Why is VATS accuracy so low even with max skills/stats

[(>♡.♡)>]

Ive got guns 100, agility 10, and the strength to use my guns. Ive tried all different types of guns and none of them can hit reliably past like 20 feet.

Im currently standing about 30 feet from a person with a service rifle, and a torso shot is only 51%, head shot 13%.

Im getting sick of this cause in fallout 3 and 4 I use VATS exclusively with no problems.

is the condition of your guns low?

[(>♡.♡)>]

Condition of the guns are fine.

Get perks that increase VATS accuracy. VATS isn’t OP right out the gate like with Fallout 3 and 4.

[(>♡.♡)>]

when do those show up?

[MannsOverMeta]

Pretty early actually. The perk for one handed weapons appears at level 6, two handed weapons at level 8. Later perks can improve VATS further by reducing AP costs, increasing AP regeneration, or giving and increase in hit chance to specific body parts.
Also, perception doesn’t affect VATS like it does in 4, just so you aren’t confused. It is needed for some good VATS perks though.

Pretty weird. I took the vats perks pretty early on. I only use them in those, mexican standoff moments. Otherwise its pretty inaccurate. Guess I just builded my guy wrong at the beginning.

[Grendalcat]

Normally I use VATS only for fairly close range, such as inside buildings and under 20 feet outside. It is terrible for long distance sniping, I can usually score hits much farther away with manual aiming than VATS.

You do have to be careful at point-blank range though. If the target is too close, even 95% hits can miss. Possibly the barrel end is beyond the target.

[Vassago Rain]

You need the concentrated fire perk to make VATS useful, but it's never gonna be the nonsense it is in falloutscrolls.

Howdy,
Y'know I used to wonder the same thing myself... even with excellent condition weapons and "all the right moves" it used to throw off sometimes. Especially with moving, or charging targets... until one day I was chatting with a friend who has served in the military, and seen action, he said to me, and I quote, "It's one thing to nail the targets on a practice range but when it's a real honest-to-God person coming at you, things get a little screwy" - now I just treat it as "reality".

No help I know but just my humble opinion.
Cheers,
T

What?

[MannsOverMeta]

Bethesda’s Fallouts are more in the style of Elder Scrolls than the original Fallouts. Hence, Falloutscrolls.

And thats why New Vegas is the best bethesda-era fallout, they didnt make it. though i did enjoy Fallout 4 and its Expansion packs.

It was a good adventure game, bad rpg game. It was more like, far cry but set in the fallout universe

It would be an interesting mechic to have karma effect the vats against humans. But not against ghouls, animals and other monsters.
