You hack just a little faster.— In-game description

Melee Hacker is a challenge perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

Challenge requirements[]

This perk is rewarded after completing a series of challenges: first, the Up Close kill challenge (kill 50 enemies with melee weapons), which unlocks the Up Closer kill challenge (kill 75 enemies with melee weapons). After "Up Closer", complete the I Can Do It One Handed damage challenge (inflict 10,000 points of damage with one-handed melee weapons) as well as Two Hands are Better than One (inflict 10,000 points of damage with two-handed melee weapons). These two each grant a rank of the perk depending on which is finished first.

Effects[]

Gaining this perk grants a permanent increase to melee attack speed, increased with each rank completed:

  1. +5% Melee attack speed
  2. +10% Melee attack speed

Notes[]

  • The perk pairs well with Slayer and Ain't Like That Now.
  • Like most kill challenges, progress for the first two challenges is tracked cumulatively, i.e. completing Up Close means one only has to kill another 25 enemies to complete Up Closer.
  • The description on the Pip-Boy for "I Can Do It One Handed" mistakenly says 'kill' enemies with one handed melee weapons instead of 'do/inflict damage' like the other challenges of this type.
