Is Rad Child Worth It?

Best Passive Regeneration Perk

While radiation poisoning hinders your SPECIAL stats, the bright side of not having to rely on items for healing is exceptional. It is recommended to maintain 400-600 radiation to heal 4-6 HP/s without fully hindering yourself.

Overall, Rad Child is a high-risk, high-reward perk that is relatively strong even in Hardcore mode. Look to prioritize getting this perk if other Level 4 perks do not help your build!
