Patriot's Cookbook is a skill magazine in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

On the front is a red stamp administered by the pre-War Federal Bureau of Investigation, which claims that it is "banned material" and "to be burned" on February 11, 2069. Despite this, the magazine remained in wide circulation across the southwestern United States, being found across the Mojave and beyond.

The magazine offers articles on creating explosive devices for a variety of purposes, such as Abraxo based bombs and mailbox bombs.

Behind the scenes[]

The name of the book is inspired by the book The Anarchist Cookbook, which featured recipes for homemade explosives. Also like The Anarchist Cookbook, it was banned by the FBI for featuring many recipes for instructions to make explosives, poisons, illicit substances, performing electronic hacking and tapping, among many other techniques.
