Unlock perks above level 3 ?

[smokingSnakeRIT]

I would like to know how I can unlock perks above level 3 because I need Perk Science and Blacksmith to be able to manufacture / upgrade some items within the game. Should I get something specific to upgrade them? I upgraded intelligence to the fullest thinking it would unlock Science but didn't unlock any level 4 or above perk

For Science rank 4 you need a character level of 41. Is that what you mean?

Also certain perks require higher SPECIALs at higher levels.
Mistake I made on my first run, you can get any perk on the chart, given you meet the requirements. You don't go sequentially down the line on any of them. Wrong Way.

and how should i do to unlock others? I upgraded all level 3 perks to the maximum level

From what it sound like, you seem to not know that the perk screen scrolls. Just move your cursor to the bottom of the screen and it scrolls to the higher level perks. The only thing you need to do to unlock them is to have your SPECIAL attribute at the correct level.

before you leave Vault 111 you can check the skills you wanna use and plan ahead by pressing ctrl to see the requirements.

the highest ones require i think close to rank 40 or a little above / below
it depends

you also need the SPECIAL lvls to be able to upgrade them. Most needing lvl 10 or close to it.



Yeah they really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the previous SPECIAL, traits, perks, and skill points system. Now im not gonna lie that this way it makes you think 2X about it and i'm semi-glad they got rid of needing high intelligence to get max skill points but the payoff wasn't enough.


If you don't wanna think about it too much you can set your SPECIAL lvls by adding skill points using console commands. If i remember it was cgf "game.addperkpoints" # (of skill points) on the console commands. You can bring it up using the ~ key. It's better than manually adding the skills or the SPECIAL stats itself b/c of complications with the new system. I just add enough skill points to be able to get a decent build + some skills too.

Again they really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it hard.

Level 421 ? You have a mod or console command that screwed things up. This can affect your access to perks.

I got my Science level 4 at level 43-ish ?

what i didn't understand is how to unlock perks above level 3, just raise your character's level so they appear in the list of perks or do you have to unlock them through quests?

Just to be clear. Do you mean rank 4 of a perk (Like Science 4)? Just buy ranks 1-3 first . If you mean Level 4 or higher perks on the chart, then you just need to scroll the chart down by moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen. The only thing required to make the first rank of any perk available is to have the appropriate SPECIAL attribute be equal to or higher than the level of the perk.

Science is a level 6 perk on the chart under the Intelligence attribute, so the only thing you need to do to be able to select it is to have an Intelligence of at least 6. Character level does not matter for the first rank of a perk, only the 2nd and higher ranks.

Have the required level AND SPECIAL. Pay attention, they require INT to be a certain number.

That's in fact relevant. We can't know if you broke something, if it's a bug unrelated to your save or if you're missing something with the GUI.

Scroll down the perks map, the perks are not sequentially chained. You don't need the level 2 perk to get the level 3. Just scroll down & pick it, if you meet its requirements.
