Perks are more important than ever in Fallout 76 since the game is now online-only and you need to gain an advantage in whichever way you possibly can. Our Fallout 76 Perk Cards Guide will explain all of the perks in the game in great detail so that you can decide which ones are the best for you and your playstyle and ideal FO76 character builds.
Fallout 76 Perk Cards
The perks in the game still seem to follow the S.P.E.C.I.A.L system of old from previous Fallout games, but they work differently in the sense that you need to equip Perk Cards in order to use them. There are also multiple different ranks of each card that grant you additional benefits if you upgrade.
There are many different perks available for you to choose from. Let’s go ahead and find out what all of the Perks along with their Attributes do.
