Deep Sleep

Requirements: Level 22

Ranks: 1

“You sleep deeply no matter where you are. You get the Well Rested benefit of +10% XP for eight hours no matter what bed you sleep in.”

Really? This is a level 22 perk? Huh. Okay. Seriously, get Swift Learner at level 2. It’s just like this, but gives you a +10% XP bonus ALL THE TIME. Now if it let you heal anywhere, like on Oblivion… then maybe it would be intriguing, but it just gives you the XP bonus to any bed, instead of just ones you own. How disappointing. Even if this perk was offered at level 2, it would be a waste, but 22?

Puppies!

Requirements: Level 22

Ranks: 1

“With the Puppies! perk, if Dogmeat dies, you’ll be able to get a new canine companion from his litter of puppies. Just wait a bit, and you’l lfind your new furry friend waiting outside Vault 101.”

Okay, this perk is worthless… but it’s nostalgic. Who wants Dogmeat to become… well… Dogmeat? Dogmeat is great, and we all remember struggling to keep him alive through the super mutant base in Fallout 1, so it gets some positive recognition just for nostalgia and treating Dogmeat right, even though it’s still a waste of a perk.

Quantum Chemist

Requirements: Level 22

Ranks: 1

“You have unlocked the secret to creating Nuka-Cola Quantum. With this perk, every ten Nuka-Colas in your inventory is immediately converted into a Nuka-Cola Quantum.”

Nuka-Cola Quantums are rare, Nuka-Cola is not. But, Nuka-Cola Quantum is also fairly… well… do you really even need it? Really? Okay, they’re the only way to make Nuka-Grenades, but is that really that important? If you love grenades, this is the only way to ensure that you have unlimited access to Nuka-Grenades, and frankly, if you’re not chucking a Nuka-Grenade, you might as well use a Missile Launcher or Fat Man. Note that this perk only coverts Nuka-Colas, not Ice-Cold Nuka-Colas. To be fair, ensuring that you can always create Nuka-Grenades is more useful than all three of the Demolition Expert perks combined. Think about it, a Frag Grenade is around 100~ damage, +60% equals 160~ damage. A Nuka-Grenade can approach 500~ damage.
