Buying Health Pipes

[FaZe chaewonfan]

My dude is addicted to health pipes, so how exactly do I buy them in stores?

[Mahasamatman]

There are no stores, but if you see someone selling them, just kill him and take the pipe or take the pipe and run away.

In case this isn't a troll post, let me 'splain you how health pipes work: They give you 125 hP, then the adiction effect takes away 25 HP, and then you're fine, you have fully detoxed and are no longer addicted.
To buy health pipes, find a health pipe salesman and stand in line until he's clear, then walk up to him until he starts talking. Your money should be automatcly selected, then press E or Enter to pay.

Why on earth would you pay?

Okay, so where exactly do I find these guys? On the street or some shady place?

There's a salesman neer your house, one at the mall, one in the building next to the bank, and one between the mall and the parking garage. That I know of. (they stand still and other NPCs will walk up to them and give them money)
Look for yellowish signs that read "health pipes 4 sale"

On Monday you can get quite a few because they are so cheap, and also an Saturday.

I wouldn't really recommending buying them past Tuesday, they like, go up $100 in price every passing day (at least that's how I remember), and there's plenty of them to find just exploring Paradise anyway.

That's like finding a candybar with a note next to it saying "please leave 1€. Now on sale: only 20 cents"


Just because it's cheap doesn't mean you should buy it, WHEN YOU CAN LITERALLY TAKE IT FOR ABSOLUTELY FREE

I'm not sure if this also works for health pipes, but if you see a bystander buy something from a vendor, you can then follow them out of the "store" and kill them outside. They will then drop whatever they bought without panicking the vendor.

Edit: can now confirm they drop health pipes.

I like to stock up on healing items, sue me.
I have never completed an RPG without 99 of each health item at the end of the game. :P

If you kill him, then you can't go back and buy the pipes from him again, right?

[B Dawg]

You can, if you leave the area and come back.

Not cats, you have to recollect all the cats you might have gotten. I learned this the hard way.
