Gun Nut Perk - Is It Worth It?

Gun Nut is an Intelligence Perk in Fallout 4 (FO4). Learn if Gun Nut is worth it, Gun Nut's ID and ranks, as well as how to get and unlock Gun Nut.

Is Gun Nut Worth It?

Only Worth It to Buff Damage for Early Game Guns

Gun Nut is a useful perk to have to modify and increase the damage of your guns in early game, since the guns in the beginning stages of Fallout 4 aren't nearly as powerful as those that you will find later on. Generally speaking, you'll want to rank this perk up to Rank 1 or 2 only, as you will find unique weapons later on to replace these weapons.
