It HEALS you with radiation, which is everywhere, it almost completely negates the threat of the Children of Atom, and if you get it before you go to Virgil, you can go to the Glowing Sea without worry!

Scrounger is one of my faves, even if not using guns. One or two points dropped into it gives you tons of extra ammo that you can either use or sell for a fat stack of caps.

Another brilliant perk is Local Leader, rank one means you can assign supply routes between your settlements and thus share inventory (up to a point that is). At the second rank you get to build shops in your settlements that automatically generate caps for you.

yep, just discovered these two both, i literally now get everything everywhere.. go to my settlement to drop off the junk instead of selling it.. then go sell all the guns and such.. all the while teleporting everywhere to get my ammo up.. question, is there a particular dealer that offers higher caps? aside from grape mentat drugs

I love pack mule (I think it's called) being able to fast travel whilst encombered works great for someone like me you carries everything they find to convert into settlement resources.

Pretty good insight on which perk I need to focus on thanks to you. Playing on survival mode right now and I‘m having a lot of fun. Btw your video was very helpful ^^

add rooted rank 2 for 50% extra damage with krems tooth my sneak attacks do 3000 damage that 1 hits just about everything

I love the explosives perk, it allows me to do more damage with explosives, especially rank 3. Which gives a larger area and shows you where the grenade will fall. Very useful for people that love blowing stuff up

good job putting all of the damage perks together. I was thinking the same

I love how you acknowledge that your a little bias, because a lot of youtubers who make videos about fallout just stick to how they feel and to them it's the only way, I like that you don't try and force your viewers to have the same mindset as you, so I'm totally subscribing, thank you for the amazing video and I will definitely take your tips into consideration thank you again!!!!

Wow. You didn't mention my favorite. The taming perks. It awsome to be able to make half of the enemies fight each other. And I know it's a huge investment but it goes greatly with lone wanderer since you can make enemies like your companions. And nothing is more satisfying than making a few radscorpions kill a death claw for you. :3

I love the noises Idiot Savant makes xD

Great info. I didn't know you can keep leveling up. Of course there's no sense in not make your leveling as fast as possible, then, since you don't loose other perks by doing so. It's also good to know that Luck actually makes a difference in this game. It didn't in Skyrim, that's why I thought it probably wouldn't in Fallout either. -- Thanks for sharing. Subbed and Liked.

Fantastic video sir. This helps me narrow down the perks I can focus on in my own build. Much appreciated ^_^

the perk that allows you to shoot through cover is op, if i'm fighting a sentry bot I can shoot it's fusion core without him going into cool down mode,same with fighting power armor enemies

Desk fans and duck tape has officially become my favourite junk to find. I love upgrading my gun and they require a lot of screws amd adhesive!

i love this game, gives me so much nostalgia! shame u couldnt upload yesterday mate missed your content x

Super late, but i always liked doing a charismatic soldier build. I always use both Rifleman and commando to cover ranged and close range combat. Also armorer and gun nut are must haves, scrounger for more ammo and demolition expert for extra firepower. Toughness and adamantium skeleton, plus i grab steady aim for my auto guns and idiot savant for extra exp, and i put charisma to max to pass all dialogue options. I usually just run heavy type armor like the heavy synth or heavy combat. Those are my top ten perks for my favorite build

I really like lifegiver maxed out and solar-powered maxed out.

But those are damage resistance so they are pretty useless.. damage reduction from lone wanderer gives u more total resistance than both of those

I use vats for spotting landmines.

i think you can also mention that is you go for the lone wanderer perk , locksmith and hacker are essential very nice vid by the way.. i like the fact that you dint spend log time talking useless stuff like most ppl around and went straight to the point

Way back when- when I first played fallout 4- my first character had *NO* luck... and so I learned the hard way that luck was important. Looking at your list, you definitely listed the perks I most prioritize.

I think that all the pacifying perk's as well as the robot hacking perk is an OP combination because you can get enemy's to fight to for you.

My god. I have hundreds of hours in this game and never realized Dogmeat didn't count against the Lone Wanderer perk. I feel so noob.

