Percentages too low??

[CJSnape]

Hi everyone, long time Fallout player coming back to F2 for another go. My issue is ranged combat, my percentages keep dropping to really low. I have 101% small arms and Perception 7, but I keep getting about 30-40% chance to hit when almost right next to them? I’ve even got the scopes hunting rifle, no difference? Occasionally I’ll get a random 95% from 10 tiles away, then it goes back to really low again. Any ideas??

Guns have low accuracy if you're closer. They have better accuracy once the target is far. But depends on how far, if its too much, it starts getting low accuracy again.

Is that just rifles or pistols as well? Might have to do some testing. Thanks for the reply.

You are right. I need to be eight spaces away and I get a perfect 95%. Never knew that! Thanks.

It depends on the gun too. One handed guns are better at short range..and 101% is mid to low tier, 200%+ is when you are an expert

Also there is penalty for darkness iirc

I'm a little late but do you meet the weapon's strength requirement?

I think only scoped hunting rifle gets penalty when close to enemy(7 squares). It has 20x times scope so no wonder :P Sniper rifle surprisingly doesnt get that penalty.
