Stealth Boy

First time out of the vault
not really a help topic, I realize, but just curious; does the stealth boy even have a purpose, and, if so, what is said purpose?
 
if you turn it on, no one can see you but in fallout 1 by the time you get one you should be able to annialate all that step in your path anyways...
 
If you use the stealth boy, is it impossible to detect you? You said that it increases the sneak ability, but by how much?
Sorry if these are stupid questions, but i never really used the stealth boy in any of the Fallouts nor did i pay any attention to what increases it made to my stealth ability which i used very rarely.
 
I don't know by how much your sneak skill goes up. i've talked anout that with some guy from the original F team, he said some 50-60, this could possibly be wrong, since I don't remember correctly, this number is in my head, I don't know why :)

one thing is for sure, Steal Boy does not give you invincibility.

Wear it, use it and stand in front of a Super Mutant, he'll detect you after some time. I know, because it happened to me, I also thought that they can't see you with stealth boy
 
Thanks Miroslav. That's all i really needed to know.
That it wouldn't ultimitly protect me from everything before i went and did something stupid.
But still, 50 or 60 is a fair increase.
 
i remember using the stealth boy to run past the mutants in the last vault and set off the bomb.... at least i think i do...hehe
 
i dont know why it was left out in FO2 but i found my stealthboy on my way to shady sands :lol: but about the time i got to the hub it ran outta energy.... but then i slaughtered the brotherhood soon and i got 5 stealthboys outta there boxes in there storage room :) then i got 4 more at the cathedral :)
 
I remember in F2 there was 1 mention of the stealthboy.
On the ghost quest at the den, there is a diologe option to say something like this. "I think you have your stealthboy up to high mam" or something.

I found the stealthboy on my may to shady sands aswell, Did you find it in a giant footstep?
 
Is it impossible to make a mod or a plant it in a patch, that replaces some item with the stealth boy? And as I remember cheater mod is using one item that is not used in FO2 and ironically it could be the stealth boy item :)
If you like to combat sneaking, you definitely need to try it on...
 
If you do like me and get to the master VERY quickly (level 10 or under) then you MUST get a stealth boy. Keep it on in 1 slot and yer best weapon in the other. That way, you seem 2 get a better armour class. (basicly youre hard 2 see, there fore hard 2 hit) that worked 4 me anyway.

My advise for fallout 1, take the glow test as SOON as you can.
That, or go and do the quest in the hub were U rescue the initaite held prisoner so U can get T-51 easly, THEN go to the glow.
 
Yeah, the BOS bastards are stiff. If you could edit the game itself and well stash Power armor say.. in Junk Town, hell, that would be a feat, but it wouldn't be fun playing Fallout if nothing could hurt you....
