If additional information is what you crave, then this is a most helpful augmentation to your V.A.T.S. combat interface, as it allows you to see what a foe's resistances are and use weapons they are susceptible to.Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide description

Awareness is a Perception perk in Fallout 4.

Effects[]

Taking rank 1 of this perk grants the ability to reveal an enemy's Damage Resistances and Level when targeting them in V.A.T.S.

Rank 2 grants +5% additional weapon damage and +5% increased hit chance while using V.A.T.S.

Ranks[]

Rank Requirements Description Form ID
1 PER 3 To defeat your enemies, know their weaknesses! You can view a target's specific damage resistances in V.A.T.S. 000D2287
2 PER 3, LVL 14 Nuka-World (add-on) Knowing their weaknesses lets you attack more efficiently. 5% increase to hit chance and damage dealt to VATS targets. xx028A22

Notes[]

  • While the perk reveals resistances for an enemy (in addition to a crossed-out symbol for immunities), it will not display any special characteristics or traits. For example, with Awareness, ghouls are shown as having 1000 radiation resistance, when in fact they have a special effect that allows them to restore HP upon receiving radiation damage, making the resistance moot.
