Rad resistant perk question
So I read that rad resistant perk gives you +20 each level on survival, but when I look at my stats on the pip boy they still look like they are only giving me +10 per level. Is the extra +10 hidden or am I missing something?

That's really weird, because the wiki claims that this is true, but when I went in-game to check for myself the perk screen said that each rank only boosted it by +10. I'm pretty sure that I don't have mods that don't mess with perks, but there's always a chance I guess.

I don't really think that Rad Resistant is all that great even on Survival though. Maybe if it was 10% per rank instead of +10 I might look more favorably towards it, but otherwise it seems like too miniscule a benefit to bother with when you could just pick up a Hazmat suit or prepare yourself a good suit of Power Armor.

I haven't actually gotten to the Glowing Sea yet though...

Radiation doesnt exist in the game, why are you even picking that perk lol. It poses no danger whatsoever unless you swim in the puddles of glowing sea naked ''accidently'', for at least 1 minute straight.

[Edit - this applies to Lead Belly not Rad Resistant]
There is a slight bug with this perk and how it reports the radiation resistance at each level of the perk. It's a report-only bug, what you see in the PipBoy is wrong but the effects are done correctly.

You can test this by skinny-dipping in water and checking the level of rads you take at each perk level, vs wearing a Vault suit say.

But yes it's a very weak perk.

Actually that bug I mentioned is on Lead Belly not on Rad Resistant.

The Wiki was wrong, there is no difference in this perk between Survival and normal mode. They may have been thinking of mods like Frost that alter these perks. Or maybe thinking of Far Harbor which adds an extra perk level to this perk but doesn't change the progression.

The wiki seems to have been fixed now.

The wiki still shows +20 on survival for me.

The main reason I took the perk was because I'm using the True Storms mod and I heavily buffed the radiation damage areas like the Glowing Sea and Far Harbor. I've also already gotten most to all if the perks my build is using so I figured why not lol
