Is Hacker Worth It?

Yes, You Can Prevent Getting Locked Out of Terminals

Hacker is one of the best perks to get since it can completely prevent you from being locked out of terminals once you reach Rank 4 of this perk. At earlier ranks, you can start hacking into difficult terminals, which may lead you to unique weapons, as well as shortcuts and access to turret controls in hostile facilities.

Fallout 4 Hacker Perk
Hacker is on Intelligence Level 4

The Hacker perk is unlocked when your Intelligence is at Level 4. You can start at this level by assigning 4 points to Intelligence during the Registration Form at the start of the game. Otherwise, you can get to this level by collecting SPECIAL magazines or bobbleheads and spending perk points upon level up.

After getting to Intelligence 4, you're free to spend perk points on ranking up the skill, as long as you are at the required character level to rank up.
