“Living Anatomy allows you to see the health and Damage Threshold of any target. It also gives you a +5% bonus to damage against humans and non-feral ghouls.”— In-game description
Living Anatomy is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Effects[]
Taking this perk grants the ability to view an NPC's Hit Points and Damage Threshold amount when using VATS as well as a +5% bonus to damage against humans and non-feral ghouls.
Notes[]
- Targets with "long" names (such as "Brotherhood of Steel Paladin" or Y-17 Trauma Override Harness") may extend two lines when targeted, and thus push the HP and DT down past the edge of the screen, making the numbers unreadable.
- The perk tracks overkill damage, so targets can display negative HP.
- The perk's first effect is similar to the Awareness perk of Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics.
Bugs[]