Scrapper and pack mule, cause I'm a good damn cleptomaniac in this game. Just.....can't....stop.....taking hot plates. And duct tapes. And old, used light bulbs.

I know that feeling. It gets to the point where I want to collect junk items just to set up at my main settlement as decorations. Like...a fishing rod serves no purpose that to be scrapped but I can't help but get one so I can have it propped up in the corner of a room for a little added ascetic to give my home a little more realistic feel to it. Hell, in my garage area (I almost always make the Red Rocket Gas Station as my main home,) I actually will build a tool box for looks and try to fill it up with at least 1 of every "tool" junk item in the game...like hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, etc....just because I can.

Strongback for sure is a must especially for settlement building and I also use that with the robot companion modded at the robo bench to have a large carry weight like 450 so I can clear multiple buildings of loot before having to go back to the settlement to scrap or sell them

I agree with all the perks here, but i have a few perks that i'd like to add, as i consider them great. *Lifegiver* - Increases your Base HP by 20 for each rank, and on the third and final rank you also get slow HP regen as a bonus. Pretty basic, but you can't say no to more HP, plus it's pretty cost effective, you only need Endurance 3 for all three ranks. *Demolition Expert* - First three ranks Increase the damage you can do with explosives 25% for rank 1, 50% for rank 2, 75% for rank 3. Rank 4 doubles the damage done on top of the aforementioned boosts, but it's the other effects that make this perk shine, Rank 1 unlocks explosives crafting at the chemistry station, allowing you to make your own grenades, Rank 2 gives you a "throwing arc", a green arrow that shows you what the arc of your grenade will be, Rank 3 increases the area of effect for your explosives, Rank 4 doubles the damage that mines and grenades shot in VATS will deal. Perk cost is so-so here, you need Perception 5 for this perk and all its ranks, not too costly but not overly cheep. *Adamantium Skeleton* - Aside from being an obvious X-Men reference, this perk reduces any limb damage you take. Rank 1 reduces limb damage by 30%, Rank 2 reduces limb damage by 60% and Rank 3 eliminates limb damage completely. This perk is at its best when fully leveled up, since you take zero limb damage with Rank 3, you'd never have to worry about getting crippled by limb damage. That being said, this perk is more of a late game perk, having a high cost of Endurance 7, but it's worth it. *Local Leader* - This perk is actually important, regardless of whether you choose to live in a settlement with others or on your own. Rank 1 allows you to establish supply lines between your various workshop settlements, Rank 2 allows you to build stores and more importantly crafting stations for your settlements. This perk is a must have if you want to set up your own personal place to live. It's a bit costly, having a cost of Charisma 6 for both ranks, but definitely worth it, especially if you want to take full advantage of perks like Gun Nut, Blacksmith, Armorer, and Demolitions Expert. *Medic* - This perk is very, very useful. It augments stimpaks and radaway, allowing them to heal more with each rank. Rank 1 increases the effectiveness of both stimpaks and radaway by 40%, Rank 2 Increases them by 60%, Rank 3 increases them by 80%, and Rank 4 allows stimpaks and radaway to restore all health and remove all rads, as well as increase the healing speed. Medic is very cheap and a good choice for the early game, as you only need Intelligence 2 for all Ranks *Scrapper* - This perk is a must have for anyone looking to build their own settlements, it allows you to salvage rarer components and allows you to salvage more on top of that. Rank 1 allows you to salvage uncommon components, Rank 2 allows you to salvage rare components, and Rank 3 (Far Harbor needed) gets you more for salvaging. Cost for this perk is Intelligence 5, making it easy to get early on. *Fortune Finder and Scrounger* - Both of these perks fall under the same general category, allowing you to get more from the various containers you find, Fortune Finder nets you more Caps and Scrounger nets you more Ammo. Each also has a bonus on the highest rank. With Fortune Finder, once at Rank 4, there is a chance your opponents will explode into a shower of caps on death, and with Scrounger, once at Rank 4, there is a chance that you'll automatically get extra ammo for the gun your using when you fire the last shot in your clip. Both are very cheap and great early game perks, Fortune Finder being Luck 1 and Scrounger being Luck 2.

