Fallout: New Vegas Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

Level-Up Perks

  • * In Shining Armor (Level 1, Repair 20, Science 70): This perks gives you a +5 to damage threshold (DT) when wearing metal armor, and +2 DT when wearing reflective eyewear.

    * Junk Rounds (Level 1, Luck 6, Repair 45): This perk gives you recipes for making regular ammo (not hand load) at reloading benches by using scrap metal and tin cans in place of the usual lead, powder, and primer. (Note that you still need the appropriate cases and hulls.)

    * Light Touch (Level 1, Agility 6, Repair 45): With this perk, wearing light armor will get you a +5 to your critical chance, and will reduce enemies' critical chance against you by 25%. (In theory. Playtesting showed no increase in critical chance no matter what armor was worn.)

    * Old World Gourmet (Level 1, Endurance 6, Survival 45): This perk reduces your chance of alcohol and chem addiction by 25%, gives you a 50% health bonus when eating snack foods, and gives some health when you drink scotch, vodka, and wine.

    * And Stay Back (Level 10, Guns 70): This perk gives you a 10% chance of knocking an enemy down every time you shoot him with a shotgun.

    * Heavyweight (Level 12, Strength 7): With this perk, all weapons that normally weigh more than 10 pounds will only weigh half as much.

    * Hobbler (Level 12, Perception 7): This perk increases your aiming percentages for shooting people in the legs in V.A.T.S. mode by 25%.
