* [[Booze-Based Buff]]: Alcohol boosts charisma and strength at a cost to intelligence, and like all chems there is a risk of getting addicted. The Party Boy/Party Girl perk in ''Broken Steel'' eliminates the withdrawal effects though.

* [[Boring but Practical]]: The hunting rifle (and especially its unique incarnation, Ol' Painless). Bolt action, ugly as sin. Will kill what you need dead, spare parts and ammo are staggeringly abundant. Until you get into the game's top-tier items it remains a workhorse gun for most encounters, and some players stand by Ol' Painless as one of the best guns in the game.

* [[Broken Aesop]]: ''The Pitt'' DLC was touted for its [[Gray and Gray Morality]]. The resolution involves {{spoiler|kidnapping a newborn baby from her parents to facilitate the success of [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilised|Wernher and the slaves]], or leaving her so her [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] parents can develop a cure for the radiation sickness specific to the Pitt}}. Both [[Not in This For Your Revolution|Wernher]] and [[Utopia Justifies the Means|Ashur]] have [[Misaimed Fandom]], at times.
** In the main game, we have Ronald Laren, who at worst is a [[Chivalrous Pervert]] who is at least trying to woo the clueless Sierra Petrovita into... erm... "opening up" instead of just making like a savage raider and raping her. He even will readily gun down raiders who threaten the little shanties in which they live. Helping him along with his quest to get in Sierra's pants is somehow karmically evil. On the other side, we have Angela Staley and Diego. Angela wants to woo the religiously chaste Diego who otherwise still has a liking to her. Finding some ant queen pheromones for Sierra to cause Diego's sexual instinct to overwhelm his inhibitions in an act that borders on [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)]] is somehow karmically good.
** [[Guide Dang It|If you can find it]], the Xuanlong Assault Rifle. A unique Chinese Assault Rifle, with an expanded magazine and jacked up stats. More than powerful enough to buzzsaw Raiders and Mutants apart.

** The Silenced 10mm Pistol. Easily repairable, plentiful ammo, and obtainable early on, if you need someone dead quickly and quietly without alerting every hostile in range during the early parts of the game, this comes in very handy.
