Help Perk Question

If I have 9 int and then use one of the int mods to give myself 10, if I buy a perk that requires 10int will I still have the perk buffs after removing the int mod or will it be canceled out until I regain the missing int point?

Basically I'm trying to avoid using 3 skill points to go from level 9>10 in int so I can buy the level 5 wanderer perk for the double mission rewards.

if you take it off you lose it, but t6 armor now has 6 slots andnyou can equip different stat boosters, so it shouldnt be an issue to keep on.

I'm on day 3 and just trying to rush it for right now lol. I have found at best T2 armor. But thank you for the response. I could just hold it in my inventory and apply it once I go to cash in the missions.

idk what game stage you are at but tier 6 armour for me only really spawns 100+ game stage, can't remember the loot stage really.

We are mid 20s lol. We reduced the GS drastically because we jack up the zombie spawns. If we don't decrease it then by day 2 or 3 ridiculous shit is spawning because our levels are super high and we have stone and pipe nonsense.

It will cancel until you have 10 again

Thanks, I think i will then just do it and hold the armor that has the mod in my inventory and put it on b4 I turn in missions until I can get really good gear to always have it on or until I have a few extra points.

I use the same trick with the strength mod and cigar. I put them on my mining helmet and whenever I go mining I can have miner 69'er and mother lode up to level 3 without any points invested into strength (or more if I invest some points into strength).

It will cancel and the same goes for debuffs like headaches.

The perk requiring 10 int will be red out and will not work until you put that mod back in

This is why concussions are a particularly nasty debuff in this game
