From frag grenades to throwing spears, you can throw weapons 30% faster at the cost of 25% less range— In-game description

Loose Cannon is a trait in Fallout: New Vegas.

Effects[]

Taking this trait grants a benefit of a 30% increase to attack speed when using thrown weapons, shortening the time between throws, and a penalty of a 25% decrease to velocity, decreasing the distance from which the weapon can be thrown and still cause damage to the target.

Affected weapons[]

Melee
Explosives

Notes[]

  • One may compensate for this trait's penalty to weapon velocity/range by taking the Heave, Ho! perk.
  • This trait does not affect the chance to hit in V.A.T.S. but rather how close one has to be to get a non-zero chance on an enemy.
  • This trait has a hidden benefit of lowering the AP cost of thrown weapons used in V.A.T.S by 30%.
  • This trait synergizes well with the Heavy Handed trait, due to it affecting throwing spears.
