You don't have time to aim for a targeted attack, because you attack faster than normal people. It costs you one less action point for guns and thrown weapons.— In-game description

Fast Shot is a trait in Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics.

Effects[]

This trait reduces the Action Point cost of all attacks by 1, but restricts the player from making Aimed Shots. Despite its description, in Fallout, it actually reduces the cost of all weapons, not just throwing and firearms. This was changed in later installments.

When combined with 10 Agility, "Bonus Rate of Fire", "Sniper" and a turbo plasma rifle, it gives the player 5 single-shot attacks per turn on average. Adding two ranks of "Action Boy/Action Girl" into the mix allows for 3 consecutive bursts with Big Guns.

Notes[]

In the demo, the Vault Boy image for this trait is used by the Small Guns skill. Its filename also says "AMDIDEXT" (apparently for "ambidextrous"), as though it could have been an opposite of the One Hander trait.
