Fallout – What does agility affect in Fallout New Vegas

fallout-new-vegas

I've read a lot of conflicting information about what the agility SPECIAL stat does in the game. The factors it affects I've read, of which some are almost certainly false are the following:

  • Total number of APs (Action points)
  • Regeneration rate of APs
  • Reloading speed
  • Running speed
  • Accuracy with weapons
  • Weapon spread

Is there any reliable data, maybe even quantitative, on what the effects of the agility stat really are? I could only find a lot of guesses, no hard data.

The list is mostly accurate, if somewhat misleading. Agility grants 3 AP per point, affects, draw speed and reloading speed of weapons, and increases your Guns skill, which affects their Accuracy and Spread.
