InXile’s Wasteland 3 sees big changes on the skill front from Wasteland 2, with several skills condensed down and perks arriving at a different schedule. This time around perks no longer unlock automatically at specific skill tiers — you have to actually buy them with perk points along the way starting at Level 4.

The perks themselves have seen a major overhaul, and now even non-combat skills have some decent advantages. Small Arms, for instance, has eight separate perks available, while Lock Picking has none and Armor Modding only has a single perk available all the way at the end when you hit Level 10.
