(+2 temporary) (+4 if taken twice) Buffout drug. Use the chip with the computer in the Brotherhood of Steel bunker in San Francisco. You can get to it with a strength of 7 and a crowbar (use the crowbar on the door) (consider using Buffout if your strength is too low). It is behind one of the doors which is jammed on the second floor. You can find this chip in the vault within Vault City. +1 via surgery, +1 via perk, +3-4 via armor (while equipped), +1-6 via drugs (temporary)Ī strength above 7 is usually unnecessary during character creation. (And nab the Advanced Power Armor and Blue Memory Module while doing it!) Make sure to give to the plans to the Brotherhood of Steel before the Shi, because the Shi will simply take the plans, where the Brotherhood will give you a copy! Strength (+2 permanent, +9 buffed) To gain access to this machine without killing anyone, complete Get the virtibird plans for the Brotherhood of Steel.
Combined, you will get +6 strength from taking 2 Buffout and 2 Jet. Taking Jet (+1 strength) two times will give +2 strength.
