Is Comprehension Worth It?

Best Perk for Skill Checks

Comprehension is the best perk to reach most dialogue, lockpicking, and hacking checks since it gives you a permanent +2 points when using skill books and a whopping +20 points for any skill upon using a magazine!

This aspect of Comprehension, in turn, allows you to invest more points into essential skills that unlock more perks. Furthermore, when paired with the Retention perk, they essentially double the efficacy of skill magazines!

How to Get Comprehension Perk

Reach Lv. 4

You can get Comprehension after reaching Lv. 4.

Leveling up quickly can be done by exploiting the Goodsprings side quest, getting the “Well Rested” bonus, and doing other side quests among others.
