Locations[edit]
- Field Testing - Quest reward for recruiting Colin Putnam
Notes[edit]
- Affected by the Grounded mutation.
- Slain enemies may turn to goo piles. Enemies finished by a critical hit will always turn into goo.
- Anything killed by plasma weapons has a chance to drop Nuclear Material on death. This chance increases if the target has been melted to goo.
