Nerd Rage!

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

Effects
Whenever your Hit Points drop to 20% or below, your Strength is raised to 10 and you gain 50% to Damage Resistance. This stacks with other perks, and applies regardless of clothing, which makes it still useful even if you wear heavy armor, as it can help maintain your DR even if said armor is damaged or broken.

Interestingly enough, 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.

Effects
Whenever your health drops to 20% or below, your Strength is raised to 10, and your Damage Threshold is boosted by 15. As in Fallout 3, this effect stacks with similar bonuses, and applies even if you're naked or your armor is broken; you merely need to meet the health threshold.

Notably, 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.

Effects
Nerd Rage! is a perk in the Nuclear Winter battle royale mode. It requires 3 SPECIAL points to equip.

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.

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

 * 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).
 * This problem can be fixed by removing and adding the perks via the following console commands in order:
 * (skip if you don't have Nerd Rage at rank 3)
 * (skip if you don't have Nerd Rage at rank 2)
 * (adds Nerd Rage rank 1)
 * (adds Nerd Rage rank 2)
 * (adds Nerd Rage rank 3)
 * 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.
