|---|---|---|---|
 Crazy Science |
Level 20 in Crafting | Increases the sale price of crafted items by 10%. +1% per Perk level. |
You could sell better using other items that you have. The small increase in sale price doesn't make this skill worthwhile. |
 Mechanic |

This skill is useful for obtaining crafting materials without having to loot caches. |
 True Craftsman |

You're more likely to loot better Rare items, but this skill can still be useful when you have Rare Crafting Specs. |
 Scrapper |

Makes disassembling items much more efficient, but this skill shouldn't be a priority. |
 Workshop |
7 | Disassembling items grants a 20% chance to gain a free component of the same quality as the disassembled item. Additionally, there is a 5% chance to gain a free component of higher quality than the disassembled item. |
The small increase in chance doesn't make this skill worthwhile. |
 Innovation |

Consumables are scattered all over the game world, which makes this skill beneficial to you if you loot them often. |
 Sapper |
9 | Grenades deal 10% more damage. |
Essential skill that makes grenade more effective at killing a group of enemies. |
 200% Efficiency |
11 | Crafted clothes gain 5% more armor. |
You're more likely to loot better clothing, making this skill not worth your perk point. |
 Field Technician |
11 | Crafted weapons deal 5% more damage. |
It would be better to look for weapons around the world, but this skill can still come in handy when you have Crafting Specs for high-quality weapons. |
 Ex Nihilo |
12 | Grants a 20% chance to craft an item for free. |
The chances of crafting a free random item are too low for this skill to be worth it. |
 Grease Monkey |

 Efficient Upgrades |

These perk ratings make no sense. It's like they were made by someone who didn't actually play this build or invested like 5 points at it and didn't undertand why their items were garbage
