Legion Playthrew how to fix broken limbs
The Legion doesn't use advanced medical stuff, so I'm not either. That means I can't use a Doctors bag or Hydra to fix my limbs so is there another way or a mod I can get that is more "natural" according to the Legion?

Daturana, healing poultice, and the weapon binding ritual. All of them are from Honest Hearts so you may need to limp until you visit Zion.

PFL beat me to it.

I don't think the Legion is against using Doctors Bags. You can get some from the Legion dropbox. Which requires positive rep with the Legion. But yeah they definitely don't use Hydra because of it's addictive qualities.

Healing Poultice is far superior to stimpacks, change my mind!
It effectively combines a stimpack with Hydra without risk of addiction. :steamhappy:

Use Hydra. The Legion developed it themselves.

Due to the Legion's disapproval of using modern medicine, some Legionaries attempted to develop a different means to help them heal damaged limbs. To do that, they combined cave fungus, nightstalker blood and the poison from a radscorpion poison gland with antivenom before use.

Those boxes can also contain stimpaks, iirc. I believe it's implied when the player is told about the supply cache that much of what's left there is of no use to the Legion and is being given to them because they don't necessarily operate within the same rules, but I could be mistaken.

That said, I have no idea whether doctor's bags are forbidden. I don't recall them being confiscated when entering the Fort, though it's entirely possible I've just never noticed. And I'm almost certain hydra is confiscated (despite being developed by the Legion, as mentioned above), so I'm not entirely sure that's the most reliable indicator either. I suppose it's possible that, although they developed hydra, they later forbade it due to its addictive properties. But I think it's at least as likely that it's confiscated simply due to how the item is classified within the game.

A doctor's bag for 'fixing' mangled limbs is literally just the stuff needed to set and splint it without doing more damage. That's why the limb uncripples but is still in terrible condition.

Another method, though, is a VERY long sleep in a bed. A full 24 hour sleep will usually take care of it.

In normal mode, a doctor's bag heals all limbs completely. Even in hardcore, a doctor's bag will heal a single limb completely (or all limbs for what looks to be around 20%).

There are plenty of doctors you can visit.
Also, I felt Siri at the fort should've been able to heal crippled limbs or hand out healing poultice.
Heck, even if you need to teach her how to make healing poultice first.

She is supposedly a "medic" for Legionairies...
Hydra

It's a mix created by the legion that is made out of cave fungus, nightstalker blood and radscorpion poison glands.

It acts as an anesthetic that slowly restores limb condition.

It is even used by the NCR.

It is addictive however, but the legion has no choice since traditional pain killers are prohibited.
