“With the Silent Running perk, running no longer factors into a successful sneak attempt.”— In-game description
Silent Running is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Effects[]
Taking this perk eliminates the effect of running on an enemy's awareness of the player character, thus one can get within range faster than crouch-walking to execute a successful sneak attack.
Notes[]
Melee or unarmed fighters who rely on the use of sneak attacks can also benefit from the perk alongside Travel Light, Implant M-5 and Tunnel Runner, allowing one to close the distance quickly while remaining silent to achieve a Sneak Attack Critical.
Behind the scenes[]
The perk is a reference to the 1972 film Silent Running, which is set against a post-apocalyptic sci-fi backdrop.
