You just buy a donor weapon with the mods you're looking for already on it.
Let's say you pick up Righteous Authority and you want to fit an Overcharged Capacitor to it but you have absolutely no skill in Science...
Visit a trader like Arturo or Ronnie Shaw and buy a standard laser rifle with an Overcharged Capacitor pre-fitted. Reverse engineer the weapon by adding a standard capacitor to it and you'll now have an Overcharged Capacitor sitting in your mod list...
You can then add the Overcharged Capacitor to Righteous Authority and you're good to go.
This approach works with any weapon and it works for armor mods also.
You may have to spend 500caps to buy the donor weapon but you can always make more caps, you can't get perk points back.
Is spending 500, 1000, 10,0000 caps worth saving 4 - 8 perk points..............absolutely.
