For each crippled limb you have, you do an additional 10% damage.— In-game description

Eye for Eye is a perk in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.

Effects[]

Taking this perk grants a temporary 10% bonus to damage dealt by all sources (except weapon effects such as burning, poison and explosion effect by Sonic emitter - robo-scorpion). Damage increases with each crippled limb up to a maximum of 5 limbs. (The torso is not considered a limb).

Each damaged limb counts as a separate multiplier. The multiplier of the five crippled limbs, for example, will be as follows: , which counts as a 61% damage increase.

Notes[]

  • The perk pairs well with the Small Frame trait as it confers a "penalty" of +25% limb damage, increasing the chances of crippling.
  • This perk provides the biggest damage boost in the game, synergizing well with additional perks that increase the usefulness of critical hits.
  • Old World Blues (add-on) The Old World Blues perks Brainless and Big Brained reduce this perk's effectiveness due to rendering one of the five limbs immune to crippling, lessening the full potential of the perk.
  • Taking Steady can entirely offset the increased sway and reduced accuracy from having crippled arms.
  • Travel Light and Atomic! Old World Blues (add-on) can compensate for the movement speed penalties of having crippled legs while walking. When sneaking, the perks Tunnel Runner Lonesome Road (add-on) (wearing light armor or none only) and Implant M-5 Old World Blues (add-on), as well as wearing the Stealth suit Mk II Old World Blues (add-on) (if fully upgraded during Project X-13) can speed up movement as well.

Behind the scenes[]

  • The perk name is a reference to the Bible verse Exodus 21:24, which reads, "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot."
  • Similarly, the phrase was the defining premise for Hammurabi's Code, one of the first recorded sets of laws in history.
