Astronomical critical hits!

[Guest]

Has anyone else got astronomically high critical hits once in a while? With the sniper rifle, Farsight got a 393 point critical on a super mutant with a shot to the eyes. I got a 1194 point critical (yes! one thousand, one hundred, ninety-four points!) using a sniper rifle and aiming for the eyes on a super mutant using my custom char, who had the perk More Criticals (giving him a critical chance of 24% using Finesse and 9 luck). I guess it makes some sense that occaisionally (maybe .1% of the time or so) you get really high damage, but does *anything* in the game have that much health?

The Behemoth which has 1200 HP?

The Calculator has more, for some odd reason. Which I find strange, because it's a computer console. One shot from my Pulse Rifle should have downed it.

I had my main character score a critical of 1308 damage, with a targeted shot to the eyes of the Power Armour thief who had kidnapped Arlette in the Coldwaters mission.

I'm sorry to gravedig this, but i got very astronomical crit of 1504 damage with hunting rifle, and so i feel it should be noted in this thread.

Information about the character, about the shot, and even screenshot of the shot's damage in the game's log - available to read in the first part of *this* big post of mine.

Edit: and very interesting explanation of this critical is given by Requiem in *this* post. I Highly recommend to read it.

And this time i made *really* astronomical critical hit - 4984 damage, no less! I hope that when dear moderator will see damage number in the screenshot below, then he won't punish me that much for double-posting: in my opinion, critical hit of SUCH magnitude definitely deserves a right to be in separate post.

Details: this hit was made in Great Bend, against melee robot, with Plasma rifle - aimed shot (eyes), very short range - about 2 or so tiles, by a character with Kamikaze and 2xBonus_Ranged_Damage, unmodded game (russian version - as far as i know, only texts are translated).

Edit: Oh, and BTW, i was not under any drug; and also, i still don't have any More_Criticals perks. So, my critical chance is at exactly 6% (6 luck i have). So, this time it's rather impossible to see this crit as crit_chance*damage calculation. So, i suppose, there is yet another way to get *that* high damage numbers once in a while... =)

You know what they say, everyone has a right to an opinion. Guess what you now have a right to a strike.
