Weapon Long Range is a weapon perk in Fallout and Fallout 2.
Effects[]
Used for long range weapons, this perk doubles the effective range of the weapon (the distance at which the range penalty applies), to 4*(Perception - 2) hexes.
Notes[]
Almost all rifles and big guns with a range of 26-50 hexes from Fallout 1 got this perk. Sadly, almost all new rifles and big guns in Fallout 2 didn't (see table below). This oversight means that many of the new guns can have up to 64 % less accuracy for a character with high Perception, e.g. from 95 % with the AK-112 to only 31 % with the "superior" XL70E3.
