Ok, so I know there's Luck, which gives +1% for each point.
Then there's Finesse that increases it with +5%.
Then there's that beret that gives an additional +5%.
Then if you have 9 or less in Luck you can upgrade your character with an implant to give +1%.
Then I found a temporary skill book which gave +5% (But only for a certain amount of time).
Then there's Laser Commander which gives +10% chance with laser weapons.
Then there's the Built To Destroy trait which gives +3% critical chance.

I'm playing an EW character where Critical % is very important.
Is there any other way to increase Critical %?
Challenge perks, quests perks, permanent items etc.

Currently I have 7 Luck, Finesse and the beret which gives me 17%.

if your using energy weapon then.. add sneak with you all the time...or try to sneak on enemy all the time... (well.. probalbly know already but..)


sneak crits is pretty good too.. and..

for EW (well this is not crits but.. ) there some really usefull mods .. such as for laser rifle i forgot what its called but that device divied laser into three so it triples the damage..

god..... im not really good.. hint giver...

Well Laser Rifle is kinda worthless when going against super mutants, fiends, radscorpiosn and cazadors.
Trying to find Gatling Laser.
I bet it's a beast with Laser Commander perk.

Keep in mind, that if this game holds true to the previous games rules: there's a cap to your %'s. I believe most of them are 85-95% Always a chance for failure. The PnP based off the programing script of FO 1 & 2 explains this.

There wasn't a critical chance cap in Fallout 3 and in fallout 1 and 2 most percents were capped at 95 or not at all. [in FO1 you could have 100% rad resistance]

Crit is nice for EW, but not anything to worry too much over. Almost all the crit multipliers are absolutely horrible compared to sniper rifles. gauss and the unique only have like 2x crit, while sniper rifles get x5. And they cost like half the AP gauss does and dont eat up 4 bullets a shot and... and... I do go on, don't I.

Some guns give huge boost to crit chance having multipliers to it, like Lucky revolver for example. Keep an eye for those.
Hitting head is typically an easy crit.
Hitting injured limbs is a good way too.
Sneak on target = 100% crit chance.
