Ok being serious Aqua boy/ aqua girl is one of the most useful perk in survival mode since fusion cores weigh 4 pounds you can’t hold that many fusion cores at the start The cannibal perk is every useful for people playing the game without a hud or getting strongs affinity up Nerd rage is more of a clutch perk with if combined with Chem resistant and chemist can make you overpowered with the right gun Now stop making bad claims and go help another settlement

[@Kurdent]

Well in my opinion, it's worth wasting a perk point in aqua boy/girl just not to hear the radiation meter going crazy when going through a pond on walking in semi flooded area. There is a lot of things to find under water if you really want to explore and im sure that having to loose a lot of hp going in and getting annoyed by the sound may irritate you. Maybe not the most useful perk in term of gameplay but one of the best in term of sanity keeping

[@Riverlia]

It also save a lot of time backtracking when there's some water body in the way. Two point might be unacceptable, but in my experience, one point is an ok investment for a character that like roaming and exploring.

[@Kurdent]

Yes but we all have to keep in mind this in an open world RPG that encourage exploration. But since the game feel like an empty shell (just like vanilla skyrim) most people end up starting new character just for the fun of running around and going full on gun blazing on everything I did that myself... after the first couple of quest after accepting the fact i gave no shit about my son and only wanted kellog's jacket.

[@Paulunatr]

My thoughts exactly. It's a quality of life thing, and one perk point is practically nothing.

[@senatorarmstronger475]

there is actually a side quest that requires you to go underwater

[@justincredible5414]

Matante Kurdent Absolutely. The rad negation alone makes it.worth one point. I do thimknthe second rank is not necessary I got the first one really early.

[@leesegler401]

Aquaboy/girl perk is one of those perks that looks crap on paper but really comes in handy once you have it. I can't tell you how many times swimming across a body of water without dying of rad poisoning came in handy

[@Hedgehobbit]

Cane Richards It lets you use water to quickly and safely travel all over the map.

[@silverlions268]

Cane Richards agreed it is way better to just swim across some areas rater than use bridges or etc

[@JamesUpright]

It's even more useful in survival mode!

[@EATherridan]

Yeah, it's one I always get at least the first rank of. Rads can be easy to remove in the later game but early on, Aquaboy / Girl is priceless.

[@nicholi8933]

The main reason that I get aquaboy is so that I can just go through slightly deep water that gives me radiation. It is just nice not to have to worry about going through water. I just don't get the second rank, just the first.

"Picking a lock is so much easier and is a lot more mindless than hacking a terminal" Couldn't it be argued that that's a bad thing?

I think you misunderstand the point of "Nerd Rage" The benefits of Nerd Rage should only be used as a pick-me-up in a battle where you get slaughtered, its helps edge it out a little

[@jaeg.3806]

TetchyEquation Exactly, especially for a character with low endurance, as many high intelligence characters have. If it's no found useful it can be opted out of, which is why it's at the bottom of the tree.

[@TetchyEquation]

Jaelon Griffin I think it's useful no matter what, however I don't think it's a priority. I only get 10 intelligence by level 60 and only get Nerd Rage by level 70

[@dweebpatrol]

But it can be practically useless for some characters, like stealth characters who try to conserve their health won't get much use out of more damage at low health

[@jaeg.3806]

Nagato Uzumaki​​ Which is why it's at the bottom of the perk tree. A stealth character has no bussiness any further than 5 points in intelligence, and that's for scrapper. Logically speaking, if you have 10 of any stat you're using the bottom perk. That's a given.

[@jaeg.3806]

No-one just says "Let me grab 10 intelligence just because". If you have 10 intelligence you're basing your character around it, which is why that perk is there. A character based around intelligence will likely be squishy for a good chunck of the game, especially on harder difficulties, so a megaboost when they get low is the least they could recieve.

[@wlwlvr]

After watching several of your videos, I have concluded that all of your titles should include "in my heavily biased opinion". All of your points make sense as long as you first make the correct assumptions about the way someone plays the game. Several times you stated things along the lines of "such and such sucks because of power armor" or "just use power armor". I played through this game multiple times with different builds, and very rarely did any of my characters rely on power armor. In the first fight with a Deathclaw, sure. A couple of them used it to cross The Glowing Sea. That's about it. Another time you said instead of this perk you should take these two perks so you can just take as many drugs as you want. Never personally liked to rely on anything that you can run out of (except Stim Packs and Radaway of course).

[@thefurryduke]

Without a doubt. Currently Baron Von Duke is roaming the wastes with his two-shot combat shotgun, in roughly 110 dmg resist/120 energy resist armor. Sadly he weights about 90, but I have rifleman fully - no dmg resist perks, and strong back fully so it works well.

