Awareness is a Wasteland 2 attribute.
Characteristics[ | ]
Awareness refers not just to eyesight and whether or not a Ranger needs glasses, but also the Ranger's general concentration and situational awareness, which allows them to get the jump on the enemy - or not. Awareness' high influence on initiative and other combat stats makes it an important attribute for Rangers that you want to move early and often in combat, be it a bruiser needing to get into position, or a sniper getting a quick kill.
It also determines view range, in conjunction with Perception:
- View range = 25 + Perception + (Awareness/2)
Note that since no attribute can be lower than 1, the base sight radius is actually 26 and the following table reflects that.
