* Deactivating a robot will award 10 exp points and will prevent the robot from being accepted as a target in [[Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System|V.A.T.S.]] However, the unit can still take damage and destroying one will give the same experience and loot as normal. Every attack on a deactivated robot while sneaking will register as a sneak attack critical regardless of the player's location or level.

* Making contact with a deactivated robot while sneaking may still alert other robots in the vicinity to the player's presence, just as if the robot were fully active.

* Although turrets are scripted as robots and can be theoretically disabled in sneak with this perk, turrets are usually out of the players reach. Consequently, they can usually be more easily shut down with the corresponding terminal, if any.

* For deactivating a robot using the perk, it is sufficient to be crouched and behind it. As opposed to the perk's description, it is not necessary to be [HIDDEN], i.e. close up and unnoticed. You can in fact charge a hostile robot, crouch, circle strafe and disable it while it is circling about weapons blazing.
