Forum:What is the best body part to aim for?

Hi everybody. Which is the best body part to shoot? Is there a bonus to hitting the, say, head rather than arm? Whether in VATS or not in VATS, is there a body part we should be aiming for? Thanks for the advice. Makeswell 11:38, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

There is an achievement for crippling right arms/claws, and it can make people drop weapons. If you take the Sniper perk, you get higher critical chance of hitting the head, which can stun them for a moment. There is a similar perk for hitting legs. If a deathclaw or super mutant is running at you, crippling a leg will give you more time to finish them off. GRPeng 04:14, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
