BARTERING
The Barter screen allows you to trade, buy or sell items. The prices you get for buying or selling
depend on your Barter skill. The menu controls are the same for as for Containers (previous page).
To Barter, simply select an item and
Left Click to move it from your inventory into the other
person’s (if you want to sell or trade one of your own items) or from the other person’s inventory into
your own (if you want to buy or trade for one of their items).
As items are moved back and forth, caps (bottle caps are the currency of Fallout) will also be auto-
matically moved between both parties. This is represented by the large “caps” arrow in the middle.
If the arrow is darkened, it means one of you doesn’t have enough caps to complete the transaction.
You cannot accept the barter if you don’t have enough caps. But you can accept it if the other person
doesn’t have enough, but at this point, you are giving items away for free.
CONTAINERS
Containers include things like dead bodies, desks, boxes, lockers, and more. To see what’s inside
a container, direct your Crosshair over the object and press
E. If the rollover text is red, someone
else owns the container, and taking anything from the container is stealing, and a crime if you are
detected.
Your inventory is displayed on the left, the container’s is on the right. You can switch between the two
lists using your
mouse. Use the Right/Left arrow keys or Left Click on the arrows next
to the container name
to filter the lists (All, Weapons, Apparel, Aid, Misc, Ammo).
You can take things from the container, or move them from your inventory into the container, by
selecting an item in either list and
Left Click. Scroll up and down in lists with the Mouse
Wheel or Up/Down arrow keys.
Press
A to take everything from a container.
X closes the container.
Warning! Don’t leave things in containers you don’t own!
They may not be there when you come back for
them!

THE UNAPPETIZING TRUTH
CONSIDER THE SOURCE OF YOUR FOOD
You may have heard rumors that the Wasteland will have no safe food or drink. This is so much bunk.
Science shows fresh produce and safe water will be available. However, you will likely encounter
the need to eat irradiated food like raw chunks of two-headed Brahmin meat. And, in your darkest of
moments, when all options are spent, you may shamefully choose to eat the flesh of your own kind.
