Carnivore is a mutation in Fallout 76.

Overview[edit]

Positive effects
Eating meat provides double hunger satisfaction, HP restoration, and consumable buffs, with no disease chance.
Negative effects
Eating vegetable-based food does not satisfy hunger, restore HP, or apply buffs.

Notes[edit]

  • Gaining this mutation locks the Herbivore mutation from being acquired.
  • The bonuses from Carnivore can be increased from x2.0 to x2.5 by equipping the Strange In Numbers perk card.
  • Buffs from food affected by both this mutation and the Strange In Numbers perk may have non-integer values. They get rounded up to the nearest whole number in the inventory, but are depicted correctly under the "Effects" section in the Pip-Boy's "Stats" menu.
  • The Carnivore Serum can be used to gain this mutation instantly and will suppress the negative effect.
