How to improve VATS weapon accuracy

Question

What are the different options to improve weapon accuracy. And is it in all the cases capped at 95%?

Answer 1

Your VATS accuracy with ranged weapons depends on:

• Your character's Perception stat (which means it is improved indirectly by anything which raises Perception)
• Weapon accuracy stat
• Weapon range stat (higher means less accuracy loss at larger distances)
• Any equipment which explicitly gives a bonus to VATS accuracy. You can sometimes find such items as random drops from rare enemies with a ★ behind their name.
• Any perks which give you an explicit bonus to VATS accuracy in certain situations:
  • Awareness 2 (5% accuracy)
  • Sniper 3 (25% accuracy for headshots with a non-automatic scoped rifle)
  • Penetrator 2 (no accuracy penalty for cover)
  • Concentrated Fire 1-3 (+10%/+15%/+20% accuracy for repeated shots)
  • Attack Dog 1 (accuracy bonus while your dog is holding the enemy)
  • Killshot (20% accuracy bonus for headshots) - this is a bonus perk obtained by maxing the relationship score with the companion character MacCready.

The 95% cap is a lie. Even though the UI never shows more than 95% accuracy, you can gain enough VATS accuracy that you never miss a shot.
