Center of Mass

Center of Mass, or Center Mass, is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout: The Roleplaying Game.

Effects
When targeting the torso of an enemy in V.A.T.S., an additional 15% damage is dealt.

Effects
When performing a ranged attack, aiming at the torso (or equivalent, such as the main body of a Mister Handy) of an enemy does not increase difficulty to hit. Additionally, when aiming for the torso, a single d20 may be re-rolled when performing the test for the attack.

Behind the scenes
In terms of weapons handling, center mass refers to the center of a person's chest or torso, which is the middle of the visible mass, making it the most likely place to score a hit. The center of mass is not only the largest target but also where important organs are, so it's generally seen as the priority target, lacking the difficulty and improbability of a shot to the head.
