Called Shots?

Post by Vicsun »

Can anyone explain to me, as if I were a three year old, how exactly called (or targeted if you prefer) shots are made? In the manual it says that I'm supposed to right click on the weapon until a little target appears on it... but that never happened. When I right-click I get the options reload/single-shot/(burst fire); if it's a knife I get to choose between thursting and swinging, but not a targeted shot. I've tried with pretty much every weapon I've found, but to no avail...

I'm talking about the original fallout, btw
Vicsun, I certainly agree with your assertion that you are an unpleasant person. ~Chanak

The targetted shot will look like a single shot with a (small) bullseye/target icon in the upper right corner.

You should have the options of a single shot, single shot with target, burst and reload when using a firearm.

Unless of course you have taken the trait that makes it unable for you to use targetted shots (Fast shot I think).

:o

Note to self: read descriptions of traits carefully before choosing.

Thanks for the help Xan.

Isn't the Fastshot-trait so it costs a AP less to shoot/attack?

yup
Here where the flattering and mendacious swarm
Of lying epitaths their secrets keep,
At last incapable of further harm
The lewd forefathers of the village sleep.

Cost 1 less AP to shoot, but you can't use Aimed Shots when you have taken it.
