Why did it take me 9 years to find out you could hold VATS in Fallout 4 to free aim?
An old discovery that's new to me

VATS (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System) is a long-time Fallout feature that pauses the game and lets players take aim at specific enemy body parts to disarm a limb, break a knee, or pop a ghoul's head like a rotted grape. But almost a decade after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 4 came out, I'm only now leaꦕrning about a gameꦅ-changing VATS fact.
Brought toꦡ our attention by twitterer Jamie Moran, holding down the VATS button in Fallout 4 lets you free aim with the VATS UI turned on, as opposed to toggling between available enemies in ultra slow motion. Doing this seems more than ideal when scouting for nearby baddies since enemies will still be highlighted with that radioactive green color as well as percentage hit points for limbs - only this time with full control over the camer꧋a.

The unexplained VATS feature is more handy than one might think, however. Not only is it🙈 great for scouting out enemies, but it'll highlight hidden mines too, turning those pesky minefields into a breezy walk. After unlocking the VANS (Vault-Tec Assisted Navigational System) perk, holding down VATS will also show a green breadcrumb trail leading to your nearest quest marker, similar to the guidance spell in Skyrim. My Fallout 4 playthroughs will never be the same.
