I stood about 20 yards from an NPC. Pulled up VATS. Wrote down all the targetting percents with both a 9mm pistol and 10mm pistol. Leveled up and stood in the exact same spot, bought the gunslinger perk. Reopened VATS-- same exact numbers??

What the hell? The perk says SIGNIFICANTLY. If it doesn't even move a single tenths place it's far from sginificant.

Game has been out how long now and this stuff is broken?!?

Maybe dont use VATS? Its not very good.....get a good gun and shot them. :gun: Plus I wouldn't waste a perk on something like that....I have learned that this game is always glitching....

The problem is that VATS doesn't work at longer ranges. It's been like this since FO3, and I suspect it's by design. If you were closer, you'd probably see more of a difference. IIRC it's something like an extra 10% chance to hit, but I'm not sure.

Oh ya, don't use VATS, and don't use perks.


Brilliant idea, and one I'm probably going to be taking up as I reinstall dragon age or mass effect 2.

This game is more buggy/broken then when it was first released. Completely inexcusable.

Yah and they need to fix these damn glitches to because they can be annoying!

i dont know why you would use VATS for anything other than close range fighting. Seems like a somewhat useless perk to me.

I never get VATS related perks.

According to the Wikia:

This perk affects all one-handed Small Guns and Energy Weapons. It does not affect any other types of weapons.

■This perk replaces the One Hander trait from previous Fallout games.
This perk does not work in the current 1.1.035 version of the PC game.

^^^^^

I only ever use VATS to occasionally line up a shot when it's a frantic firefight situation or otherwise sighting a target that is among brush/shrubbery.

Ignoring the VATS-related perks just makes it even easier for me to decide which perks to go with, anyway.
