Sniper (Fallout 4)

Sniper is a Perception perk .
==Effects==
This perk increases handling and breath control when aiming with non-automatic scoped rifles. Higher ranks grant a chance of knocking down enemies as well as an increase to accuracy with head shots in V.A.T.S.
=== Hold Breath Mechanic ===
Holding your breath will stabilize the aim sway, while draining 10 per second. Sniper brings it down to 5 per second. The hardcoded keybinding for holding your breath on the PC is Left-Alt.

==Bugs==
 While sneaking, the combination of the first rank of Sniper and wearing armor with Stabilization mods on both arms is enough to stop virtually all sway when looking down a sniper scope. However, this may stop working due to the "Ability Condition" bug.https://ck.uesp.net/wiki/Active_effect_time_imprecision_bug 
*Using the console to first remove each level of the Sniper perk and then reapplying them may fix the issue. For someone with all 3 ranks in Sniper, the commands run after opening the console with ~ would be:
** (removes 3rd rank)
** (removes 2nd rank)
** (removes 1st rank)
** (adds 1st rank)
** (adds 2nd rank)
** (adds 3rd rank)
