Perks

Perks are permanent character upgrades purchased with points earned through levelling. They are different from Skills, which improve by performing related actions.

Current perks

The perk names and per-level effects below come directly from the current game definitions. Use the cost and confirmation shown in-game when buying the next level.

Perk	Effect per level
Immunity	Increase Max Rad Immunity by 5
Morale	Increase Max Morale by 100
Life	Increase Max Life by 100
Luck	Increase chance of finding better items
Strength	Increase strength by 1%
Defense	Increase defense by 1%
Speed	Increase speed by 1%
Agility	Increase agility by 1%

Spending points

Later perk levels can cost more than early levels, so spreading points and specialising have different trade-offs. Before confirming a purchase, consider whether your current bottleneck is resource capacity, survivability, combat effectiveness, or loot quality.

Perk changes may be restricted or costly. Treat the in-game confirmation as authoritative for the current cost and effect.
