How do I upgrade Science ? It's not a perk or at least I cant find it.

[Prodigal]

Hi, I am new to fallout 4 and I wanted to know what Perks are the ones that increase science and the ones that allow you to hack/lockpick higher levels of safes/terminals. I might just be stupid or blind but I dont now where to upgrade these.

[Fitzy]

It is a perk... Science lockpicking and hacking are all perks... ffs so many lazy, useless fools asking redundant nonsense.

[k1rage]

I think the hacking perk requires 6 int and the lock pick perk is the 4 perception perk

[InstableMonster]

science itself is a perk under intelligence

You've pretty much just named the perks, they're on the perk poster in your pip-boy. If you've leveled up you go to your pip-boy, press T, select perks and play some more.

Right click/drag the poster up and down to see all of the perks.

So, I found it out. I did not know that you had to scroll down to find more perks. I suck ass at this lol

Yes I just found it out by moving around on the perk menu for like 15 minutes lol. Thanks

Although, to be fair it never tells you anything. But I am still a noob

Your Pip-boy will tell you when you have a perk available. To look at the chart, Pip-boy-Status-T for the chart, on the PC. Lock picking and hacking are on level 4. Science is on 6.

Open your Pip-Boy and you'll see a little guide under the display that says "Perk menu" next to a key. Press that key with the Pip-Boy still open, and a chart will come up.

Underneath each SPECIAL attribute, there are ten perks, each one requiring that stat to be at a certain level to get the perk. In order to upgrade Lockpick, you'll need a Perception of 4. For Hacking, you'll need an Intelligence of 4, and for Science! you'll need an Intelligence of 6.

The first rank of each perk is available immediately, but to gain further ranks you'll have a level requirement - Lockpick 2 requires level 7, Hacking 2 requires level 9, Science! 2 requires level 17.

To access all the key perks you need to craft in-game items and get access to locations, you'll need Strength 4 (for Armorer and Blacksmith), Perception 5 (for Locksmith and Demolition Expert), Charisma 6 (for Local Leader), and Intelligence 7 (for Medic, Gun Nut, Hacking, Science!, and Chemist).

In character generation, that only leaves three more points for other attributes. If you don't want to make chems or explosives, and you won't be upgrading any melee weapons, you can get three more by dropping Strength to 3, Perception to 4, and Intelligence to 6 - because you won't need Blacksmith, Demolition Expert, or Chemist.

A good balanced setup for character creation is S3/P4/E3/C6/I6/A3/L3 which can get you through most of the game. If you want to access all those perks from jump, however, you end up with S4/P5/E2/C6/I7/A2/L2.

You can increase a stat instead of a perk at each level, so you can also just top up a stat you set too low in character creation by gaining an extra level or two so you can reach the desired perk. .

Folks who have played FO3 and FONV have a leg up on those who haven't. We know about the conventions and perks and etc. Don't sweat it. Ask any question you want.

Thanks, Fallout community seems to be very helpful and nice. It has become my favorite non-multiplayer game and is tempting me to play the old games to see what started it all.
