Itty bitty F2 tidbit

[Nimrod]

I don't know if this counts as a bug or an exploit, but I haven't seen it covered in any of the walkthroughs or guides, so I thought I'd report it.

This concerns Dr. Henry's quest to test the anti-mutagen serum. If you get into combat with a supermutant, kill him, and have enough AP left over before combat ends, you can use the serum on the dead body and complete the quest. This can be used in the NCR if you fight Lenny since the hypo doesn't get taken away when you enter the ring, meaning you can complete the quest quickly without leaving town or needing to kill any friendly supermutants. The only quirk is you don't get the toxic meltdown animation.

I'm not even sure this counts as a tidbit. Might be more of a tid.

Well, my guide mentions you can use it on someone in combat and then kill them for xp before the melting effect happens.

Moved to gameplay.

This is very true. I mentioned it mainly for the bit about Lenny. Using it on him in combat got me stuck in the ring a la the boxing ring in New Reno. However using it on him after he's dead but before the combat ends doesn't get you stuck.

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
