Glowing Blood pack: Pros and Cons?

[Xddc]

Glowing Blood packs increase radiation resistance for up to 75 percent for 8 minutes, are they better than Rad-X? I have anti chem addiction, the chemist perk, etc. But I want to know their basic Pros and Cons.

Blood packs are better spent making refreshing beverages. They remove all rads (with no weakness effects) and restore 5000 hit points. They weigh .5 each, but it is handy to have 1-2 carried for rad removal or one of those emergencies where you need health from both this and a stimpak.

I have 9 million health, but radiation can curb it to the triple digits real fast, I guess glowing blood packs do have use as an anti radiation medicine then if I'm reading this right.

Refreshing Beverage is the top shelf healing item you can make, so i agree Blood packs are better used to make those than Glowing Blood Packs, but it heals 500 hp not 5000. And it is nerfed a bit on Survival mode, but still insanely good for Survival, (it only removes 100 rads on Survival vs 1000 on "other difficulties").

The Glowing Blood Pack should be more compared with a Stimpack, as it is in all ways a "better" stimpack than the normal ones, healing base 40 % vs Stimpack 30 % AND giving Rad resistance. It is like a Stimpack and RadX in one, and on Survival it is easy to craft as in all you need is a Chemlab.

Stimpacks have increased effectiveness via the Medic Perk, The Glowing Blood Pack has increased effectiveness via the Chemist Perk, so Pro / Con depends on if you pick either of those Perks to begin with.

I will admit i dont use them much so i cannot tell / remember how they affect Hydration and such, but i will do some testing for sure as i also play with Chemist Perk on most my characters.
