With the Fast Metabolism perk, you gain a 20% Health bonus when using Stimpaks.— In-game description

Fast Metabolism is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

Effects[]

Taking this perk grants a 20% bonus to the amount of health restored when using stimpaks. In Hardcore mode, the multiplier increases the amount of healing done per second, improving stimpaks as an in-combat healing option.

Notes[]

  • The perk synergizes extremely well with the Chemist regular perk, Arcade Gannon's Better Healing companion perk, the Cardiac Arrest special perk Old World Blues (add-on), and a high Medicine skill.
  • While useful during the early game when stimpaks are harder to come by, outside of Hardcore mode, a mid- to endgame character may be better served by simply applying multiple stimpaks.
