Perk & SPECIAL - Basics

SPECIAL Dictates Your Playstyle

In Fallout 76, your progression as a player is dictated by how your SPECIAL looks like. Your SPECIAL will help you refine your character and help you play the way you want to play in the wasteland!

15 Points Max Per Attribute

Each attribute in your SPECIAL will have a maximum of 15 points that you can spend on it. However, you will only be able to accumulate 50 points while leveling up, so choose your attributes wisely!

Choose Which Attributes To Level Up

When you level up, you will get points to add to your SPECIAL. attributes. It is up to you which attribute you want to spend the point on to progress your character's level and skills.

Attributes Points Cannot Be Reset

Careful! Once you choose which attributes to boost in your SPECIAL you cannot change it later. Read up, and think whether the attribute you are boosting will be able to help you in your overall survival in the wasteland!

Perks Are Cards You Can Equip

Your Perks are cards which you can equip with your character. They will be divided into the same categories as your SPECIAL attributes, and will augment your abilities to help you survive out in the wastelands!

Perk Cards Have Costs

Perk Cards do have a cost to equip. More specifically, the number on the top left corner of the card is the cost. The level of your attribute will be able to pay this cost.
