Forum:PLEASE HELP WITH EXPLOSIVE SKILL

ok im gonna keep this brief...

im an "explorer" gamer meaning i tend to do all side things and search every area of the map before getting too much into the story....with that said,

ive leveled up in fallout new vegas as far as i can go pretty early and did not happen to make my explosive skill high enough to finish the mission in vault 19(need 60 for how i want to complete it)

even with the implant and skill books/magazines(i dont steal by the way so thats ruled out) i still can't get it to 60.

any suggestions?

Sorry but you'll have to start a new game. There's no other way except glitching, modding, hacking, or console commands. Tezzla Cannon 21:29, February 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * have you also considered Mentats and what your wearing? The perception bonus will help - RASICTalk 21:31, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

Well with the books i do have and a skill magazine i can get it to about 40. what else (clothes,ANYTHING) would help or be best?

This is why you take Comprehension so you get 16 points from books and 20 from magazines.

i do appreciate the last feedback but that kinda doesnt help.


 * the Mentats will give +4 (+2 PER) to explosives that's certain, as for clothes I know most 'normal' hats give +2 (+1 PER), however as you need a +20 Explosive you esentilay need a +10 PER increse which may not be hard to find. - RASICTalk 21:43, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

I'll leave what I find gives Perception bonuses here:
 * Mentats (+2)
 * Coyote tobacco chew (+1)
 * Hats (+1)

If you really dont want to start again, you might wanna get dead money. It increases the level cap by 5 so you should be able to reach the needed explosives level. Chocolate pickles 10:14, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
