Take the Reinforced Spine perk included in the Old World Blues DLC to increase it to 10.

Usanagi at the New Vegas Medical Centre to increase it to 8.

Now I'll go into detail on how to max out each individual stat: You will also need to wear glasses, so you may not be able to wear Power Helmets. You will also need to take the Intense Training perk 9 times, so remember to make allowances with your level-up perks. In order to max out your Perception, you will need to get the Lucky Shades item, which is located at the Caesar's Legion Safehouse - so try and stay on their good side until you've gotten the keys to the safehouse if you intend to work against them. This is just the way I personally did it, but there are different ways to do it - I chose to raise my Intelligence to 9 to make it easier to max out all of your skills, which is fairly easy to do providing you take the Comprehension perk and collect the extra skill books hidden in the DLCs. I chose Wild Wasteland, which doesn't affect SPECIAL. You can take the Small Frame trait if you need an initial boost to your Agility. (You will NEED to buy 3 of the 4 DLCS - Dead Money, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road.)įirst off, when you first interact with the Vigour Tester machine in Doc Mitchell's office - set your starting stats as follows:įollowing this, you need to take the Four Eyes trait and another trait of your choice, if you wish. If you wish to max out your character's SPECIAL, follow my simple guide below: On the Xbox 360 version, so I can guarantee there were no console commands involved. I've heard people say that it's impossible even. Unfortunately, Fallout: New Vegas made maxing out your SPECIAL quite a bit more difficult. This was easy enough in Fallout 3 - you practically tripped over skill books everywhere you went and with the Almost Perfect perk, it was easy to raise your SPECIAL to 9 across the board, then collect all of the Bobbleheads in order to bring them all up to 10. I love to collect every item, finish every quest and max out all of my characters' stats and abilities.
