In the Outer Worlds, players can explore the open world and find many consumables as they do so. Consumables are items that give players special effects upon use. Some consumables may boost player stats while others may cause a negative effect. There are many different kinds of consumables present all over Halcyon, on corpses, in rooms, storage containers as well as vendors.
The Outer Worlds Consumables
In this guide, we will provide information on all the consumables and their effects when used by a player! Players can use these consumables by either opening their inventory (which pauses the game so this is useful in combat) or pressing the appropriate key to use their Inhaler.
The inhaler can have up to 4 items slotted in it and upon use, it gives players the combined effect of all those items with the press of just one button. This is extremely handy in a pinch to gain some buffs as well as heal during combat.
In order to be able to slot extra items in your inhaler slot, you will first need to unlock those slots by investing skill points in the Medical tree under Tech. Having a medical skill level of 80 will unlock all 4 inhaler slots.
Below are all the various types of consumables in the game, the status effects they offer as well as the duration of the status effect.
