Scrapped perk cards.

[bluehawk188]

Not sure if this has been asked, and I have searched.

So a while back I was scrapping my old perk cards I wasn't going to use and I think I accidentally scrapped the ONLY science 1 ( never really got many of those to begin with) perk card.
So I have been relying on packs to hopefully get it back, along with a gunsmith to get it to 5 which I never had.

So now I find myself with the plans for gauss weapons and no way to make them. Is there any way to reclaim a scrapped card or did I blow my gold for nothing?

Thanks.

Unless you are still level locked, you can select whichever card at level up.

If you are still not level 50, then you possibly have to wait to get one randomly from a pack or it unlocks for selection as you level.

But generally, wait for level up, then select the card you want.

Edit: Just checked, and regular "Science" card should unlock for selection at level 20.

I just hit the lowley and sadly super pathetic level of 110 yesterday. So in essecne, I wated the gold for nothing.

Oh well, such is the way things go for my life.

Thanks.

No waste.

Go into your Pipboy / SPECIAL Screen. At the bottom you will find an option to "Pick a Perk" and a number. That is how many perk cards you can pick. Once in the "Pick a Perk" screen, you can filter through to where you see all available perk cards, or just the perk cards for a specific SPECIAL

If that number is 0, just go out and level up once. That will give you a perk you can pick. And you can grab your Science 1.

If I am understanding this, and I probably am not, then the OP has only been using perks that have come from perk packs? If so he'd have 100+ perk points to spend and getting a Science card won't be a problem.

But this can't be what happened right? Nothing else though explains why he didn't just take Science the last level up.

Everybody has issues with the SPECIAL/Perk system the first time around. It is dreadfully cumbersome.

Maybe so, but he is level 110. Not a big deal, just caused some wonder.

Actually, this isn't my first time around. I stopped playing some time ago and came back last month with a new alt as I got a friend of mine a copy so we can play together.

And as for the question, I never knew about that. I always relied on the perk packs only. I will check that out. Thank you.

You'll be able to take over 100 new perks or have over 200 perk coins. Christmas indeed!

It worked, Said I had 60 points to use. Thanks all.

Bruuuuh how did you make it to lvl 110 on just perk card packs wtf

In the short term, it's a minor mistake. In the long term, it's no mistake at all.

Once you will want to level up your Legendary Cards, you will have to scrap perk cards, eventually, so ... .

I can imagine the sense of freedom he must be feeling. Imagine being locked in to just whatever you get from packs for 100 levels. OP must have been cursing at them every time he opened one since he had to be hoping for specific drops that never came.

This is a very interesting case actually

This is one of those things, where I think the game needs better tutorials. A single placard pop up that might not be relevant for several weeks isn't good enough. Yes, I know there's a section to look stuff up, but who does that? lol

I never EVER preplan a build. I just have an idea and work it as I go.
