Wasteland Whammy! Unleashing the Critical Crit in Fallout 4
So, you're roaming the irradiated wasteland, blasting radroaches with your trusty pipe pistol (hey, gotta start somewhere!), and things just feel a little... underwhelming. Pow! Pow! Pow! Sure, you're taking down those mutant mongrels, but where's the pizazz? Where's the oomph? Fear not, vault dweller, because I'm here to show you the glorious path of the critical hit!
Building Your Inner-Crit Capacitor
First things first, you gotta fill up your critical meter. This bad boy acts like a rage gauge for righteous violence. Every time you land a hit in VATS (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System - fancy, huh?), that meter creeps up a notch. Think of it like a slot machine – the more you spin (well, shoot), the closer you get to that sweet, sweet critical jackpot.
Pro-Tip: Don't go all Rambo in VATS. Target those limbs! Taking out an enemy's arm might not be the most humane approach, but hey, a crippled foe is a crit-filling foe!
Unleashing the Fury: Crit-ical Decisions
Alright, so your meter's full. Now comes the moment of truth! You've lined up your shot in VATS, ready to unleash hellfire. But wait! There's more! Just before you fire that final round, a button prompt appears. This is your critical decision point, wasteland warrior!
Mash the Button Like a Radroach on Jet (Though seriously, don't do chems, kids): This is the " unleash the fury" option. A random critical attack will rain down on your unfortunate foe, maybe a double tap to the head, a limb-shredding power fist blow, or even a VATS version of the "Naruto Run" (hey, it could happen!).
Play the Percentages: Feeling like a gambling man? Hold off on that button mash. The meter will slowly deplete, giving you a chance to see what kind of critical attack is on the table. High risk, high reward – you might land a legendary blow that vaporizes your enemy, or you might just end up with a glorified tickle.
Banking on the Future: Got the "Critical Banker" perk? This lets you store up crits for later. So next time you're facing a Deathclaw the size of a pre-war bus, you can unleash a whole barrage of critical pain!
The Rewards of Crit-icism
Why bother with all this critical mumbo jumbo, you ask? Well, my friend, critical hits are the ultimate wasteland power-up. They deal massive damage, can cripple enemies in spectacular ways, and just generally make you feel like a total badass. Imagine taking down a Behemoth with a single, well-timed critical shotgun blast. The look on its confused, irradiated face will be priceless.
So there you have it, wastelanders! With a little practice and a whole lot of button mashing, you'll be a critical hit machine in no time. Just remember, with great critical power comes great responsibility... responsibility to look awesome while delivering said crit, of course!
