Snakebite Tourniquet - cuts off the venom, no need to scavenge glands and blood. Or drink that mess.Ulysses

The snakebite tourniquet is a consumable item in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Background[]

The snakebite tourniquet was a creation of the Twisted Hairs tribe, who used it as a quicker and more efficient way to treat venomous wounds than standard antivenom. In fact, the ability to craft a tourniquet was one reason for the tribe's cultivation of their signature dreadlocks, as the thick strands of hair provided viable material for wrapping wounds and cutting off venom.[1] The same effect can be accomplished using other materials, like surgical tubing.

Characteristics[]

The snakebite tourniquet is a way of treating all kinds of venoms quickly by rubbing ground buffalo gourd seeds in the wound while using the tubing to tie off the limb to inoculate against further poisoning. If the player character possesses a tourniquet when they become poisoned by an animal, the tourniquet will be automatically applied to counter the poison.

Crafting[]

This item can be crafted by the player character.

Snakebite tourniquet (1)

Locations[]

Two can be found in the footlocker near the canyon wreckage after completing the story of Lonesome Road. Ulysses (if spared) will also provide some when asked.

Notes[]

This item is available for crafting even before the add-on is activated or completed. This helps make tourniquets a decent alternative to standard antivenom, due to having a lower skill requirement to craft and the needed components for the former being more common than the latter.

Bugs[]

PCPC Xbox 360Xbox 360 When poisoned by a venomous tunneler, your supply of tourniquets will be automatically used up one after the other, even though the first one used stops the poison. This will continue until you either run out of tourniquets or drop them all, after which it is safe for you to pick them back up. [verified]

    Ulysses: "Antivenom's helpful around the Mojave with the Bark Scorpions. Even one sting can kill you. Tunneler bite can be just as bad. My tribe, Twisted Hairs, had a better way than Antivenom, if you act fast. Snakebite Tourniquet - cuts off the venom, no need to scavenge glands and blood. Or drink that mess. Part of the reason we wore our hair like we did, like I do now. Here's some for the road - trick to making it's not hard. Get bit, hook and twist it. Fast as blinking, doesn't give poison time to sink in."
