 * When you are sometimes too close to your target in VATS, the Mysterious Stranger will appear directly on your target and will miss all his shots.
 * If the Mysterious Stranger appears and there is a wall or other obstacle between him and his target he will not take a shot. This will sometimes lead to you being stuck in VATS permanently.
 * The Mysterious Stranger will not function underwater. When the Stranger is activated underwater, the music will play, and the Stranger will swim around the target for a few seconds, then VATS will exit. This has no negative effects other than the fact that an angry enemy is now chasing the player, and the Stranger will continue to appear on a regular basis.
 * Sometimes, the Mysterious Stranger will spawn behind the player, who will be directly in the line of fire between him and the target. There is a good chance the player can be shot, especially if it's in a doorway or similar.
 * If the enemy is near a cliff and a weapon is used that knocks them off it without killing them, the stranger may spawn in the air off the cliff and fall to his "death" as a result. As he is an "essential" character he will be rendered unconscious and the "Mysterious Stranger is Unconscious" message will appear on screen like any other essential NPC. Has shown up in VATS since so no permanent damage seems to occur.
 * The Mysterious Stranger will sometimes appear to obliterate a target in circumstances where such an outcome may not necessarily be desirable.
 * It has occured that the Mysterious Stranger does not disappear upon exiting VATS, allowing you to "speak" with him. His dialogue is simply a blank box that goes away almost immediately. You can target him in VATS, which, amusingly, can cause another Mysterious Stranger to appear and attack the first one. Upon exiting VATS, they will both disappear.
 * Whilst playing through Take it Back! the Mysterious Stranger was hit by one of the shots from Liberty Prime's lasers,which rendered him unconscious and sent him miles into the air.
