“As an agent of death, you can instantly kill a sleeping person. Your silenced weapons do an additional 15% sneak attack damage.”— Rank 1 description
Mister Sandman is an Agility perk in Fallout 4.
Effects[]
Taking ranks of this perk grants bonus damage when using silenced weapons as well as the ability to perform a special animation that instantly kills a human target, but only when they are sleeping. Higher ranks increase the damage done.

Notes[]
- Damage bonus works only on weapons with a silencer mod installed, making it generally useless for weapons without that option, like Energy or Melee weapons.
- The perk is activated the same as in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas: While in sneak mode you are given the option to either pickpocket or Sandman kill. After selecting Sandman kill, a short killing animation follows that is always guaranteed to kill the target. Unlike Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, Sandman kills do not award XP.
- It is not possible to perform Mister Sandman kills while wearing power armor.
- As of patch 1.4, the bonus damage stacks additively with the Ninja perk. With both perks fully leveled equals a 4.0x sneak attack multiplier. However, some small multiplicative variances may occur when adding Cloak & Dagger into the mix; see the Bugs section below for more details.
Behind the scenes[]
The name of the perk is in reference to The Chordettes 1954 song "Mr. Sandman". Ironically, while the perk has existed since Fallout 3, the song itself did not appear in any released Fallout game until Fallout 76.
