By relying on the dirty unarmed fighting tricks of the Great Khans, you can throw dust into the eyes of your enemies, temporarily stunning them. Perform a Power Attack while moving left or right to execute the Khan Trick.— In-game description

Khan Trick is an Unarmed perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

Requirements[]

This perk is rewarded by rescuing Anders, completing Diane's drug runs to Don Hostetler and Motor-Runner, and teaching Jack at least three new drug recipes during Aba Daba Honeymoon in Red Rock Canyon.

Effects[]

The technique is executed by performing a power attack while moving left or right. The player character will then throw dirt into an enemy's eyes, temporarily stunning them.

Notes[]

  • If the player character has killed Motor-Runner before they talk to Jack, then they will be unable to teach him new recipes and therefore not be able to learn the Khan Trick.
  • Performing the move in both first- and third-person view shows the player character crouching down, and then throwing both hands forward and out, though no dirt or dust is visually displayed.
  • While this animation causes the screen to move left and right, the throw will be in the place the player character was initially looking (or where it would be, based on aim movements during the animation).
  • This attack should only be attempted on humans, as it is completely useless on creatures.
  • Due to numerous bugs with the associated quest itself, it may be difficult or outright impossible to earn this perk.
  • Any effects that are applied on hit with an unarmed weapon will be used on an enemy if the dirt hits them. This is most noticeable with unarmed weapons that have visual effects on hit, such as displacer gloves and ballistic fists.
  • If looking at the ground in first person, the camera will point even farther down, turning the camera upside down.
  • The Khan Trick can affect enemies wearing helmets, such as NCR Veteran Rangers.
  • This is the only one of the four unarmed fighting perks that has (more or less) the same animations in first and third person.
  • Characters and enemies that get hit by this attack will display a crippled animation.
