Sneering Imperialist is a perk in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Honest Hearts.

EffectsEdit

Sneering Imperialist provides a 15% damage boost and a 1.25x multiplier to the player's V.A.T.S. chance-to-hit when attacking members of certain groups, such as tribals, raiders, Fiends, and Great Khans

Although the perk's description only mentions raiders, junkies, and Zion's various tribals, which non-player characters the perk affects are actually determined by the non-player character's "race" (referring to a game-specific setting rather than perceived racial makeup). This covers a number of groups/factions in their entirety:

• Fiends
• Jackal gang members
• Sorrows
• Viper gunslingers
• White Legs
• Great Khans

In addition, a number of other groups are partially composed of members of the specified race designations:

• Freeside squatters
• Freeside locals
• Freeside thugs
• Refugees
• Wastelanders
• Westside Militia

Finally, a few named non-player characters are covered by this perk:

• Dixon
• Joshua Graham
• Oscar Velasco
• Pretty Sarah

NotesEdit

• The perk opens an additional dialogue option when dealing with Salt-Upon-Wounds, allowing the Courier to encourage Joshua Graham to execute him.
• This perk also grants an additional dialogue option when being spoken to, right after entering Angel Cave for the first time, allowing you to be rude to the Dead Horses tribal who directs you to Joshua Graham.
• As opposed to the similar Fight the Power!, most "tribal" enemies tend to be weak in the later stages of the game, so the relative merit is more dubious.
• In the image, the Vault Boy appears to be wielding a hunting rifle, and the dead person below him is a Fiend, as shown by the trademark helmet.

Behind the scenesEdit

The image and name are a reference to the era of colonization, where soldiers of European superpowers would invade and conquer uncivilized tribes in faraway areas. In color, the soldier standing on the dead Fiend is wearing the traditional uniform of a British soldier.
