How to Increase SPECIAL & Skills in Fallout: New Vegas

Max out your SPECIAL stats and skills with the player.modav and player.forceav console commands and the right actor value names.

Your SPECIAL attributes and skills are stored as actor values, and two console commands edit them: player.modav (adds to the current value) and player.forceav (sets an exact value).

Raise a SPECIAL stat

Open the console with ~ (how to open the console). To set Luck to 10:

The SPECIAL value names are: strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck.

Raise a skill

To add 50 points to Lockpick:

Or set Guns to 100 outright:

All the value names

Every editable attribute, skill and derived stat (action points, carry weight, etc.) is on the character variables list with a description of what each one does. Use modav to nudge a value or forceav to pin it.

Tip: modav stacks

player.modav adds every time you run it, so running it twice doubles the bonus. If a stat ends up wrong, use player.forceav to set it back to an exact number.
