chemist backpack mod

[Ritchith]

how to get? and does anyone know if you can use it with high cap mod?

Finish gold bullion quest to unlock traders, and grow reputation with raiders, also minerva can sell it. And no, you cant put 2 mods, only one/backpack, but with 90% weigh reduction, you can carry a huge amount of chems in your inventory. There is a trick, just dont finish the gold bullion quest until you are ally with the two factions, and then make the heist.

^ what he said its 350 gold bullion once the rep is unlocked and cheaper when minerva sells it

Others have said the grocery backpack is better.
I made both.
I do carry food category stuff more than drugs.
Tested it.
You may want to try them too.
Happy grinding!!!

If you use a lot of stims and radaway the chemist mod is invaluable; so it's great for melee characters in particular.
Grocers backpack using veggie foods and the benefits you can get from brewable alcohols are massively beneficial to ranged combat. Meat is great for melee, too, but you can maintain the benefits far more easily with the salted luck perk (makes food last twice as long) and just keeping up with cooking. This is not as easy for ranged, and using stuff like the Perk Green Thumb can help a lot to get your stocks up for larger cook offs.
In addition to this I'll mention a very useful tip I've gleaned from the posters here, the Carnivore mutation serum will go best with a chem backpack for melee, and Herbivore mutation better for ranged and grocers backpack.
Obviously the game allows for a bunch of options so don't feel like you're forced to structure your build/mods a certain way; do what works for you, in the end it comes down to preference so long as you're able to both survive and contribute to public events - even then if you wanna play a HC no legendaries build or something else that sucks for events most players will still try to res you.

IMHO high capacity mod not worth.

Have them all and grocers is the one I use. As it turns out the cola nut perk makes you indestructible. Who knew?

Back. Off. My. Colas.
Those are for confectionery use, not war!

But their NUKA-Cola¿

[PotatoBasket]

Yes I cook all my meats in it, while I chew Cola Gum. I do use a good percentage of my cola to make explosives, but that is only to further enhance the delicious flavor profile of the mob corpses... Quite often they're candied upon death, it's fantastic.
Those with appreciation for a vampires weapon know you never need to drink a standard or quantum cola.
Especially the quantum. That's baby Nukashine, right there.

A reminder, while in PA you loose the benefits of the backpack ... . You will have to switch perk cards to not to be over weighted ... .

Yup, when you go in your shiny PA, you feel mighty, you feel powerfull, and when you see your carrying 1000 pounds of chems you feel pretty stupid xD
