This question may sound stupid at the first glance, but I wonder what impact this number has. If you have a pistol with a range of 60, will VATS only activate if there are enemies within that range? And what happens if you shoot at someone to far away? Does the bullet begin to sink (would be a weird type of ballistic) or does it simply vanish?

All I can say is that there wasn't a single enemy until now that I couldn't hit even over the biggest distances, if it wasn't for the accuracy.

Best Answer

I don't think it affects the detection range of the VATS. You could try to use a wide ranged weapon and spot a far enemy and then change to a short ranged weapon. There shouldn't be a difference. VATS is also available if you don't have a weapon in your hand - or if you have a meele weapon.

It should only be an indicator for the VATS damage and accuracy.
