![]() Sneak was a skill in Fallout 3, and you simply increased its value. In Fallout 4, the ranks of Gun Nut act as gates for modifying and crafting weapons. The Gun Nut Perk in Fallout 3 increased two separate Skills. ![]() Some of you had questions like: “What’s better, the Charisma SPECIAL, or the Speech Skill? Why are assault rifles in Small Guns?” Additionally many Perks simply raised associated Skills. The previous Skill system had some confusing parts and ended up spreading your choices too thin. It’s a system that Bethesda hopes will simplify things. Many of the things that Skills allowed you to do are still present, they have just been absorbed by Perks instead. This gives you the benefit of the new SPECIAL value, and allows access to higher Perks in future levels.Ī lot of you have noticed this already, but the new system also gets rid of Skills. That number also includes a top-level Training perk for each SPECIAL, so that you can essentially skip a regular Perk and raise a SPECIAL by 1. With Perk ranks, it increases that number to over 270. With each SPECIAL having 10 Perks, there are 70 base Perks. Strong Back doesn’t just up the amount you can carry higher ranks of it allow you to fast-travel while encumbered or even run while encumbered at the cost of Action Points. We also pushed old Perks to do new things at higher ranks. But you need to have chosen the previous 4 ranks of Iron Fist and be level 46. For example, the Fallout 3 perk Paralyzing Palm (paralyse enemies through hand-to-hand), now becomes the Rank 5 Perk for Iron Fist. It also allows us to fold Perks we liked from previous games into Perk ranks in this new system. This allows us to make some powerful Perk ranks that reward your investment in a certain SPECIAL as well as that individual Perk. These additional ranks do require your character to be a higher level. Gunslinger has ranks that up the range of pistols, add a chance to disarm enemies, and even instant limb crippling shots. Gun Fu above allows even more damage the more targets you select, increasing to instant Critical Shots. What’s important is that each of these Perks is actually a mini Perk tree*, with multiple ranks that also do new things. takes 25% more damage regardless of weapon). Take for example the Agility 1 Perk Gunslinger (20% more damage with pistols), and the Agility 10 Perk Gun Fu (your 2nd target in V.A.T.S. The higher the SPECIAL requirement, the more focused or exotic the Perk was for that playstyle. It was our goal that all the Perks be balanced amongst each other, regardless of if they required a 1 or a 10. Bethesda claims that not only will levelling in Fallout 4 be faster than before, the game will also feature no level cap. You get 28 SPECIAL points to start out with, if you want to start plotting out your character now. So a strength of 10 will give you a lot of strength-related Perks to pick from. In any case, the higher a particular SPECIAL stat is, the more the tree associated with it will unlock. It’s a beauty, huh? Reminds me of Fallout Shelter a bit, which is probably intentional.
