“The Ninja perk grants you the power of the fabled shadow warriors. When attacking, you gain a +15% critical chance on all Melee and Unarmed attacks. Additionally, Sneak attack criticals do 25% more damage than normal.”— In-game description
Ninja is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Effects[]
Taking this perk grants a permanent 15% bonus to critical chance and 25% bonus to damage on a successful sneak attack critical when using Melee Weapons and Unarmed attacks.
Notes[]
The perk affects the critical chance and sneak attack damage of both Melee Weapons and Unarmed despite only requiring 80 Melee Weapons in addition to 80 Sneak.
Bugs[]
Ninja increases critical chance by 15 percent; in other words, it multiplies the character's critical chance by 1.15, unlike all other perks/traits that modify critical chance by adding percentage points, meaning that Ninja does not add .15 to the critical chance. For example, a character with a critical hit chance of even 25% would have it be increased to only 28.5% rather than to 40% as it should. (25% * 1.15 = 28.75% vs 25% + 15% = 40%) [verified]
