Perception/Fallout 4

Perception is one of the seven primary statistics in the SPECIAL system.

Gameplay
In Fallout 4, Perception directly affects accuracy in V.A.T.S., and indirectly (through perks) affects pickpocketing and lockpicking attempts. Perception increases accuracy in V.A.T.S. by 10% per point invested into it, but V.A.T.S. accuracy cannot go above 95%.

Permanent

 * +1 Perception Training upon level-up (up to 10 Perception)
 * You're SPECIAL! - optional +1 Perception upon acquiring
 * Perception bobblehead (+1)
 * V.A.N.S. 2 (+2)

Bugs
It is possible that your perception will be reduced with a "(-)" shown to indicate a temporary effect, even if there are no visible temporary effects. This usually is caused by using Med-X after Stingwing attack. Console commands can only mask the issue, not solve it. For players on Survival mode, the lack of a console means that they are stuck with a low perception.
