With the Sniper perk, your chance to hit an opponent’s head in [[Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System|V.A.T.S.]] is increased by 25%. As with most perks that increase your chance to hit in V.A.T.S. this bonus is multiplicative, not additive. For example, if you had a 50% chance to hit an enemy's head without the perk, you would have a 62.5% chance with the perk.
