The value of perception

[nick16]

So, same question as I had with Dexterity a while back.
How much is perception worth for a heavy melee character?
By itself, probably not much, but I plan to utilize Snooping to get some hidden passaged, which I hope will ease me through the areas containing non-organic security.
As far as I found out so far, the best way to survive the mines in the junkyard is bandages and quicksaves, so it's really only hidden passages in the early- and mid-game (Afterwards, I hope to smash through) and.... I suppose that's it?
Will 5 do, or can I reduce it by one to get more Constitution or will?
The first two points are probably going into strength so I can wear heavy equipment.
Edit: Actually, there may be stealthed enemies. I'll go with 5 Perception, and in turn, only 5 will and 9 constitution, as well.

It's worthless for melee. Snooping + per goggles + per food is good enough for most perception checks, and you can solve the rest later in the game when you get access to a specific medicine.

To detect traps invest some points (40-60) in Traps skill.

Paranoia is a nice feat, more detection, initiative and reduced chance to be critted.

Detecting stealthy characters is hard in this game, 5 per is not sufficient. There are detection goggles. But I wouldn't count on it.

What do you need Will for?

This is a spam account. You need perception to spot them.

Damn, didn't notice. Why are they doing it though? Link in op has noopener noreferrer (which means internet crawlers won't follow it) and crawlers tend to ignore forums either way.
