melee skills WILL suck...(reaching -1000%)

Discover how to fix negative melee and unarmed skills in Fallout Tactics, even after game updates. Learn about the vehicle crawl glitch and its persistent effects on your stats.

Hey there! So, you've probably noticed some weirdness with your melee and unarmed skills in Fallout Tactics, maybe even dipping into negative numbers like -1000%? Yeah, it's a known thing, and it's usually tied to a glitch involving crawling into vehicles. Don't worry, we'll figure out how to deal with it.

There's this glitch where you crawl into a vehicle, then head into a new mission or a special encounter. The game sometimes glitches and leaves you standing, but with the bonus stats you'd normally get while crawling. The downside? Your melee and unarmed skills can take a serious hit, often going negative even if your character isn't equipped with anything. This seems to happen across different game versions, like 1.25 and 1.27.

Quick Tip for Money Woes: While we're talking about glitches and stats, if you're also struggling with cash, try enlisting a character with high gambling skills, like Stumpy. By investing his skill points into gambling and using him a few times, you can win money from mechanics, the medical officer, and the quartermaster at the Gamma Outpost. Just remember to save and reload if you don't get the results you want – it's all about trial and error!