[@thomaskirkness-little5809]

[@poofbomb-minecraftmore1883]

Agreed. While I like a tank-y power armour build, I personally prefer a low-medium defensive build with good gun and melee weapon power. (Yes that means Railroad, but idc)

[@CarnalKid]

The onus is on you to understand that any video like this is the subjective opinion of the content producer, and that said content produce has certain biases, like anybody else. It's not their responsibility to needlessly qualify every statement they make, because some neckbeard is gonna get cranky in the comments.

[@milkmonstrosity]

We can all agree that the second point of Aqua is pretty pointless, but the first is a perfect convenience perk. No health chipping from entering water and total immunity to drowning, which allows you to leisurely explore the underwater terrain and find any bodies that fell in the water or submerged containers. In the defense of Hacker, many safes are also unlocked by terminals, and this can actually be used for easy XP if you keep resealing an electronic safe and lockpicking it. There are also some places with security doors that can't be lockpicked and need to be opened via terminal. I do agree that Toughness and Refractor aren't nearly powerful enough to justify the investment, but they have some advantages you might not have thought of. Firstly, Fallout 4 actually has a weird defense system. To put it simply, your armor value has breakpoints where incoming damage may be nearly ignored, somewhat negated, or able to pass through nearly unhindered. Having a slightly higher "threshold" means that you can possibly cripple certain weapons and attacks without needing your armor to pick up the slack. Secondly, this is a permanently available, completely weightless form of defense. The Hazmat suit has 1000 RAD RES, but no defense otherwise, which can be countered slightly with these perks. PS- Not everyone wants to go around hiding in power armour, we can, but it's so strong that it sucks a lot of the challenge out of playing.

[@Ouroboros63]

with the automatron dlc you can put a hacking mod on your robot which makes even master terminals pretty easy to unlock, it usually gets it first try but if it doesnt i just quicksave and make the robot hack the terminal again

[@Ouroboros63]

i also have a mod installed so i can have a robot companion and a normal one

[@SoupyMittens]

also in defense of hacker, I find alot of power armor suits behind terminals with advanced or above skill levels required. One time it was a nearly full suit of X0-1 MK.II that was behind an expert terminal that I couldn't unlock because I didnt have hacker

[@kokonautus5343]

Nerd rage is actually pretty good. It's more of a last stand-type skill when you are close to death. It's fitted in the intelligence tree as well, so even the egghead characters can get some boost without having to invest in endurance etc. Saying you can just use chems is kinda odd to me, as they have their own drawbacks like taking up inventory, having to buy or make them, they are addictive without perks in the endurance tree and a lot of companions dislike them. That's not even counting the fact that you can stack nerd rage with said chems.

[@arthurmorgan6390]

josh horton even on survival mode power armor isn’t necessary. The only times I used it was in the first fight with the deathclaw in Concord, and in the Glowing Sea. It’s just for weaklings who want to take the the challenge out of the game. And I definitely agree with you about Idiot Savant. Even on low luck builds, it’s ridiculously good.

[@rayquantum6677]

Arthur Morgan I don’t understand how people use power armor 24/7 because you have to repair it and power it. Repairing it isn’t hard (e.g t-45 requires like 30 steel and 2 circuitry to repair the entire set) but how do you get enough fusion cores. Each fusion core lasts 20 minutes(40 with perks) so that means you basically have to find a fusion core during each quest. Is your luck an exponential number?

Well the point was fair: you can play the entire game without the hacking perk. Every terminal you need to progress will provide you with either a easy level hack you can do at base level or the area will provide a password for you to find if you need it to progress. The locksmith perk is more useful in a sense that you will very often come across locks that needs picking. There's a lot more loot hidden behind locks than there is behind terminals.

[@thelrproject257]

vinyl these lists are bad because you only think of the majority of the perks usages with power armor and that is all you use(in your gameplay) moving target on survival difficulty with a melee character is crucial to survivability as a melee character which leads to my next point of iron fist, iron fist can easily be one of the most broken perks in the game when you pair it with the luck critical banger and better criticals and blitz along with rooted and moving target again you only called it bad because you can't use power armor. maybe some people don't want to use power armor fuck also on survival with no power armor toughness is a necessity on certain builds to negate early game squichyness. guess you just play the game on normal difficulty though so.

You forgot something pretty good with the cannibal perk in survival. Yes it makes you go straight from well-fed to hungry with no in-between, but it also takes twice as long to go hungry in the first place.

The Hacking mini-game is not about luck either, it's a logic puzzle.

