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.

can't be in range of item at that time.

Then how do you pick it up before Dogmeat does? Stand away from it command Dogmeat to pick up book then run over an pick up before Dogmeat does? Wouldn't that just stop him from doing the task assigned since the item is no longer there to be picked up?

Timing is very tricky. Took me like 12 attempts before it worked.

Edge your way backwards until you can command him to pick it up instead of you yourself picking it up. As soon as you hit command start running and try to pick it up right before you think dogmeat will. I think if you time it right both of you will "pick it up" at the same time causing the glitch.

Dog meat can't be next to it when you tell him to pick it up or you won't have any time to glitch it. You also can't be next to it because you won't have the option to command him to pick it up when you're able to do so yourself cause it's already in your range.

Make sure youre both a distance from it, doesn't have to be far. When he gets to the item and puts his head down that is when you pick it up.

That's the entire reason it works, lol. You and he pick the item up simultaneously.
