Characteristics[]

Notes[]
Although each installment of this military manual adds a rank to the Covert Operations perk, the Fallout 4 loading screen hints incorrectly describe it as the "Infiltration" perk.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The title of issue 4 "Not the Soldiers You're Looking For" is a cultural reference to Star Wars.
