While using Guns and Energy Weapons, you fire 20% more quickly but your shots are 20% less accurate.

Fast Shot is a trait in Fallout: New Vegas.

Effects[]

Taking this trait grants a benefit of a 20% increase to the fire rate for all firearms (both Guns and Energy Weapons) as well as a 20% decrease to the AP cost when shooting in V.A.T.S. and a penalty of a 20% increase to weapon spread and 20% decrease to accuracy when shooting in V.A.T.S.

Notes[]

  • Automatic weapons are not affected by this trait's fire rate bonus.
  • The accuracy penalty can be completely negated by taking the Gunslinger and Commando perks, (0.8 x 1.25 = 1). Note that this trait will reduce maximum accuracy in V.A.T.S. to 76% (not the case on PC).
  • The effects of this trait and Trigger Discipline work against each other. Fast Shot multiplies attack speed by 1.2 and accuracy by 0.8, while Trigger Discipline multiplies attack speed by 0.8 and accuracy by 1.2 - effectively ending up with a 4% (= 100% - (100% * 0.8 * 1.2)) decrease of both accuracy and attack speed if both traits are taken simultaneously.
