Two Instead of One Perk Point

If you find a Perk Shard, you will be given three possible options: Take All, Take, or Learn. Take All and Take will activate the shard immediately, awarding you 1 free Perk Point.

However, due to a glitch, if you choose to Learn it, it grants 2 free Perk Points, allowing you to learn more Perks.

There's no guarantee this glitch will continue to work in the future so take advantage of this glitch to level up your skills faster!
