Electrical
Overview
Electrical governs generators, hotwiring, electronics dismantling and a range of advanced crafting recipes.
Why It Matters
After the grid fails, Electrical is what keeps freezers, lights and tools running via a generator. It also enables hotwiring (alongside Mechanics) for anyone who did not take the Burglar occupation.
Fastest XP Methods
Dismantle electronic items — radios, televisions, watches — for steady XP and useful components. Skill magazines unlock the ability to actually connect a generator to a building.
Best Books
The Electrical book series, tiered 1 through 5, plus the generator magazine that teaches generator connection specifically.
VHS Priority
Electrical VHS tapes give bonus XP; the generator magazine is the genuine priority pickup.
Common Mistakes
