In Your Face perk only works with single shot weapons... burst negates the -50%, even at 1hex. 2ndly, with players getting their weapon skills to max, AC is useless at that point... dont plan on either of them working against a buster

In your face is confirmed not working.

WTF? true? so it is useless?

[mkhammer]

There are other perks, which are more valuable to take.

This is not entirely true...

IYF works if you are one hex away from someone, and they aren't bursting. So yes, it works in very limited situations. In my opinion, it's only good against cripplers/snipers or other melee fighters. But by the time you get to a sniper, he is already screwed... Better off to make a heavy handed melee sneaker.

Can NPC companions (aka "Wastelanders") be used for pvp in towns? Do they attack a player that just shot me automatically or do I need to use alt+leftmousebutton and then use the "attack(high priority)" command? Seems a bit clumsy, I tried to do it (with the command) and they didn't do anything. Maybe it was just a lag, the other guy was running around like crazy
Also when they die, can you loot armors from them?

[Henry]

They do not do combat against player characters at all, is my understanding. They used to (and it was a blast). Maybe they will again? For now, no.

nooooooo
what about mercenaries or slaves?

No NPC companions attack players, none.

But you can use them to help you clear out the militia from a TC town.

[Mad Matt]

Same as above, there are no npcs who will fight for your cause. Mercenaries will shoot players after wipe in wastelands, companions will shoot players only in tents, houses or base maps of their commander.

Does DT(Damage Threshold) works per bullet with bursts, or it's subtracted from total burst damage only once?

Thx

To join Vault City faction on the wiki it says,

"...having 120% Repair, First Aid, Doctor or 100% Science skill at 150% will gain you access."

so if I read this correctly, you can become a citizen of Vault City if you have 150% Science skill, right?

[Henry]

Yes according to the wiki as it is now. If you try this and it doesn't work, please say so. The criteria shown on that page was not worded correctly. I just improved it, but had to make an assumption.

If someone can verify the facts on this page, i will gladly update the wiki.

Thanks, Henry. 

I would test it again, but the guard (for some reason this time) gave me the quest to locate the Hydroelectric Magnetosphere, so I did that instead of a stat check.

Spoiler: show

pm me if you want a free energy weapon or some chems.
