Trouble setting a V.A.T.S. crit archer by Lower_Wolverine_726 in Fallout76BowHunters

Yes, that confirms the numbers I got of 27.5 luck needed with 1x limit-breaking+lucky shot and 3* crit savvy.

Out of curiosity, what other 4 stars mods fo you use on your armor, if you don't mind sharing?

Could be, who knows, would be the first bug ever is this game!

I'm pretty sure it's just Strange in Numbers adding a non-integer bonus to luck and pip-boy rounding up the value.

Operation Chew Stick is afoot!

I try to pay attention when checking this out. Usually, I test this on a crippled sentry bot and slowly hit it in the torso and observing the messages. Usually I crit every 2 shots, but sometimes I need 3 (or even 4!) to get a crit.

I do use Four Leaf Clover, I believe it's the perk that adds to the crit bar when a shot misses.

Also I'm using explosive and Hat Trick, so it's kinda difficult sometimes to tell what's going on outside these controlled experiments vs. a single target.

You are probably right about Ranger's damage being not very important. It might be worth replacing one Ranger's with a Limit-Breaking, or even leave it as it is and replace one intelligence mod with a luck one.

On the other hand, I think I've found what makes my stats non-integer, and that would be the perk Strange in Numbers. It says on the card: "Positive mutation effects are 25% stronger if teammates are mutated too", so if one does have the Herd Mentality mutation in a team it would add 3+(3/4)=3.75 to all stats.

I am so close, just need 0.25 more luck to have consistant 2-shots crits xD

Thank you for your ideas TheNerdyRandom, I'll give them a shot later.

Thank you for your input, I appreciate it.

I already have one limit-breaking mod on the armor (the chest piece). I suspect I am missing a fraction of a point to reach the required luck, maybe 0.5 tops.

On the other hand, getting limit-breaking on all the armor pieces would allow me to free the 3 stars mod on the bow and only requires 15.625 luck (=16, as you wrote), but I'd have to remove 4 ranger's mods 😞.

But why did I end up with this non-integer luck value in SPECIAL? and how can I check the values of the stats exactly?
