Forum:Does The Lucky 8 Ball Help Perk Requirements

Hi,

At the moment I have Luck 4. For the Better Criticals perk I need 6. If I were to get the bobblehead and Lucky 8 Ball that would total 6.

On this wiki it states that the Lucky 8 Ball can help with passing the requirement, can anyone confirm this?

Greets, Capman


 * The lucky Eight Ball is like a clothing item. It gives you one Luck, but it help you to meet perk requirements, since it's not a permanent effect. I would recommend using the Intense Training perk to rank up your Luck if it's too low.

You can also add 1 point to luck by killing Gen. Jingwei in Op: Anchorage. When you leave the pod it will put a message in the top left of the screen stating "good luck added." But YOU have to kill him, even if you don't do any damage to him until the final shot, the PC must finish him...SO MUCH!--JiNX Bloodfang 12:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That message and luck addition actually comes from getting your Lucky 8 Ball back which is removed from your inventory at the beginning of the sim. // Porter21 U 12:53, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe it bugged or gliched, but I had not done Big Trouble in Big Town(or even been to Big Town) at the time I finished the sim. One of the pages about either the sim or Gen. Jingwei made mention of it.--JiNX Bloodfang 14:25, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, all I can say is that the "Good Luck" message and effect is only referenced by the Lucky 8 Ball script and all killing Jingwei does is spawn Chase. // Porter21 U 14:54, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I stand corrected. Upon further review of the save prior to entry I did indeed have the 8-Ball.  I guess rebuilding the same character 4 times makes events kinda blend together.--JiNX Bloodfang 19:17, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
