Grim Reaper's Sprint

Grim Reaper's Sprint is a perk in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Fallout: The Roleplaying Game and Fallout: The Board Game.

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas


A single rank perk that restores Action Points when killing an enemy in V.A.T.S. The amount of restored Action Points differs for each game.

Fallout 4 and Fallout 76


The perk got expanded to three ranks, and has been modified so that killing an enemy in V.A.T.S. is no longer guaranteed to restore Action Points. Instead, the perk grants a percent-based chance to restore all Action Points upon killing an enemy in V.A.T.S., with the percentage increasing with each rank.

Fallout: The Roleplaying Game


A perk that grants one additional roll, with a chance to restore Action Points if an Effect was rolled.

Fallout: The Board Game
A perk that grants one additional action when discarded.

Behind the scenes
Grim Reaper's Sprint was originally a fan-created perk and winner of the Fallout 10th Anniversary Contest in 2007, submitted by Marc-Andre Deslongchamps. Bethesda implemented the perk in Fallout 3, describing the idea as "elegant and simple" while affecting game mechanics in a unique way.
