Affects the Guns and Sneak Skills

Given that you are quick to adapt and have nimble fingers, you will have more skill points for guns and sneak as you increase your Agility. With these speedy qualities, you can leave an impression on the Mojave in the blink of an eye!

Increases Action Points

With quick reflexes comes faster conflict resolution with V.A.T.S.! As you increase your Agility, you will gain and regenerate more Action Points (AP) by 3. With more AP, you can line up more shots or hits during V.A.T.S., effectively showering your opponents with punishment.

Dictates Action Speed

Being attuned to your body allows you to perform three actions quicker as you increase your Agility. Being faster by just a fraction of a second can make a difference between surviving or succumbing to the Wasteland!

1. Weapon Draw = You can holster and draw your weapon faster.
2. Weapon Reload = You will need less time to wait after emptying a clip.
3. Movement Speed = You cover ground much faster.
