“With the Fast Metabolism perk, you gain a 20% Health bonus when using Stimpaks.”— In-game description
Fast Metabolism is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Effects[]
Taking this perk grants a 20% bonus to the amount of health restored when using stimpaks. In Hardcore mode, the multiplier increases the amount of healing done per second, improving stimpaks as an in-combat healing option.
Notes[]
- The perk synergizes extremely well with the Chemist regular perk, Arcade Gannon's Better Healing companion perk, the Cardiac Arrest special perk , and a high Medicine skill.
- While useful during the early game when stimpaks are harder to come by, outside of Hardcore mode, a mid- to endgame character may be better served by simply applying multiple stimpaks.