Yea, they are great perks to have, especially in Survival Mode (though scrounger can become a bit of a hassle in Survival unless you have a decent amount of carry weight). It's great to not have to worry about caps/ammo so you can focus on more important things.

I'll give a like just for the in game style notification! that was cool.

OMF I GOT IT! LAST MISSION FROM MAIN STORY AND I GOT 5X EXPERIENCE! AND IT GLITCHED! So total all I got the amt of usual experience which the last quest gives you times 6! ( idiot savant 5 times and the glitch one time! ) So overall I leveled up from 70 to 73!

I use commando build towards overseers guardian, 2 shot effect I think works better with full auto. Also love mixing commando and demolition expert with explosive auto weapons.

when running melee you'll also want rooted and blitz, i like to go high strength and agility to get those early, bc vats is a lot more useful for melee. high luck is also less important for melee as you always hit 95℅ or 0℅, and you can get the damage from str and lots of AP

Thanks a lot to confirm what are the best perks. I use almost the same setting. Only ninja and sneak. Not the rest of the pic stuff. But that how I like to play. But good to no . I went for a charisma bild with the moist of the top ten perks you are talking about Greetings from Holland and Cyril

I have played on Very Hard difficulty for many months without a companion. I put many limitations on my character like no fast travel no power armor and much more restrictions for immersion and difficulty hike sakes. But I always thought running with a companion made the game easier but that's not the case on my latest playthrough I decided to have a companion always with me (Not dogmeat) and I really miss the Lonely Wanderer perk. That 30% less damage taken is incredibly useful. Lonely Wanderer perk is amazing is what I'm getting at if you don't care for a companion it makes a huge difference and the carry capacity is why I always got it. But now I miss that 30% damage resistance.

Get this perk, all you have to do is level to 40 bro

@Francesco Casilla...I think he meant "picking a lock" but you can actually "unpick" locks if you want to grind out small amounts of EXP. Just find a door or gate that can be both picked or opened via a terminal. Pick the lock to open it and use the terminal to relock the door (if able to). Then just repick the lock and repeat. At a certain point, the amount of EXP is so small that it doesn't really seem worth it to do it in large chunks. But if you are close to leveling up and are looking for a way to try and squeeze out enough EXP to level up, you can try that.

Brb start fo4 again for the 50th time. For real good list dude. Helpful

Here's my thoughts on Perks. Some perks are Essential Perks i.e. the convenience perks (Strong Back, Locksmith, Hacker), the Damage perks (Rifleman, Commando, Big Leagues etc etc) and the Crafting perks (Armorer, Gun Nut, Blacksmith, Science). Excluding those, here are my Top 10 1) Local Leader so you can set up supply lines between settlements 2) Robotics Expert - hack robots FTW and also build Robot Provisioners FTW 3) Sneak / Ninja 4) Better Critical / Critical Banker 5) Sniper / Penetrator for the ability to shoot through cover or Power Armor and gain headshot damage bonuses. 6) Awareness so you can see enemies' specific resistances and plan your attacks accordingly. 7) Nuclear Physicist for allowing you to exploit a specific behavior of Fusion Cores if you are using a Gattling Laser and Power Armor. 8) Black Widow / Lady killer for both the speech check and damage bonuses 9) Ricochet - situational but imo the coolest situational perk. 10) Gun Fu sinks well with Critical Banker and Better Criticals

Late comment but the notifications at 7:56 are amazing :)

I got a very specific build where you sneak around with handguns, go strong in perception and agility, the rest is just add to your playstyle. But basically once you get past the 10 first lvls (on survival its not easy, not even close) but after lvl 10, things start to roll and it dont stop. I killed the fog crawler from so far I couldnt see it through the fog in vats... with a handgun. I sniped a Fog crawler on survival with a handgun. And when I say sniped, it was 20+ shots.
