Tough Guy

Tough Guy is a challenge and perk . 
==Challenge requirements==
This perk is rewarded by completing the "Tough Guy" challenge (have any limb(s) crippled 50 times).
==Effects==
Gaining this perk grants a 20% reduction to limb damage, decreasing the likelihood of being crippled.
==Notes==
* Jumping from a damaging, non-fatal height within walking distance of a doctor can help accelerate completing this challenge as long as one has the caps to fund repeat healings.
* Having the Adamantium Skeleton, Toughness, and Hit the Deck perks will increase the difficulty of completing the challenge.
** That said, once it is complete, they pair very well with each other along with Tribal Wisdom .
* Having the Small Frame trait will make it easier to obtain the perk, but the trait penalty will still ensure at least 5% increased limb damage.
* Hydra can be used while attempting to attain this perk, due to its regenerative properties which last a full minute. This allows the player to damage their limbs repeatedly during the drug's duration without needing to pause in order to use a doctor's bag.
* Some methods of easily crippling the limbs to attain this perk include explosives and traps which can be re-used, such as bear traps.
** Ranger Morales' corpse contains 4 bear traps that can be used to attain this perk, though they will eventually disappear after discovery.
** The Sierra Madre is littered with floor-based traps, bear traps especially and they don't de-spawn and can be re-armed and used repeatedly.
* Another way to accomplish this quickly is to damage the limbs while near to a bed; the player can cause as much damage as possible to their limbs, and then sleep in the nearby bed, regenerating both limb damage and health.
** A good place to do this is at HELIOS One inside the Western reflector control terminal out back where all the solar panels are. Inside the fenced off area where the terminal is, there are two bear traps that can be used and reused to cripple your legs. Once crippled, there are some tents set up just a few yards away with beds where you can sleep to heal, then repeat until you get the perk.
** A good place to do this early in the game is at the cache at the end of the unmarked quest Barton the Fink. The quest is available near Goodsprings Source, and offers an overlook complete with a mattress and three bear traps.
** On Hardcore mode, you will instead need to fast travel to an owned bed or a doctor every time you've crippled both your legs, or carry a small supply of doctor's bags or hydra (and probably some stimpacks too) in order to repeatedly cripple yourself on a set of traps without needing to travel anywhere.
==Behind the scenes==
This perk is based on Wolff's law, the practice of increasing the strain on a bone to make it stronger.
