This is getting infuriating. There is no way my rolls are so bad to regularly miss 4-5 95% headshots in a row. Exiting VATS and retargetting sometimes helps, but I just did a Collision Course event where it took me forever to kill even one wave because a vast majority of my 95% shots missed. Is this lag or something?

Put this with the "hits" that show a damage number high enough to one shot a scorched or feral ghoul, yet they take no damage whatsoever, sometimes 2-3 bullets in a row, and I am bleeding ammo.

Does anyone else see these happen? I came back recently from a year or so away, and I don't remember these happening before.

Edit: I primarily use a pipe revolver rifle, but I've seen it with other rifles and pistols as well, including a hunting rifle and even The Fixer.

We understand missing in VATS can be very frustrating! With today's update, you should see a big improvement.

From our patch notes:

  • VATS: Greatly improved the accuracy of chance to hit percentages when using VATS.
  • VATS: Hits that successfully strike the target now deal damage correctly.
  • VATS: Fixed an issue that could cause VATS to close when line of sight to the targeted enemy became partially obstructed.
  • VATS: Continuing to fire a Flamer or Cryolator after closing VATS no longer stops those weapons from damaging enemies.
  • VATS: Corrected the damage dealt when firing the Tesla Rifle and uncharged Gauss Weapons in VATS.