[@Shishomuru]

The gaming Assasin When you pick a lock do your or do you not rotate randomly try, see that it moves a bit rotate some more and either get it or break the bobby pin? That to me is dumb luck, I know its about finding the sweet spot but half the time getting a lock regardless of the difficulty is all about dumb luck than anything especially if you get it on your first bobby pin. Also this is just observation but does anyone else break more bobby pins of very easy locks than they do on expert and master locks?

[@imnotgivingmyname2389]

He's arguing that lockpicking is more enjoyable simply because you don't have to try, where with hacking you usually have to put some effort into finding the right answer.

Friend of the night is best for a sneak/sniper non-power armor build.

I disagree with you on Nerd Rage. It is, in the words of Fudgemuppet, the ultimate safety net for a squishy smart character. Depending on your build, Nerd Rage can and will save your life. Their Scientist build makes great use of it throughout the game in general. When shit hits the fan and you're all out of chems or have a companion who doesn't like you using them, it will absolutely save your life. Even when it isn't as useful (late game) you always are aware that if some big dangerous enemy catches you off guard, you will likely live or kill it gloriously. If you don't ever use chems or plan on it, it is also useful. A high intelligence character may as well get the perk, as nothing BUT good can come of it.

[@zainiqbal4203]

Jaelon Griffin plus when I play, I really don't pay attention to my health meter (I know I should XD) so when nerd rage activates I immidently pop a stimpack. plus nerd rage in itself is basically a free jet without the chance of getting addicted I mean its not really good but it's there.

Your base is limited to 10, but grabbing the bobblehead after can raise it to 11, and the vans perk acts like a buff, so it can take it to 13 from there. You keep getting benefits from numbers above 10, like higher accuracy in vats and increased radar range outside survival.

[@Zafire063]

Aquaboy/girl is one of the best perks on Survival Mode. It's not even contested. I've played with and without it. Gameplay is so much more smooth with it, especially when you have to make trips to The Castle. It's also literally the fastest way to get from the Prydwyn to the Castle. Night Person is a horrible perk early game (especially on a Idiot Savant build) but a really good perk late game. I can push my intelligence really high (Sharp armor, Berry Mentats, etc), force idiot savant in a settlement with tons of large cages by crafting or just making fence posts, and get 1000-1400 experience a kill. As a stealth-only player, if you're serious about stealth at all you only travel at night. TLDR; It really helps late game leveling. Cannibalism is made to sound a lot worse than it actually is. People leave out the convenient fact (on survival) you only get hungry every 12 hours instead of every 6 with the Dark Craving "Debuff". This is actually a huge benefit in a lot of situations. One corpse fills you up too. You stop having to carry food around completely, and it still lowers your noodle cup consumption if you make those instead of purified water. There are respawning humans directly outside hangman's alley that make finding corpses to eat completely redundant. If it could go the route of NV and let you rip off human flesh to save for later it would be one of the best perks in the game for Survival, here is to hoping though right? XD I usually stay in Dark Craving status except when I have a companion.

Each of these places you discover using aquaboy nets experience, combine that with night person and go for a midnight swim, and you'll gain levels very fast.

[@alecbuxton4673]

The point of rad resistance is so you can wear any outfit like mechanics suit and receive less radiation during one of the storms other wise when not in power armour in order to receive less radiation during a storm you would. Be limited to your vault suit or the bos suit which give a basic resistance of 10 although it is better to put at least 2 points into it to get a resistance of 20 which would be close to a fully upgraded vault suit which gives a resistance of 25 and all because one of the worst features in fallout 4 is those radiation storms which crop up abut every 20 mins unless you play on pc and use the clear weather mod that aviods all the raining in doors and radiation storm's

[@phillip22722]

