Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, and Van Buren[edit | edit source]
“Each level of Action Boy/Girl gives you an additional AP to spend every combat turn. You can use these generic APs on any task.”— Fallout 2 In-game description
In Fallout and Fallout 2, the counter only shows up to 10 Action Points, but internally keeps track of any extras. In Fallout Tactics all APs are shown properly.
In Fallout 2, if Agility is an odd number, it is more advantageous to take Gain Agility before or instead of taking Action Boy/Girl, as the former will confer an additional action point as well as the other benefits of higher Agility.
Fallout 3[edit | edit source]
“With the Action Boy perk, you gain an additional 25 Action Points to use in V.A.T.S.”— In-game description
The Action Boy/Action Girl perk grants an additional 25 Action Points to use in V.A.T.S. This is sometimes used as a substitute for a high Agility rating, and is helpful for characters who rely on V.A.T.S. rather than real-time combat.
Bugs[edit | edit source]
The loading screen "tip" incorrectly lists Action Boy's effect as +20AP.[verified]
Fallout: New Vegas[edit | edit source]
See also: Math Wrath
The Action Boy/Action Girl perk grants an additional 15 Action Points to use in V.A.T.S. mode. Compared to the Fallout 3 version of this perk, it awards 10 fewer action points per rank, but two ranks exist instead of one.
Fallout 4[edit | edit source]
“There's no time to waste! Action Points regenerate 25% faster.”— Rank 1 description

The perk icon is based on Superman as the costumes are highly similar. Furthermore, the glasses are a reference to Clark Kent, Superman's alter ego.
