Contents Fallout 3While using V.A.T.S., the otherwise real-time combat is paused. Various actions cost, and the user can target specific body areas for attacks, inflicting specific injuries.When using V.A.T.S. Against a humanoid enemy, seven different areas can be targeted: the head, torso, left arm, right arm, currently held weapon, left leg, and right leg. However, there may be other points available when facing off non-humanoid creatures (e.g. Robot combat inhibitors, ant antennae).When targeting a part, the screen displays a percentage of how likely the attack will hit the targeted area based on distance from the target, visibility of the targeted body part, and combat skill. The percentage of a hit cannot be any higher than 95%, so there is a small 5% chance to actually miss. A higher percentage does not equate to more damage done; for example, an 95% hit to the head will not do more damage than a 80% hit to the head.
The readout also displays the overall condition of the body parts on the target. The bar will be empty when the limb has been crippled.V.A.T.S. Also displays a health meter indicating the target's overall health, as well as an indicator showing the amount of damage a V.A.T.S. Attack round using the character's current weapon will inflict. Note that the indicator shows the weapon's maximum non-critical potential damage that the weapon would do if the character's relevant combat skill (e.g. ) were at 100. If the character's combat skill is less than 100, they will do less real damage with each attack than what the V.A.T.S.
Indicator shows. On the other hand, achieving a critical hit (such as a ) can potentially produce more real damage than the indicator shows.There is a 15% boost in the chance for a critical hit in V.A.T.S. Mode, but weapons degrade at 4 times the regular rate.Unlike previous Fallout games, it is not possible to target the eyes or groin, nor target any individual body parts in and combat. However, one can still strike specific limbs without aiming for them, and still cripple and dismember enemies.
Also, unlike in the previous games, children cannot be targeted.Effects. This section is from. To change it, please.Although body part damage can be achieved through manual aiming, V.A.T.S.
Allows more effective targeting of particular body parts. The effects of crippling specific body parts are listed below. Crippling the head will reduce overall accuracy and (-4) of the target. If inflicted upon the, the screen will intermittently get fuzzy and a ring will be heard through the speakers, loosely simulating the effects of a concussion.
Crippling the torso will result in the target flinching far more often from shots than normal. This can also affect the player character, throwing off aim and interrupting attacks (even in V.A.T.S.). Crippling an arm will drastically reduce accuracy and may disarm the target if a weapon is held in the attached hand. This is particularly evident when using a scoped weapon, such as a.
The weapon itself is not destroyed, and the target can pick it up again or use another weapon from their inventory. A crippled right arm also reduces base melee damage done by 10% if wielding a one-handed weapon.
If wielding a two-handed weapon (or unarmed), one crippled arm reduces base damage done by 5%, two crippled arms reduce base damage done by 10%. Crippling a leg will result in impaired mobility. Creatures who rely on leaping attacks (e.g. ) will no longer be able to use them.
Crippling both of the player character's legs disables special melee and unarmed moves that are executed outside of V.A.T.S., such as or. Crippling the held weapon will ruin it and make it unusable, and/or send it flying out of the target's hand. Although the condition is zero and it cannot be used, it can still be collected and repaired, or used for repairs. The player character's weapon may be damaged by enemy fire as well.
If the weapon's depletes, it will be unequipped as opposed to flying out of the hands. If it is an explosive ordnance (like a ), it will explode, dealing its damage to the target holding it (and any others nearby). Grenades can be targeted by V.A.T.S. While in the air after being thrown as well.
If successfully hit on the fly, they will explode prematurely. Some enemies have alternate targets. Robots, insects, turrets, and certain others have special targetable parts that when crippled will push them into a where they stop discerning between friend and foe and attack indiscriminately.Crippling any body part will result in the target momentarily pausing to clutch the now crippled body part or reel from the injury.When using explosive and melee weapons specific body parts cannot be targeted while in V.A.T.S. The enemy is simply targeted as a whole.Related perksV.A.T.S. Is your friend.Notes. V.A.T.S. Is first introduced to the player character on their 10th birthday in upon receiving a.

