VATS? Just press Q (or LB/L1 for console). And remember, it's real-time targeting now, so be quick on the draw!
Pro Tip: Mastering VATS in real-time is key for those clutch moments against fast movers. Hit that VATS button (Q, LB, L1) as soon as the fight starts and get those crits rolling!
Hot take: Forget VATS, learn to aim. VATS is for novices.
Honestly, VATS was confusing at first cuz I was used to the old slow-mo style. But just press Q (or LB/L1) and you're good. It locks on enemies in real-time, which is super handy once you get the hang of it.
