Hacker allows you to bypass security and unlock doors you might not be able to pick. Science will help you to craft better armor and weapons, Nerd Rage will give you super strength in an ambush when you’re running low on HP and Medic gives your Stimpacks a healing boost- they are basic needs for your survival. Here are the Intelligence perks you’ll need to make The Scientist work in this order: Once you get the feel of the Wasteland you’ll want to quickly level out the Intelligence perk to 10 so you can unlock all 10 levels. Take your time searching inside and directly outside of Vault 111 you’ll find a lot of goods there. I recommend scavenging as many healing aids as possible before venturing out in the Wasteland. You’ll die a lot as you’ll have limited ammo and you suck at combat. The first few hours will be a bit rough with this build.

I’d recommend you start this character gameplay with the following stat setup:īasically, you’re a socially-awkward genius. This character build is based on the Intelligence attribute and the supporting characteristics you’ll need to get the most out of this style of gameplay.

STRONG BACK for the extra weight and ROOTED to decrease damage while standing still. More items equals more chances to recover health. Put some investment in STRENGTH so you can deal a bit more melee damage if you find yourself fighting an enemy at close range as well as the ability to carry more items. ACTION BOY/GIRL is great to regenerate your action points so you can run even further. This allows you to move in and out undetected. SNEAK perk is the one you should max out as soon as possible. While these perks are the ones you should focus on in the beginning, you’ll want to invest your points on all the ENDURANCE perks.ĪGILITY should be focused on so you can easily sneak around the terrain and your ranged weapons do more damage and you can fire quicker with this tier. RAD RESISTANT is very important so you can keep on trucking through the radiation damage. Put your points in the TOUGHNESS perk to gain resistance to all damage, LEAD BELLY so you don’t take radiation damage to food and water, allowing for easier health recovery, LIFE GIVER to increase your maximum health, AQUABOY/GIRL so you can swim in water with no damage and become undetectable while submerged. This also allows for you to be able to spring for longer distances for those times you need to evacuate. This will help you survive the longest while you get acclimated to the controls and to the world of Fallout 4. Put your points in REFRACTOR to gain energy resistance and in AWARENESS to see the enemy's’ weak points easier.ĮNDURANCE needs your most attention. PERCEPTION will let your character make the most out of your ranged weapons by making you more accurate using the VATS system as well as deal more damage. This is so you can maximize your HP and resistance to the dangers of Fallout 4. For a beginner, you’ll want to focus most of your skill points in the PERCEPTION, ENDURANCE and AGILITY tiers.
