Computer Whiz (Fallout 3)

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

Effect
With this Perk, you get a second chance for hacking at any computer you were previously locked out of.

In Fallout 3
As with Infiltrator perk, Computer Whiz has debatable value. Any hacking attempt can be aborted prior to failure, after which the security will reset and it can be hacked again without consequence. In this manner, no computer will ever end up locked out.

In Fallout: New Vegas
In contrast to Fallout 3, there is now a delay between successive attempts (if aborted). Because of this and coupled with a high science skill, this perk can effectively act as a Force Lock for hacking, since the first attempt can just be going down all the passwords in sequence.

Behind the scenes

 * The texture file of this perk is called "perk_l33t_haxx0r", which is reference to Leet speak.
