Hi all,
I hope there is someone who is familiar with this game.

I've been playing it a while and there is a place where I need to use a Stealth Boy. I opened a safe early in the game and got a Stealth Boy but I can't for the life of me figure out how to use it. I've checked in my inventory and it doesn't appear anywhere but I know I got one at the abandoned school house where I first started out.

I've searched an on line manual (buying it from Steam doesn't seem to include one) and I can't find out how to equip or use the Stealth Boy.

I'm confused????

I found this, which might be of help. Apparently it's considered to be a consumable item.

On another page of the Wiki it says this:

Thanks, Marian

Did that work, Oldman?

oldman, the Stealth Boys will show-up under the "Aid" tab of your inventory, you click on it to activate. They aren't equipped like a piece of gear, as the wiki entry that Marian sighted, they are a consumable and used pretty much like a chem.

Thank you Marion and Trail. I thought I had looked through my entire inventory for the cotton picking thing but I obviously missed the aid tab. To my surprise I had more than one there as I pick up everything I can find along the way and hitting take all is my default.

Anyway problem solved and thank you again very much. Now I'll finish sneaking into the gun place.

Have fun.
