Tips
  • The Educated perk is generally more useful early on to gain more skill points over time compared to Comprehension, which relies on finding skill books.
  • Comprehension can potentially yield more skill points than Educated if you find most of the skill books in the game.
  • Comprehension allows you to reach skill scores of 80 and then use magazines for difficult checks, whereas Educated would require boosting skills to 90.
  • The Cannibal perk might be useful in Hardcore mode for a small health regeneration from corpses.
  • The Entomologist perk offers a damage bonus against mutated insects, which can be helpful against creatures like Giant Radscorpions and Cazadores.
  • Rad Child provides health regeneration based on your radiation sickness level, but it is generally better to avoid high radiation.
  • Run 'n Gun's benefit is minimal as most one-handed guns are not very strong, and aiming while stationary negates the penalty anyway.
  • Travel Light's 10% speed boost is generally not considered significant enough to warrant a perk point.
