Perk cards

[bobrav]

I am at level 50, and I am still at 0 for lock picking and opening safes or doors, is that possible, or did I miss something. The perk cards I am getting are mostly duplicates of the ones I have, and none of them have anything to do with lock picking, any idaes?

Lock Picking is a perception card.

Read all your choices, every screen.

You didn't need to choose from the perk cards presented when you chose a SPECIAL point at level up. From now on, you'll be able to choose a perk OR switch a SPECIAL point around each time you level.

[Amanandhisdog]

there are in reality 3 perk card decks or pools.
1. your pocket or installed deck that fills your special tab with cards.
2. the pool you draw from to fill the above deck at any time you choose.
3. the pool you draw NEW cards from one each level until level 50 and of course the pack of cards every 5 levels. after level 50 you get a choice to pick a new card OR move 1 special point to another special or re speccing your specials one level up at a time.

1 and 2 bove are fully under your control. 3 is random each tiem you level up or open a perk card pack. you should have seen lock picking or can choose it the next time you level up. you can filter thru each special category from the on screen menu at the bottom of the screen.

This is something that I found really irritating.

A few months in Bethesda decided to give in to the vocal minority and remove all 1 point cards from the packs. This was because people complained they had too many Aqualgirl, Woodchucker, Green Thumb, Pick Lock cards etc.

So they removed them and now you just get masses of other duplicate cards instead from the card packs.

So if you want any of the one point cards (that can not be ranked up) you have to buy them. Which of course they do not tell players this, so we get people like you going "wtf I never got any of those cards at all.)

I never had to buy lockpicking or hacking, I chose them as they opened up and had all 6 cards by the time I was level 30 or so.

You just contradicted yourself....

If you chose them then you bought them.

[krashd]

But don't you have to choose a card? To me it seemed like you had to choose a card so no I didn't contradict myself, I chose something.

So then explain to us what you meant by:

How do you "buy a card"?
Explain that please.
I would really like to know how to "buy a card" because after gaining about a 1000 levels I have never seen any option to "buy a card."

Explain it yourself, Einstein. I was replying to you after all.

Really throwing insults because you can not figure it out?

Let me say it a second time.

I aint got the time or the patience for your brahminshit.

I am explaining to the OP that the single rank perk cards can not be acquired from card packs. You have to buy them when you level up.

Then along comes you and your argument because you could not figure how to get a perk card.

[krashd]

I've never once had trouble getting a perk card 🤔 But, as you were.

[bobrav]

As per my original discussion, in 50 levels, I have yet to get a perk card for lock picking, it is frustrating to miss out on all these locked doors and safes because I am at level 0, thanks for all your comments.

The level you "spent" in order to be able to choose your card AKA buying a card, as opposed to opening a perk pack where you "find" cards.

That was not the topic here, especially since you can choose/buy any card given you have the required level...

To OP, you can select which card you get when you level up, just go to the perception cards filter (check the bottom of your level up screen) and just select Lockpick.

Child its one level up perk and at 50 you can't even put in special point anymore just move the oens you got, or pick a card. As far as I am concerned you can't get more free then that. I mean come on 50 levels and what you never once had crap to pick from?

At at level 50 you failed to pick a lockpicking card once, its all you mate. Its like going "I am level 50 and I have failed to get 5 gunsmithing cards, its so frustrating." If you want it get it so simple...
