Overdrive is a consumable item in Fallout 4.

Characteristics

Overdrive is a syringe with two vials attached to it. It enhances the user's damage output by 25% and also grants the user a 25% critical hit chance per attack. Taking this chem is one of two ways to critically hit outside of V.A.T.S. or without a full critical meter; the other is rank four of the Basher perk. These extra critical hits also do not empty the critical meter as is the case with "normal" critical hits.

Locations

• Can be crafted at any chemistry station.
• Occasionally found in chem boxes.
• Rarely found on feral ghouls.
• Goodneighbor, sold by Fred Allen in Hotel Rexford.
• Can occasionally be bought with tickets at the Nuka-Cade in Nuka-Town USA.

Notes

• Although Overdrive is made from Psycho, it has its own addiction which gives -1 Agility and -1 Strength. This is unlike, for instance, Jet Fuel which gives addiction to all Jet chems.
• Critical damage inflicted with the use of Overdrive is affected by the Better Criticals perk.
• Overdrive's +25 Critical Chance effect applies both inside and outside of V.A.T.S.