So fucking sick and tired of people saying Aquaboy/girl is a bad perk when it is not. It is highly useful. One of the added advantages is you can basically sell 99% of the Rad Aways you come across. They are worth a lot and you only need a few for the odd time you do soak up a lot of rads. This lowers carry weight by a bit. You also won't need to lug around junk like hazmat suits and change in and out of them(besides, they don't 100% protect from rads anyways). You don't need to waste a few moments changing in and out of the suit and back into your normal armor. Which decreases your carry weight again, allowing you to pick up more guns and junk to sell. The LESS stuff you leave the house with, the more stuff you can pick up on your questing. As someone who wants to pick up as much as I can, not only to get the supplies to build my settlements, but also to sell to vendors for caps, I want as little crap on me as possible when I leave my settlement. Usually only my normal armor set and a weapon or 2 and some stimpacks(cause they are weightless anyways). Not carrying radaways and rad suits around may only increase cap/scrap production slightly, but over the course of 3+ real world days of in game time it adds up to basically another perk in "Strong Back". It is basically what rank 5 of Strong Back should have been at the end of the day, long term. That's not even mentioning how nice it is to escape into water and swim away from enemies you simply don't want to fight while they look for a way to safely cross the water, you are already on the other side of it out of harms way. Rank 2 is perfect for stealth and survival builds as well. And when you get to Far Harbor, having both ranks of Aquaboy/girl is basically a MUST. On top of all that it is saves time. I already spend a lot of hours playing this game. Wasting even a few moments changing in and out of armor when it isn't to change to an upgraded armor piece is not something I want to do. I can be out there questing, getting supplies and finishing the game instead. It may only save a few moments at the end of the day, but the saying "time is money" exists for a freaking reason. To me, there is no reason not to get it early in your play through. The sooner you get it the better as it just adds up after while. The only build I can see not caring about it is stupid Power Armor builds. I hate power armor so freaking much in Fallout 4 and rather save my fusion cores for when I get a gattling gun late in the game. I do collect them cause, hello, cool stuff to display and save and sell excess of, but I don't use them. Even if you don't build the settlements, it is still useful, cause all the stuff you collect can be sold for caps to buy ammo, stimpacks, cool legendaries, whatever. So even if you are someone who doesn't care about the settlement building mini game, it is still highly useful. For me, I'd rather just spend the extra carryweight in lugging a few junk items back to my settlement, then lugging around a hazmat suit and radaways permanately in my inventory/ And as someone who doesn't use chems(once again, id rather just sell them for even MORE caps), and finding food to cook to increase carryweight is actually quite hard in my experience, every little bit helps. And none of this is even mentioning exploration. Exploration and being encouraged to explore the world of Fallout 4 is an important and cool and fun part of the game. This perk makes it easier.

Aqua boy/girl perks are actually pretty useful on survival mode first by remove rad damage from water second by giving you the ability to breath under water the reason these two abilities are so useful in survival mode is the fact that their is a river just past the corvega assembly plant that leads all the way over to a ton of important locations like diamond city, good neighbor, and the old north church so whenever I am playing a character that doesn't use power armor I pick up this perk because it gives me access to what is effectively an in game high way system which is super useful for getting around in survival mode

I've found no problem with nerd rage and it stops death really easily

[@andrewheskett6287]

Aquaboy level 1 is good, being able to just travel by rivers is safe but I never go level 2

[@chopper-unofficial4935]

Rank 1 of aquaboy/aquagirl is very useful in survival mode, as it turns water into a safe travel route along the east coast and all through far harbour

[@michaelstevens9096]

Well done, I find your videos really good, it allso really helps my experience with fallout.. Keep up the good work

[@RiotforPeacePlz]

I love cannibalism. You can eat like 70% of the things you kill and no longer need to keep food on you. Pretty good perk if using Lone Wanderer.

[@BlodMust]

If you have the Third and fourth perk in Strong Back at six strength it will count as you sprinting while overburdened, and that also stacks with the third perk of moving target, on survival mode you would also need Adamantium Skeleton to not take overburden damage, but all and all you can with those two or three perks make a build that can entierly ignore overburden and everything that reduces action point from sprinting or action point regain like Jet Fuel and armor mods you would would constantly move at a reasonably fast phase while being overburdened, just wont have the ability to sprint, but also always have the 50 damage resistance from Moving Target while just walking around.

[@magicmanscott40k]

That's really smart

[@stephenhornickiii]

@BlodMust In survival, the 4th rank of Strong Back stops you from taking damage from being overburdened. It doesn't say so on the chart, but it does. Also, from the Fallout Wiki: Note on Adamantium Skeleton - "This perk does not affect periodic leg damage when overburdened when playing on Survival difficulty." Just some FYIs =)

Nerd rage helped me a lot when I was battling the BOS for the institute ending

[@Mr.Scott86]

Yeah I feel like he didn't realize that the purpose of nerd rage is to save you when you're in a tough spot rather then give you buffs

[@johnirby8847]

It is probably one of the most op perks in the game! He doesn't know what he's saying. Your example is exactly why it's so powerful. I cleared Boston airport and the Prydwyn of people full of power armor in one trigger of need rage level 3!

[@boreragnarok4522]

It does not matter because you have no level cap

[@BaldianOfIbelin]

12:48 this skill plus the pain train would be useful? so to reduce the cost of AP

[@gildedvulture7965]

Isn't pain train a mostly useless perk anyway? Isn't it glitched?

[@louistaylor5917]

quick tip, do not use radiation immune perks, because all you need to do is the Cabot house questline. then side with lorenzo for a bunch of infinite free rad resist. i think in the thousands.
