"Perception affects your awareness of nearby enemies, your ability to detect stealthy movement, and your weapon accuracy in V.A.T.S." |
Perception is a statistic in Fallout 76 (FO76). Stats are attributes in the game that determine the player's capacity or ability. Improving stat values will improve the player's ability with Weapons, Armor and more. The game returns to its SPECIAL stats system reminiscent of the previous Fallout games. See Perks for further information.
Perception Information
Perception affects a number of gameplay factors in the game. Firstly, the perception statistic directly affects the range of detection of the player. So the detection of Enemies, NPCs and other players would be directly reliant on this attribute.
Second, when using the V.A.T.S system, the chances of a success is affected by Perception.
Thirdly, in lockpicking, pickpocketing and theft perception is the statistic that determines if the detection roll would fail or succeed.
Perception affects your awareness of nearby enemies, your ability to detect stealthy movement, and your weapon accuracy in V.A.T.S. If you employ V.A.T.S. on a regular basis, and you accrue additional Perception Points, there is a much greater chance of hitting your enemies. A higher Perception also reveals detected threats - which appear as red dots on your compass - at a greater distance.
