Hey early risers! Enjoy a +2 to each of your SPECIAL attributes from 6 am to 12 pm, but suffer -1 from 6 pm to 6 am when you're not at your best.— In-game description

Early Bird is a trait in the Fallout: New Vegas DLC Old World Blues.

Gameplay[edit]

From 6AM to 12PM, you gain +2 to all SPECIAL stats but from 6PM to 6AM, you suffer -1 to all SPECIAL stats. It is somewhat mitigated by the Night Person perk, which grants +1 to INT and PER at night, and synergizes extremely well with Solar Powered (+2 Strength while outdoors during daytime).

Notes[edit]

  • Combined with Claustrophobia, being outside from 6AM to 12PM increase each SPECIAL stat by +3, while being inside from 6PM to 6AM reduces each SPECIAL stat by -2.
  • Outside of Hardcore Mode, keeping the +2 SPECIAL stat bonuses active is trivially easy, as one can wait until morning in most locations without penalty.
