Blitz

Blitz is a perk in Fallout 4.

Effects
Able to do melee attacks from a distance in V.A.T.S.

Ranks
Blitz lets the player target an enemy in V.A.T.S for a melee attack from a further distance. The player must be able to reach the enemy by walking, so an enemy on an inaccessible balcony cannot be targeted, even if looks like they are in Blitz range. This also applies to the player, so jumping onto a platform/barrel/container will not allow you to Blitz from that position.

The second rank of Blitz calculates its extra damage based on the distance it would take to reach them. If the walking distance is large enough then the full 25% extra damage will be applied.

Bugs
There is a bug where the player will execute a Blitz attack, but stay in their initial position. This seems to be caused by being behind waist-high objects when using V.A.T.S. on an enemy.
