Why is my perception 1 in Fallout 4?
Perception 1? Are you sure you're not just playing a character that forgot their glasses at home? Jokes aside, sounds like a debuff. Rad poisoning, injuries, or even some quirky gear might be the culprit.

Did you accidentally equip something that tanks your Perception? Clothes and armor aren't just for show in the Commonwealth; they can seriously mess with your stats. Double-check your gear!
One word: Bug. Fallout 4 isn't exactly glitch-free. If you can't find a legit reason for the drop, might be time to reload an old save.
Ah, the mysterious case of Perception 1! It's likely because you've been hit by an enemy with a Perception-lowering effect or you're suffering from some kind of status ailment. Fallout 4's wasteland is full of surprises that can affect your stats temporarily. Check your status in the Pip-Boy under the 'Stats' tab to see if there are any active effects on you. A quick trip to the doctor or using the right chems can fix you right up!
