Peter, Layla, Brian and Jeff can pick 3. If anyone else wants to pick a peck of perks, lemme know.0
-
I will take Better Criticals and Electric Bugaloo for now.0
-
Just want to make sure. I can pick 3 on top of what I already have correct?0
-
That is correct good sir.0
-
If I can have a level 20, this is my list
1. Heavy Handed
2. Grim Reaper Sprint
3. Walking on Sunshine
If I can't have a level 20, I'll pick something else in place of Walking on Sunshine, but not sure yet what.
I have a question regarding "Nerd Rage / Desperation / Last Stand: Requires 7 INT / PER / STR (respectively). Whenever you are below 25% HP, your damage with energy weapons / firearms / melee weapons is tripled and your DT is increased by 50% You may choose this perk more than once."
What does it mean I may pick this more than once. Do perks disappear once I use them?0 -
Yeah I'm pretty sure you'll be level 20 so that sounds good.
In regards to these perks, all the ones you see on this page are permanent unlike the ones earned in the Hero's Enclave. It says you can take Nerd Rage / Desperation / Last Stand more than once because although they have the same effect, they are essentially three different perks that affect different weapon skills.
So for example, if you have a high INT stat, it would benefit you more to take Nerd Rage because it affects you're damage with energy weapons. However, if you have high INT as well as high PER or STR, you can also take Desperation and/or Last Stand in addition to Nerd Rage.
Peter for example has high PER and INT, low STR so it would benefit him to take Nerd Rage and/or Desperation, but NOT Last Stand.
Brian has high STR and low INT so the only one that would benefit him would be Last Stand.
Hope that clears it up for you.0 -
Oh how I want to pickpocket, but...
1. Better Criticals
2. Trigger Happy
3. Desperation0 -
I should have picked all three. Those are cool perks, but can wait till next time I pick, if that ever happens. We'll see.
Thanks for the explanation. Still, walking on Sunshine was picked less as a perk and more as motivation to get more miles with my feet. I need to motivate myself more, I don't want any more weeks with weight gain.0 -
Ha, actually I don't think it's a good idea to pick all three. Maybe two at the most. Three is probably unnecessary unless you like carrying a bunch of different weapons around. But I left in there in case there comes a point where you don't know what else to spend a perk on.
Did you want to change out walking on sunshine for one of the Nerd Rage / Desperation / Last Stand perks?0 -
No. Walking in Sunshine is picked to give me incentive/motivation to walk/run more than I do currently. Can I still do the Asking a Lot challenge or does it end Wednesday? If so, the Walking perk will be real good to have.0
-
And I do like dwarves, carrying around a lot of weapons is the norm. Haha.0
-
I will bestow a one time [Overseer Favor] so you may complete the quest a week late! Im not sure how many miles you've done already but if you think you can finish it by Wednesday midnight PST, then we can redact it

I will choose these three.
Energy to Spare:
Mysterious Stranger (Combat Version):
Double Trouble 2: Atomic Bugaloo0
