Trigger Discipline Perk - Good for Snipers without VATS?

I started to play a sniper but I won't use Vats.

I heard, that a shot with a sniper rifle hits exactly where you aim. If that's true, the perk "Trigger Discipline" would be completely useless for me, right? Moreover a disadvantage, because of the lower fire rate.

Best Answer

High accuracy reduces bullet spread, but sniper rifles have very little spread when you fulfill its Strength/Guns requirements. They also have a good fire rate for a long range weapon, so you might prefer not to get this perk, which is better on weapons with high spread, like shotguns.

Just note that Fallout is not exactly a shooting game, and it might sometimes frustrate a player that chooses to avoid VATS. Think of VATS more like making the game be "turn-based" instead of a "cheat mode".

Is Trigger Discipline worth it?

Trigger Discpline will cure your accuracy problems, but the reduced rate of fire and higher AP cost make it a trait better suited for long range, marksman playstyles. And if you have Concentrated Fire, it just wouldn't be wise to take Trigger Discipline at all.

Does trigger discipline affect automatic weapons?

Trigger Discipline does not affect the rate of fire on fully-automatic weapons.

How does trigger discipline work?

Trigger discipline breaks down into not having your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Why? Because keeping your booger hook off the bang switch until you're ready to fire is a critical safety measure. Most negligent discharges are the result of poor trigger discipline!

Is fast shot a good trait?

If you like hand-to-hand combat, Fast Shot is a good trait too. If you have 10 ap's and you get Bonus HtH Attacks and you use a Power Fist, you'll be able to hit your opponent 10 times before they can lift a finger at you.
