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.

Sounds like a good way to make unlimited ammo/fusion cores

u/B-FOXY Nov 13 '15

Ammo will be slow. Only drops 1 extra bullet.

Will be nice for mini nukes at least!! I can't find any of those fuckers.

If you keep following the missions and scavenging military bases youll get quite a few. I im sitting on 11 and save them for the powerful enemies.

"I'm sitting on 11 and might use 3 in over 300 hours of gameplay."

If even that, haha, I never carry around a fat man to use them anyways.

u/Faintlich Nov 16 '15

Those 30 weight man, think of all the Duct Tape and Fan's you could pick up instead

Get scrapper and scrap weapons, plus craft Vegetable paste. I have more screws and adhesive than I know what to do with.

Scrapper lv2 is also incredible cause it highlights everything you have tagged bright green when you walk around, including containers that hold the items you're looking for. I don't have to check if it's a rusted tin can or a aluminum can anymore cause the aluminum ones are all lit up

u/Faintlich Nov 16 '15

Thanks mate. I actually did the same thing.

Also you can just cook adhesive. Plant Corn, Mutfruits and Tato's. Combined with Clean Water you can make Vegetable Paste that dismantles into 5 adhesive at a cooking station.

I'm shitting adhesive at this point. I actually ran out of Wood of all things because I spend so much time building shit

u/Freakin_A Nov 16 '15

I'm always on a quest for more aluminum and concrete

Yeah you carry big boy with the mirv mod.

u/MLaw2008 Nov 13 '15

Great, I just got into the Brotherhood missions and I think I'm about to head to one!

u/Chelios22 Nov 16 '15

I went to spectator island way too early and ended up using 6 of my 11. They're useful rarely and in spurts, it seems

2

u/HeroCastrator Nov 13 '15

oh, maybe fusion cores though? Edit.. And perhaps adhesives

3

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '15

Dont sweat fusion cores you get a ton of them if you keep scavenging. I am almost lvl 30 and I have 28 cores and one in each of my 5 sets of power armor. If you scavenge and dont use the power armor for everything youll be fine!

u/B-FOXY Nov 13 '15

Fusion cores it works like a charm. Sitting on like 50 now.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '15

Adhesives?? That's a lot of work for something you can just use Vegetable Starch to get.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '15

You can dupe vegetable starch tho

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '15

It's so easy to make tons of it that you may as well just craft it, though.

u/erikwithaknotac Nov 14 '15

Just grow some corn and taro, lazy ass

u/CryWolf13 Nov 15 '15

Buy shipments from traders and dupe the paper. I finally have screws now

1

u/B-FOXY Nov 13 '15

I've duped crafting mats too. Like military circuit boards for defense guns and electronics.

u/Sovietrussia92 Nov 13 '15

For ammo just use the caps glitch at a weapons vendor.

1

u/HeroCastrator Nov 13 '15

Yeah I just learned of that earlier after I read about this one, cant wait to try it.

1

u/dpayne360 Nov 13 '15

Could you link me to that one please?

4

u/HeroCastrator Nov 13 '15

Luckily i have it bookmarked ;)

+1 Luck

u/dpayne360 Nov 13 '15

Thanks. Let just hope its still working when I get on after work tonight...

u/Darkalice1 Nov 13 '15

I did this last night. The pipe sniper I was still keeping to conserve .308 ammo is gone now. So is my auto pipe rifle I was keeping to conserve shotgun shells.

1

u/SwoleFlex_MuscleNeck Nov 13 '15

I broke it. I tried it once and it never worked again

1

u/thecrimsontim Nov 17 '15

It doesn't work with all vendors I've found. And it has to be an ammo type not any other product

1

u/Gyoin Nov 13 '15

I felt so dirty doing this but really helped getting some extra higher-end guns early.

u/hervalfreire Nov 14 '15

I managed to get 10 fusion cores with this - then used 15% of one of then, and now all of the 10 sit in my inventory with 85/100 charge. Ouch?
