The Courier, the player's character, was meant to deliver a package from Primm to New Vegas. The New California Republic plays a major part in the game's story, being in a three-way struggle amongst the Caesar's Legion slavers, and the mysterious Mr. One of the students got horribly sick because of that mistake.The story has taken some parts from the Fallout and Fallout 2 stories, and is for the most part unrelated to its predecessor, Fallout 3.įallout: New Vegas takes place in 2281, four years after the events of Fallout 3, and forty years after Fallout 2. Got it.'ĭoctor Duff: ' Remember, bring the gland back in one piece. ↑ The Sole Survivor: 'Get the Bloatfly Gland.So what do you say? Ready to go out and dissect one?' Radioactive adaptation has resulted in a unique gland that enables it to balance and maintain speed despite its size. You see, the oversized Bloatfly of today evolved from an earlier species of smaller fly. ↑ 3.0 3.1 The Sole Survivor: 'Sign me up.'ĭoctor Duff: ' You're going to go out, and find a Bloatfly Gland.↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 Enclave field research terminal entries Enclave field research terminal, Field Entry: 'Bloatfly'.An unused ammunition type called 'Bloatfly dart' is present in the games files, with the EditorID of 'AmmoBloasflyDart'.In a piece of concept art by Adam Adamowicz, the bloatfly is referred to as a 'shrieking blowfly.'.Bloatflies are one of the weakest creatures encountered in the wasteland, on par with radroaches and trog fledglings.The Enclave outpost near Megaton has been studying bloatflies among creatures native to the region.However, this much damage to the creature's head will typically result in its death. If a bloatfly's brain is crippled, it will frenzy.When undisturbed, bloatflies will occasionally lower themselves to the ground and dart around for several seconds.On death, they make a high-pitched chattering noise.Their wings make a soft clicking noise, similar to a giant ant's movement, but fainter.Bloatflies can also be found between Fort Independence and Fairfax ruins, on the hillside near a collapsed overpass highway.Bloatflies can be found in large number, northeast of Reclining Groves Resort Homes, where they feed off the corpses of some dead wastelanders.A large group of bloatflies can be found throughout the entrance area of Vault 92.Bloatflies are found throughout the wasteland, but they are most commonly found in areas nearest to where barrels of toxic material seeps into the soil.They have a slow speed of pursuit, making it easy to escape from. However, due to their fast and erratic movement as well as small size, compared to other denizens of the wastes, bloatflies are a challenge to shoot without V.A.T.S. Their carapaces are not particularly effective as a protection against any type of weapon. Individually, they do not inflict much damage, but in swarms, bloatflies can be a moderate threat to low- level player characters (especially companions). The gland itself may be toxic to consume. It adapted to its enlarged size with a unique gland that enables it to balance and maintain speed despite its size. Bloatflies can resort to scavenging in situations where prey or other sources of sustenance are scarce.

As a result, the bloatfly serves as prey rather than predator among wastelanders who utilize its meat for food. Its neurotoxin is ineffective against humans and larger targets, causing only localized necrosis. These latch onto the target and deliver a neurotoxin capable of incapacitating larger prey, allowing the bloatfly and its larvae to feed. The stinger is capable of launching mature larvae with a barbed sting at the end. Instead, it uses its engorged stinger and pupae gestating within its abdomen to incapacitate prey. Its size inhibits previous flight characteristics and agility, making it impossible to feed like pre-War horse flies did. The standard bloatfly has a green and brown carapace and is significantly larger and more tenacious than its predecessors. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.
