Can we throw grenades and VATS?

Post » Mon Nov 30, 2015 10:37 pm

Um... Hi guys. My first post here.

Been a fan of Fallout for a while now, played quite a bit of FO3.

Just started playing FO4. A few things confuse me. I can't seem to use VATS to throw a grenade. I assume this functionality was removed in favor of manual throwing? Yes I know the Demolitions perk allows you to shoot grenade out of midair (I don't yet have it) but it doesn't say anything about throwing them using VATS.

So I'm right in thinking that this isn't a function anymore? Probably because VATS doesn't pause the game and for a grenade to land anywhere more or less accurately it has to lead the target?

Any help is appreciated.

Yes, you can't throw grenades in VATS anymore. IIRC it's explained in one of those tutorial screen popups.

I'm honestly ok with it not being a part of VATS. It makes you work on your aim and timing

Then why does the Demolition Expert Perk under rank 4 read:

  • Rank 4: Your explosives now do double damage. Mines and grenades shot in V.A.T.S explode for double damage, too.

Someone said if you pop the grenade hold the button then go into vats it will throw it.

I am also trying to figure out how you "shoot" a mine in VATS

I guess I will just need to work towards the perk and find out

The point of VATS was actually not to force people to be action gamers...

Maybe that has something to do with shooting at mines and grenades?

Nope, because someone thought it would be a great idea to put the grenade and melee on the same button.
