List of Contents

Is Fast Shot Worth It?

Best Trait for DPS

Fast Shot is in the S-Tier since it is a complete damage boost for all weapons that utilize this perk. Fast Shot excels with close-range accurate weapons with low fire rates. Examples such as pistols and hunting rifles turn even more deadly when paired with this perk.

Fast Shot also reduces AP costs for V.A.T.S. at the cost of accuracy. Getting that extra shot in can make the difference!
