pipboy statuseffects details?

Post » Fri Dec 11, 2015 6:35 am

So this is probably just me being dumb or failing to read the menus closely enough, but if I am in the Status screen of the pipboy and see little icons that show that I am under the effects of something (chems, sickness, fancy food, whatever), how can I see the details of what those little icons actually mean? I've seen other people mention that you can switch the view in this screen to see those "Effects" details, but I keep not being able to figure it out.

I'm on Xbox by the way, if it matters in terms of button labels.

Look along the bottom of the screen while looking at your stats page. If there is an active effect that isn't from an equipped item, there will be an option to switch the display to see what the effects are. The easiest way to do this is to take a Radaway or a Stimpack from that screen. An icon will appear on the side of the screen, and the controls list at the bottom will update to show the command to view active effects. Unfortunately, I'm on PC, so I don't k ow what the button is on a controller, but it's the Q key on the PC.

Thank you! I just suffer from lower menu/button option blindness, apparently. Will try this out next time I play.
