Fallout New Vegas Perk Requirements
The Skillzerk Weapon Pack adds over 100 weapons to loot lists, vendors, NPC’s and therefore the chemistry station for crafting. It includes new throwing weapons, melee weapons, guns, none lethal weapons and more. SEE THROUGH SCOPES. This mod adds new scopes to the vanilla weapons in Fallout 4 that have 2.5x and 4x magnification.
Perks Edit
There have been many changes to the Perk system in Dust. As in Vanilla New Vegas, there are different types of perks. In DUST, Regular Perks may be obtained once every level gained in the game. Most Challenge Perks from Vanilla New Vegas remain the same in DUST, and are obtained after undertaking and completing specific actions in the game.
As Vanilla, DUST also offers traits available during character creation time.
Regular Perks Edit
Almost all Regular perks in Dust have different requirements and effects than the un-modded New Vegas. Almost all of the regular perks have no level requirements whatsoever now. Some Regular Perks are roughly the same as perks in Vanilla New Vegas but have have been renamed, Some perks have had their requirements changed. Other perks have additional negative side effects now. Be aware that all of the requirements for obtaining a regular perk in the perk list at level up may not be listed in the game menu, so refer to the Regular Perks List below for a more accurate reference for Perk Requirements.

Gamebanshee has the full list of perks. They're sorted by the level at which they unlock. Just select from the list on the right hand side.
In addition, there are Traits, which are similar to Perks, but can only be selected at character creation (limit 2), and which have a negative side-effect in addition to their bonuses.
