	Fallout: New Vegas benefits Thrown weapons Throw rate (rate of fire) +30% faster penalties Thrown weapons have -25% range (velocity) base id 00164ed1

 

Loose Cannon is a Fallout: New Vegas trait.

EffectsEdit

Specifically, your attack speed is increased by 30%, and your Action Point consumption for thrown weapons is reduced by 30% as well, but you lose 25% of thrown weapon velocity, shortening the distance from which you can hit a target. One may compensate for this penalty by taking the Heave, Ho! perk later on. This trait does NOT affect V.A.T.S in any way (except a reduced AP cost).
