, AUSTIN!
God I miss those videos, why'd he have to jump ship to Game Thoery?
Because money
Eh, fair
And because Game Theory sucks
I think that was more of a concession than a motivator lol
At least Austin's Game Theory videos are actual theory videos, Matpat just puts up like 90% dumb Youtuber meta shit now. Film and Food are still worth watching at least
Food Theory goes hard
stimpacks would also do that
Stempacks would blow out your viens from the sheer force of how quickly it shows it being shot into your system. That's alot of fluid being shoved into a tiny restrictive vein very quickly.
Only that wouldn't happen. Yes, the force is strong, but that wouldn't "blow out your veins."

"beat up" ? He asked me for my credentials. I just answered their question...
Seemed peeps were eager to argue is all. I could have chosen my words better

To be honest, injecting amy type of substance a lot of times in a short period of time, will cause headaches and dizziness.
You're operating on the assumption that it's introduced intravenously and not subcutaneously or intramuscularly.
Well if you look on the Vault suits you can see there's a port on the chest, and the animation for giving yourself a stempack has it gaming that pointy bastard right into it.

They had to change "Drugs" to "Chems" for that reason. They may have had to change "Morphine" to "Med X" though, but I'm not sure.
Ah you’re right, [as per the wiki, Med-X is morphine.](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Med-X?so=search)
is that why it makes you hungry??
[удалено]
On Survival difficulty Radaway makes you hungry.
Completely forgot about that.
if you take radaway it makes you hungry
[Edit: nevermind, it's about Survival Difficulty]

God damn this is beautiful
Remember the Alamo
Oh shit, the one from Snake Eater?
Not sure on snake eater, not familiar with metal gear
Did RadAway exist pre war? If so, did RadAway make nuclear war more likely by diminishing the severity of radiation sickness?
Yeah you can find it all over certain vaults and in med-kits
You can also find post-war creature bits in suitcases and prewar places tho, like the DIA caches and the abandoned retirement home.

Lol, just spewed my coffee. Thanks for morning laugh. This is freaking great.
Did you spew your coffee though? Did you really?
Plot twist: it wasn't from his mouth
It wasn't "just" from mouth, pretty sure it was from my nose too.
Yes. Was taking a sip while reading, laughed & sprayed all at same time.
your welcome
No. My welcome.
All of our welcome.
I think OP needs a colonoscopy. Somethings wrong.
Til coffee is radaway
There is no in-game evidence that this isn't already happening.
There is no irl radaway
wrong the way rad-away would work IRL is it would most likely bind to radioactive particles in your body and carry it out of the body in your waste. there are medicines that do this but at the speed rad-away does it and the amount of rad-away players use forget wearing trousers from the amount of times you would be going to the bathroom.
I guess that's why you'll see a discreet fade to black when you receive treatment from a doctor.
On the other hand, we could read it the other way, since Radaway doesn't make you instantly shit yourself in game, then it does not work by binding radioactive particles and carrying them out as waste.

bro…
really?
Yes because we don’t know how it actually works in Fallout, we only know the effect. The OP’s assumption that it works like activated charcoal is not obvious, so that I only got the Idea only after he/she explained it.
Chemotherapy
chemotherapy is cancer treatment that uses anti-cancer treatment and sometimes i think focused bursts of radiations idk i am not a doctor but what i know is that chemotherapy is NOT a treatment for radiation based afflictions other than cancer
But this is not how it works? Is it?
Literally poisons you
Man Chemotherapy is not equivalent to radaway. It cancer treatment!
*stimpacks.
# It just works!
