Movement Speed
Information
Running Speed is an important stat to keep an eye out for, especially, if you want to run away from enemies, or catch them, as they are running away!
The default Running speed is 5 Hexes per second. The default Walking Speed is half of that, 2.5 Hexes per second.
There are not many things that can increase this value, though there are quite a few that decrease it!
Increasing Run Speed
Increasing this value semi-permanently is best done with a Leadership Boost. If the Leader has a Running Speed Implant, you can see an increase of almost 20% at 10 Charisma!
Two additional ways to increase this value are drugs.
- Voodoo increases the running speed of your character by almost exactly 1 Hex per second for 2 full minutes! Due to weird stacking, having a Running Speed Implant increases this number to a whopping 2.35 Hex per second, for a total of 7.35 Hex per second!! Just watch out, when your Voodoo runs out, you will be forced to walk for 30 seconds as a withdrawal effect!
- Blue Nuka Cola is much more "nuclear" - in that it doubles your Running Speed up to 10 Hexes per second! Voodoo does not increase this number, as it gets overwritten by the Blue Nuka Cola - but the Leadership Boost works, to achieve over 14 Hexes per second! Unlike Voodoo, Blue Nuka Cola is only active for 15 seconds however.
Some specific armors can also give a boost to your Running Speed, when specific conditions are met. For example, the Leather Jacket has the Run for Your Life perk, which gives you up to 50% decaying Runspeed over 10 seconds!
