Computer Whiz (Fallout 3)

Computer Whiz is a Fallout 3 and a Fallout: New Vegas Perk.

"Fail a hack attempt and get locked out of a computer? Not if you’re a Computer Whiz! With this perk, you can attempt to re-hack any computer you were previously locked out of."

Warning! This perk, along with infiltrator, are considered wastes by most players, as by saving right before you attempt a hack and reloading every time you fail makes it possible to try infinitely until you succeed.

A nearly identical alternative to taking this perk is to simply exit the terminal when you have only 1 allowance left and then attempt the hack again. This is essentially the same effect as this perk, but infinite, if you are unwilling to load a save upon a failed hack. This won't allow you to access already locked terminals, but if you employ this method it will prevent any terminal from ever becoming locked.

Behind the scenes

 * The texture file of this perk's icon is called "perk_l33t_haxx0r.dds", which is reference to Leet speak, a alternative alphabet used by some Hackers.
