Is 2 ranks in V.A.N.S. better than 2 ranks in Perception Training?
Posted On: September 27, 2023

Let's say I wanted +2 Perception.


I could.


Put two points into Perception.


Put two points into VANS; the second rank gives you +2 Perception.


Seems like for 2 points I could have +2 Perception, or I could have +2 Perception and bonus VANS pathfinding.


VANS pathfinding isn't the best perk, but is there any downside to taking 2 ranks of VANS instead of 2 ranks of Perception?


Question from user Schwern at stackexchange.


Answer:

The difference is that VANS gives a +2 bonus to Perception. It does not give +2 Perception.


This means that rank 2 VANS will not unlock Perception perks.
