I'm trying to qualify for sniper with an implant,


My stats - Required stats
per 6 - 6
agil 10 - 6
lvl 18 - 12


It also doesn't qualify me for better criticals, so clearly that implanted perception isn't doing its job. Should I just add it from console? Am i doing something wrong?

yikes i was planning to bump up perception with an implant just for better criticals, has this been confirmed? yet another bug? shoot this was part of my build

Only permanent stats count towards perk requirements.

So implants, clothing, skill magazines and stat boosting food/drink/chems will not work to get around perk requirements. Otherwise, what happens when the effect wears off or you remove the implant/clothing? You go below the requirements.

I though tthis might be the case, but since you can't remove implants, I dont get it.

I bumped both my perception and luck up with implants to get the better crits perk, and it worked perfectly for me.

Implants worked just fine for me to get better crits I got an implant for luck, and perception right before I leveled up, and was able to get it. Before that i had a 5 in both. Sounds like you have a glitch.
