“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
- Proton throwing axe
- Protonic inversal throwing axe
- Throwing hatchet
- Throwing knife
- Throwing spear
- Tomahawk
- 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.
Bugs[]
The throwing knife spear from Dead Money is not affected by this trait. [verified]