V.A.T.S. Can be used to reveal enemies that normally would not be seen (like or enemies that are far away) by clicking the V.A.T.S. Button rapidly (or for consoles, simply holding down the V.A.T.S. Button) (also called V.A.T.S.
If there is a target nearby, V.A.T.S. Mode will be entered with the enemy targeted, pointing out their location. Doing this when going around corners in buildings and tunnels can give an edge against ambushing enemies as well.
Occasionally in large open spaces the opposite will happen: seeing a target but it will be too far away to target with V.A.T.S. Although invisible enemies can be targeted in V.A.T.S., no other actions can be taken, because all hit percentages for enemy body parts will remain at 0%, regardless of their proximity to the character. The player character receives only 10% of normal damage in V.A.T.S.; however, some weapons are still strong enough to instantly kill, such as the, and especially the. V.A.T.S.
Is very useful for melee and unarmed sneak attacks, as it seems to teleport the character to melee/unarmed range, whereas in free-aim it would be impossible to reach the target. It can also teleport characters up on to a ledge if V.A.T.S. Is started mid jump for an attack. Unless there is a 0% chance to hit, of course.
Also, interestingly, despite the entire body being highlighted in V.A.T.S. With a melee or unarmed weapon, the strike will actually hit the head when standing (noticeable because a melee kill from V.A.T.S. While standing will nearly always result in a decapitation) or the arm when sneaking. The character cannot move away or dodge while in V.A.T.S. Automatic weapons (assault rifles etc.) always shoot bursts of ammo in V.A.T.S.
Even if a target dies while reloading, the burst will still finish. V.A.T.S. Only slows time; it does not halt it completely. Therefore, targeted enemies may be able to move behind cover before getting to fire all queued shots. Characters allied to the player character can also move during a V.A.T.S. Sequence, which might cause friendly-fire incidents with ranged weapons in close-quarters combat.

Once a V.A.T.S. Sequence has been accepted, it cannot be canceled while the actions are being carried out, unless the target dies or is destroyed during the sequence. Mines cannot be used in V.A.T.S.; it will show a 0% chance to hit, no matter the proximity to the target. If a character is out of AP and unable to attack using V.A.T.S., one can still take advantage of it during battle. Simply activate V.A.T.S., select the target, then press and hold the left trigger (or whatever button was mapped for iron sights).
Exit V.A.T.S. While still holding the trigger and the iron sight will be aimed directly at the intended target. This works best for enemies that charge directly at the combatant, like melee-oriented enemies such as deathclaws, since a good number of shots can be squeezed off without having to adjust one's aim.
This can be used to one's own advantage at great range with very accurate weapons such as the Lincoln Repeater, where a head shot is almost guaranteed even when the probability of hitting in V.A.T.S. Is minuscule. Using shotguns in V.A.T.S. Can sometimes do minimal damage. Shotguns' damage uses a Spread Radius and thus, a certain amount of damage for each single part of the spread, for example: 8x6 - each part of the spread does 8 damage, but the damage is multiplied by the 6 parts of the spread, in V.A.T.S., sometimes it will cancel the spread and only do the base damage - in comparison to the example above, instead of doing 8x6 worth of damage, it will only do 8 points of damage, making a shotgun in V.A.T.S.

Enemies are less aggressively slowed down; while all enemies move slower in V.A.T.S., those not actively targeted are not slowed nearly as dramatically.Related perks.
BethesdaReleased nearly four years ago, Fallout: New Vegas was and still is an incredible RPG. Created by the hearts and minds that brought us Fallout 2, Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torment and many other legendary CRPGs, it should be no surprise to anyone that it's such a great game. Though the world and characters are very well-written, it still has it's limitations, being a Bethesda game released in the Gamebryo engine. Whilst its predecessor managed to do a commendatory job resurrecting the Fallout franchise and bringing it to the attention of the mainstream audience, it left some older fans in the cold.
That's where Fallout: New Vegas, an indirect sequel to Bethesda's take on the series, comes in. Rather than being developed by Bethesda employees, the reigns for development were handed over to Obsidian, some of the employees of which had worked on Fallout 2.

