If you're not using VATS regularly, you are asking for trouble.Ĭoncentrate your fire on one body part. VATS will allow you to inflict the maximum amount of damage - far more than simply firing from the hip - and take down enemies quickly and easily. Fallout 3 is not a run-and-gun shooter, so don't play it like one! In combat, tap the right trigger (PS3 and Xbox 360 versions) to enable the VATS targeting system.
