Support Perks

Support perks are minor skills and abilities that a player can gain in addition to level perks.

There is no limit to the number of support perks that a single character can have.

To gain support perks, players are required to talk to an appropriate NPC. Some support perks can be gained straight away, some have specific S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and/or skill requirements. Some are given 'for free,' some require that one or more quest(s) be finished first.

Detailed information on any of the support perks that are currently available may be found on their respective pages, which are listed below, if you are missing SPECIAL to take a perk, you can boost it by drugs or armor perks

Note: You can get all support perks by using ~pat command if you are supporting server on tier 2 or above
