Since the VATS changes, many things have worked better, but VATS criticals have been broken for commando (automatic fire). When I tap or burst fire, I can get crits, but when holding the trigger down, the crit sound still plays, but no crits are applied to the enemy. It's extremely frustrating and has been this way for a long time.

Is Bethesda working on this? Please comment if you're experiencing this too. I know it's widespread. There's an entire build style being crippled by this bug.

Here is a video demonstration. You can see that when I am firing off single shots, the crits are applying every other shot, as they should be per my build and stats. But when I fire automatic, no crits after the very first shot. Just the base damage.

This is the same on every enemy, including bosses. I am forced to tap the trigger on my automatic weapon if I want to get my crits.

Let's get this fixed, eh?

Thank you - I was not sure how to tag. I hope by including video and explaining we can make this tangible to see the issue.

Thank you for the tag and the video! We'll show this to the team and get some more eyes on this.
