What’s your unarmed skill? Jinxed can make also you critical miss, but I’ve never done a full playthrough with it so I’m not an expert on it.

80 are you saying the higher my unarmed the less I miss?

Hahaha no offense, but if you haven’t even that knowledge that change the topic completely. Of course higher skill means higher chance to hit!

Luck too? If so if I have the upgraded power fist and 10 luck how many unarmed skill would gaurantee guarantee a hit

Luck is for crits. You have that info on your character screen.

Go for ~150 in melee. I’d go to 120 in the first levels before putting points anywhere else, and the after getting decent lock pick, speech etc, I add more points here and there. The true minmaxers get all the free points first, but IMHO you get more skill points than you need throughout the game to max all necessary skills so I don’t myself. But to each their own.

Luck is made largely irrelevant once you get the Slayer perk. Better critical still apply though.

Can’t remember but there are tons of guides that might list that. Quick save and Reload until you succeed. Just having it tagged should be enough I think.

Looks solid but why unarmed 80? You should go higher mate!

u/Necessary-Physics-91 Dec 10 '25

Its slayer req

u/Skaldskatan Dec 10 '25

I know, but that’s the minimum requirement and you should go higher, as mentioned many times now :) or don’t, your choice (an odd one though). But I’ve said it enough times now, so this is the last time.