More PerksOne of the best gameplay ideas in Fallout New Vegas, perks, have been reverted back to becoming available every other level.

However, outside of a paltry few side conversations and a whole heaping of killing, companions basically act like your slave. Fixes this problem, giving Boone, Ed-E and others a life of their own. At the very least, they relax when you are shopping, smke cigarettes, sit down and talk, and at most they take on their own ambitions, leaving your group for short periods of time.

All in all, FOOK is a fantastic mod for Fallout New Vegas, and its scope and ambition put it squarely on top of this list as the best Fallout New Vegas mod available today. This post is part of the series: Fallout New Vegas Mods.
One of the hardest parts of Fallout: New Vegas is actually choosing what sort of character to play. There are so many basic archetypes to choose from and then there are almost infinite variations on exactly how you build your character that this game can be daunting to even start up. Here we have gathered up a bunch of basic character builds for the interested gamers to consult. Obviously we make no claims that these are “perfect” builds but they’re fairly well optimized to fit certain roles.We’ve tried to include a fair variety of builds for players to choose from when picking from these but it’s very unlikely we’ve thought of everything.
So just remember that the best build you can make in this game is the one you create especially for yourself. For example this writers’ personal build is something he jokingly refers to as “The Chatty Sniper” – it takes Small Frame, Trigger Discipline and Tags Guns, Sneak and Speech.There are a few things to note about the builds listed below:About laser builds: When making a laser using character it doesn’t necessarily require its own unique build.
You can simply have the lasers replace the weapons from almost any other build. So a sniper type could take Energy Weapons and use those as his sniping instruments. But it does help to give yourself Science to aid in recharging energy cells. Barter is also arguably more helpful than Repair since you won’t find many laser weapons early on so you want to have enough money to pay for repairs.Another important thing to take note of is Hardcore mode.
Take note that it isn’t actually all that difficult, merely a bit more complicated. The trick here is that you must always be aware of the various extra stats in this mode. Sleeping, eating and drinking are constantly required but making sure you have the supplies when you need them can be quite tricky.Lastly, be aware that you can always replace a suggested perk with a select few other perks: Swift Learner, Intense Training, Comprehension, Educated or Tag! The Perks listed are simply suggestions, and you can quite easily replace them with one of these. Also more than 15 of them are listed simply to show you which are suggested for the character build in question.Check out the rest of our Fallout: New Vegasguides right here: Melee WarriorA melee character is definitely a heck of a challenge in the Fallout games. Many of the enemies are stronger and more dangerous in melee than you are, so it’s a risk every time you get near them; also, Deathclaws. The hard part to a melee character is that you must wear light armor if you wish to close in on enemies fast enough that their guns won’t tear you to shreds but when forced into a heads up battle against multiple foes with guns light armor won’t help you too much.Playing this character can be somewhat difficult if you’re not good at the game.
You’re going to need to use strong weapons, target enemies vital points and then slice away at them. Since VATs only allows you to target the enemy in general you’ll need to do things manually. Aim for enemy limbs or their head when slicing away so as to hamper their ability to fight back.
There are nearly 20,000 mods for Fallout: New Vegas, featuring everything from small tweaks and aesthetic changes to additional quests and new characters to massive overhauls of the game's inner workings.

Adds a gym and welcomes you to strap on some gloves and trade punches with a series of opponents. While the modder jokingly claims to have added over a million lines of dialogue and 200+ hours of additional gameplay, it's really just an enjoyable way to punch the crap out of someone and get punched yourself.
Weapons of the New Millenia. Surely, someone would have gotten a few cars and trucks working in the post-apocalypse, right?
