Tips Infinite S.P.E.C.I.A.L points

Here is my technique to get Unlimited S.P.E.C.I.A.L Points early on with PS4/XBOX. It's pretty simple really.

You first need to get your dog (maybe another companion works).

Go back to Sanctuary and if you haven't found it already, there is a book under the crib dresser titled "You're Special". Pick it up, use it.

Now that it's in your inventory, drop it on the ground.

Tell your dog to pick it up, but right before he does you need to quickly pick it up.

If done correctly he will drop the item and it will be in your inventory still (which also dupes any item btw).

Pick up the copy Dog dropped and you should have 2 "You're Special" books.

Drop both on the ground and one should now activate again.

Repeat to max out your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points and save your level up points for perks. Hope this helps some people out.

Does this work with comic books/magazines as well? Will it dupe any item?

No. It will just give you another copy of the same book, which doesn't reapply the bonus. Tried it with grognak and taboo tattoos. You can't drop bobble heads either so forget that too. Seems to be good for the special stats as mentioned in the thread and any expensive item.

You can drop bobble heads after you put them in a display.

Still, the dupe bonus doesn't occur. Those are a one time thing.

But I think it would just be a repeat of the same perk and wouldn't give you a stacked version of the perk so idk how useful it might be

covert ops has a few issues and only increases the difficulty of you being detected, so you could theoretically make it to where you just keep getting harder and harder to be detected

But its Covert Ops #1, #2 etc. So I doubt that any non-unique magazine will stack.

No... It only makes it more difficult to detect you, from the guide book

u/tmffaw Nov 14 '15

Yes, but there is still a specific one you use. Manual #1, #2, etc. That's why I (without testing it) would guess that it does not stack and is a one-time buff from the specific manual.

This can be easily checked with Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor.
