Forum:Computer whiz perk???

I was wondering has it been confirmed that the computer whiz perk will successfully let you complete the quest jiggs loot? Thanks.--Lordblak 15:30, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone actually choose that perk? It seems pretty worthless. If you're on your last password attempt, just back out and start over. According to the quest page, you can use this perk. LVTDUDE 17:25, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

This is pissing off to no end. I currently have 135 hours into this game. LVL 20, Hell I haven't even beat the game yet. I haven't even contracted "picking up the trail" yet. I played both DLC packs and have all unique weapons in this game except for this damn Xuanlong Rifle. I don't have that perk and nor do I want it, but when BS comes then it should give me a chance to retry that puzzle. Maximus is a mean killing machine that no one ever sees coming and it's only right to have all the unique weapons for his collection. Damn Puzzle.I was young and dumb when I did that puzzle.--Lordblak 20:24, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Well I for one certainly haven't confirmed it. But you can try it on an alternate save if you really want to (or don't save with the perk taken at all). The quest page says it works, so I'm guessing someone tried it. But be warned, Comp Whiz says it gives you one more chance at a locked terminal, and it really means ONE more chance. Well, at least that's how it works for Infiltrator. Perj 15:27, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

-Theres nothing really special about the Xuanlong, except its relatively high damage, its just as ugly as the rest of Chinese Assault Rifles (cool name though), if you really want a unique Chinese Assault Rifle just use the Glitch to carry them out of Operation Anchorage, I have two of em and they look as good as any PC mod that changes there textures, plus once you repair em they're durability is super high. If you already did OA you can do it again as long as you didnt get the Covert Ops Perk. In the long run though it might be fun to start over though, ive gone through atleast 12 characters on ps3, xbox360, and pc and i havent really had a perfect playthrough yet, might even have to start my incredibley close to perfect guy over again if Broken Steel changes alot of your SPECIAL and stat chances (i,e, you can get +1 strength or you know through a perk and character improvement.
