'''Nerd Rage!''' is a [[perk]] in ''[[Fallout 3]]'', ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', ''[[Fallout 4]]'', ''[[Fallout 76]]'' and the ''[[Fallout: The Board Game]]'' expansion ''[[Fallout: New California|New California]]''.

Whenever your [[Hit Points]] drop to 20% or below, your [[Strength]] is raised to 10 and you gain 50% to [[damage resistance]].

A combo of 35-40 DR protection (average power armor or 100% condition combat armor) and Nerd Rage effect allows to reach max DR (85 percent DR), which means only 15 percent of damage points affecting health, which is '''four times less''' than the 60-65 unresisted damage percentage, the average for a heavy armor user. At the same time, it is possible to replenish health in small portions by consuming food or water, without stopping the effects of Nerd Rage.

You've been pushed around long enough! With the Nerd Rage! perk, your Strength is raised to 10 and you gain 50% to damage resistance whenever your Health drops to 20% or below.Fallout 3 in-game description

Nerd Rage! is a perk in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and the Fallout: The Board Game expansion New California.

Fallout 3

Effects

Whenever the Lone Wanderer's Hit Points drop to 20% or below, their Strength is raised to 10 and they gain 50% to Damage Resistance. This stacks with other perks, and applies regardless of clothing, which makes it still useful even if the Lone Wanderer wears heavy armor, as it can help maintain their DR even if said armor is damaged or broken.

A combo of 35-40 DR protection (average power armor or 100% condition combat armor) and Nerd Rage effect allows to reach max DR (85 percent DR), which means only 15 percent of damage points affecting health, which is four times less than the 60-65 unresisted damage percentage, the average for a heavy armor user. At the same time, it is possible to replenish health in small portions by consuming food or water, without stopping the effects of Nerd Rage.

Fallout: New Vegas

Effects

Whenever the Courier's health drops to 20% or below, their Strength is raised to 10, and their Damage Threshold is boosted by 15. This effect stacks with similar bonuses, and applies even if the Courier is naked or their armor is broken; they merely need to meet the health threshold.

The Courier's base health determines the trigger for this perk. Bonus HP from other sources such as Buffout or the Thought You Died perk will not raise the threshold.

3 INT 10, LVL 50 You now gain 40 more Damage Resistance and do 40% more damage while Nerd Rage is in effect. Kills you make while enraged restore some lost Health. 00065E38

Notes

  • Unlike previous versions of Nerd Rage, due to the diminishing returns of Damage Resistance in Fallout 4, one should no longer consider the primary benefit of Nerd Rage to be the additional damage reduction, although it does help in a pinch. Instead, the slow-time effect and the damage bonus are the primary defensive (and offensive) mechanisms.
  • The damage bonus lasts as long as the Sole Survivor is below 20%, however the slow-time effect only lasts about as long as a normal (unmodified by Chemist) dose of Jet.
  • It is possible to repeatedly re-trigger the effect by healing the player character above 20% and then taking enough damage to drop back down below 20% health.
  • If time is already slowed from a Jet-based drug, then the player character won't get much extra benefit from the slowed time, though they still gain the damage and damage resistance bonuses.
  • There can be buggy interactions if this perk is triggered during VATS (giving the player character the bonus damage and resistance but not the slow-time effect), though re-entering and leaving VATS tends to help.

Notes

Unlike previous versions of Nerd Rage, time does not slow down due to the multiplayer nature of Fallout 76, however a boost to the Action Points regeneration rate is given instead.

Fallout: New California

Nerd Rage! is added to the game by the Fallout: New California add-on. When in a fight where they are about to be killed, the player character can discard this perk to nullify all damage and instantly kill the enemy.

Notes

  • Because Fallout 3 has a DR cap of 85, most or all of the 50 DR bonus may be ignored under certain situations (such as a combination of fully fixed Medical Armor, Med-X provided by the armor and Med-X injected separately)
  • Similarly, while Fallout: New Vegas does not feature a similar cap on DT, 20% of pre-DT damage is guaranteed to go through, regardless of how high a player character's DT is. As such, in certain situations, an increase in DT may yield little to no benefit.
  • If one is having difficulty determining how much 20% of their health is, this is the same amount of health needed before one begins to hear the heart beating audio effect.

Behind the scenes

The perk is based on Adrenaline Rush, a perk which had first appeared in Fallout 2. The art is also borrowed from Adrenaline Rush, save for a few thematic changes.

Bugs

  • PCPC Xbox OneXbox One In Fallout 4, Nerd Rage may stop activating when health drops below 20%. This issue can be temporarily remedied by bringing up the Pip-boy then closing it while your health is under 20%. It is not currently known what causes the issue. (Bug is confirmed to occur with all ranks of Nerd Rage). [verified]
    • This problem can be fixed by removing and adding the perks via the following console commands in order:
    • player.removeperk 00065e38 (skip if you don't have Nerd Rage at rank 3)
    • player.removeperk 00065e37 (skip if you don't have Nerd Rage at rank 2)

    • player.addperk 00065e38 (adds Nerd Rage rank 3)
  • PCPC In Fallout 4, the slowing of time may sometimes be cancelled by chems such as Jet. It sometimes also happens with V.A.T.S, giving you real time speed in V.A.T.S.[verified]
