Guns

Guns is a Fallout: New Vegas skill. It is the successor to the small guns skill of previous Fallout games, though it has inherited some weapons which would have previously been categorized under big guns (such as miniguns, but not missile launchers or gatling lasers). The skill determines your accuracy with every kind of slugthrower and firearm, from pistols and rifles to beastly miniguns.

With higher Guns skill the player will be more accurate, and have reduced sway with the larger rifles.


 * $$\text{Initial level}=2+(2\times\text{Agility})+\left\lceil\frac{\text{Luck}}{2}\right\rceil$$

Example: A starting Agility of 5 and Luck of 5.


 * $$2+(2\times5)+\left\lceil\frac{5}{2}\right\rceil=15$$

Appearances
