“Your heart has been replaced with advanced technologies: You cannot be poisoned, and filters in your heart will also regulate bleeding and healing, allowing all healing items (chems) to function at a higher level. Robots are now confused by you and 50% less likely to score a critical hit.”— Fallout: New Vegas description
Heartless is a special perk in the Fallout: New Vegas DLC Old World Blues.
Obtaining[edit]
In the initial dialogue with Doctor Klein as part of the quest Welcome to the Big Empty, the Courier finds out that their brain, heart and spine have been removed and replaced. This perk represents the replacement of their heart. While technically having these perks from the start of the add-on, they are unlocked in the course of the conversation.
Gameplay[edit]
Poison Immunity. Critical Chance -50% for Robots against the player. Consuming Stimpaks or Super Stimpaks grants an additional +10 HP. Consuming any healing item in the table below grants an additional +5 HP.
Affected Healing Items[edit]
Notes[edit]
- Since the Cloud in the Sierra Madre is corrosive and not poisonous, it will still hurt the Courier even with this perk.
- Heartless shares the same Vault Boy image as Cardiac Arrest.
- Cazadores, usually being very lethal creatures, become significantly less threatening even in swarms due to their damage primarily relying on poison. This makes battles with the Legendary Cazador and the later encountered Specimen 73 easier.
