Is there no RAD counter?

[Limouzine]

I mean, sure I have a red meter on my HP bar and sure I have a geiger counter on my pipboy.

But is there no RAD counter of some sort? I'd want to know the exact amount of RADs I accumulated and the RAD meter and geiger counter only give me an estimate of how much RADs I got.

I checked the STATUS screen and there was no RAD counter there. I just want to know the exact number of RADs I got before I use a radaway. So I know I won't be wasting one.

Sure there is, it takes a little math....so...well for the majority of the steam community there isn't, I change my answer.

lol, simple math is beyond some people.

No, there is no exact rad count.

However, Radaway (and stimpacks, for health) heal your radiation by a percentage. So if you can visualize 20% of your health bar, which I believe is the default Radaway heal, you're set.

Precisely, accurate calculations rely on precision, and that's exactly what he's asking for.

OP, anytime you want to check, bring down the console and input "player.getav rads".

Think there's a mod on nexus that shows hp and rad numbers

It's common knowledge that 1 + 1 actually equals 3.

It's on your pip boy.

The geiger counter needle on the right isn't for the world. It's for how radioactive YOU are. Because Video Games UI logic.

Just add a zero to the number on the meter and that's basically how many RADS you got.

As for "wasting" Rad aways? They work on a percentage, like stimpacks.

30% by default without the medic perk. So a rad away will always clear 300, AKA "1/3 your meter"

EDIT: I'm not going to make fun of you for not realizing your geiger counter isn't supposed to be used like a literal geiger counter. It's a bit of a "I'm used to video games" logic leap if you don't skim the help files (I THINK it's in there, somewhere).

But stims and rad aways always do 1/3 your bar by default. So that's how I estimated if it was wasteful or not before I learned that about the geiger counter.

On your pipboy in the lower right is a Rad meter. It has a few lines on it with numbers. These numbers represent, In hundreds, how many rads you have. If you see the line between 1 and 2, you have taken between 100 and 200 rads, however there is no EXACT way of seeing how many rads you have, but you can figure it out.

Well knowing that each number on my geiger counter represents a hundred value, that helps me dictate how much RADs I have now. Even if I don't know the exact number.
