You can hip fire, but your accuracyis improved if you zoom in or look down the sights of a weapon.However, this comes at the cost of speed. Crouching and firingis even more accurate, though you’re obviously a sitting duck.Also remember that the heavier the weapon, the more carryweight you’ll need and the slower you’ll be to react.Both you and your enemies can inflict different types of damage:–BALLISTIC: BULLET, SHELL, OR NORMAL PROJECTILE DAMAGE.–ENERGY: POWERFUL BLASTS OF ELECTRICITY OR LASER FIRE.–RADIATION: DAMAGE WITH A RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT, USUALLYENVIRONMENTAL OR WHEN BEING STRUCK BY RADIOACTIVE CREATURES.–POISON: USUALLY ATTACKS FROM CERTAIN TYPES OF UNCLEAN ENEMY CLAWS.There are four traders who wander the Commonwealth with anarmed guard, pack Brahmin, and a sense of purpose.
