Rapid Reload is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Gameplay[edit]
Rapid Reload grants 25% reduction to reload speed with all weapons. This effect also applies to switching from different ammunition types.
The effect is multiplicative with the reload speed reduction granted by points of Agility. With an Agility of 10 and the Rapid Reload perk, reload speed would be 87.5% (1.25 * 1.50) faster rather than 75% (1.25 + 1.50).
Reload Time[edit]
Below is the example reload time for the Gauss Rifle depending on the player's Agility and if they have the Rapid Reload perk:
| Agility | Without RR | With RR |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.88 sec. | 3.10 sec. |
| 5 | 2.33 sec. | 1.86 sec. |
| 10 | 1.55 sec. | 1.24 sec. |
Notes[edit]
The perk image shows Vault Boy reloading a .44 Magnum Revolver with a speedloader.
Bugs[edit]
Might randomly stop having an effect, slowing down reload speed to normal. This usually happens after reloading a save and can be restored by changing weapons.
