Perception and Melee in VATs

Post » Fri Dec 11, 2015 8:02 am

Hi All,

I am looking to do a second playthrough as a melee/unarmed charatcer so busy thinking of my starting SPECIAL stats.

I have one part which I am a little unsure of:

Perception states increases accuracy of weapons in VATS. Does this cover accuracy of melee weapons as well? Or only ranged weapons.

I have done numerous searches and not found an answer.

Thanks.

I don't think you ever need to worry about accuracy in VATS with mêlée weapons.

Pretty sure it affects any VATS attack, whether armed or unarmed. Of course you'll be wanting to put most points into STR, END, AGIL (for Ninja perk)

Yes this. In range it's 95..out of range is 0

There is a perk that increases range...Blitz I believe

No it is 95% until it goes down to 0% at the edge of the range, the Blitz perk under agility 9 increases this range, not perseption.

Thanks for the quick replies all!!

My first playthrough was a Sneak/Sniper build on Survival mode ended up 1 shotting everything at mid 40's with gauss rifle.

Want to try a drunk boxer/melee char this time around...just go around picking fights :P
