Fallout 76 Perks: All Perk Cards Guide for Beginners

In Fallout 76, Perk Cards are special abilities that shape your character’s build, boosting skills like damage, crafting, or survival. Unlike past Fallout games, perks are cards you equip under the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats (Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, Luck), with each stat having its own set of cards. This guide lists all Fallout 76 Perks Cards available as of June 2025, explains how they work, and offers tips for beginners to make the most of them.

Whether you’re a level 1 newbie or a level 100 player, this guide will help you pick the right perks for your playstyle.

How Fallout 76 Perks Card Works

• Unlocking: You earn Perk Card Packs at levels 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and every 5 levels after (15, 20, etc.). You also get one perk point per level to choose a specific card or boost a S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stat.
• Equipping: Each S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stat has a point limit (e.g., 15 max in Strength). Assign cards under each stat, but their total cost can’t exceed your stat points. For example, with 5 Strength, you can equip a 3-cost and a 2-cost card.
• Ranking Up: Combine duplicate cards to increase their rank (e.g., two rank 1 cards make a rank 2). Higher ranks give stronger effects but may cost more points.
• Swapping: Use a Punch Card Machine at your C.A.M.P. or train stations to swap perks or reassign S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points for different builds (e.g., combat vs. crafting).
• Level Requirement: Some cards unlock at higher levels (e.g., level 50 for max ranks). You need to be level 100+ to access all cards fully.
• Legendary Perks: At level 50+, unlock special Legendary Perk slots (up to 6 by level 300). These are separate from regular perks and listed at the end.

Tip: Save cards you don’t use yet, as they’re useful for switching builds later. Focus on one playstyle (e.g., melee, rifles) early to avoid spreading points too thin.

Tips for Beginners

• Pick a Playstyle: Focus on one weapon type (e.g., rifles, melee, heavy guns) to maximize damage perks. For example, use Commando for auto rifles or Gladiator for one-handed melee.
• Balance Survival: Early on, grab Lead Belly, First Aid, and Rejuvenated to stay alive. Later, add Fireproof or Serendipity for tougher fights.
• Team Play: If grouping, use Charisma perks like Inspirational or Team Medic. Share a high-cost perk (e.g., Blocker) with teammates for big benefits.
• Crafting Setup: Swap to Intelligence perks like Gunsmith or Armorer when crafting at your C.A.M.P., then switch back to combat perks.
• Mutations Synergy: Pair Class Freak and Starched Genes with mutations like Marsupial or Speed Demon for powerful buffs.
• Save Perk Packs: Don’t open all packs immediately. Save some for when you know your build to avoid duplicates.
• Level 100 Goal: By level 100, you’ll have enough cards to build a strong setup, like the Bashing Minigun RAID build. Farm XP in events like Radiation Rumble.
• Legendary Perks: At level 50, prioritize Taking One for the Team or What Rads? for combat or nuke zone survival.
