As you step foot in post-apocalyptic London and explore all that Fallout: London has to offer, one thing you certainly do not want to neglect are Perks. These function as additional Skills for your character to unlock, improving their capabilities in combat, chem-consuming, conversation, and much more.
The Perks menu is essentially your Skill Tree in Fallout: London, allowing you to spend Perk Points on improvements to your build. Though, there are some Perks you’ll pick up out and about in the wild, too. To help you figure out which Perks are best for you, here’s all Fallout: London Perks, what they do, and how to unlock them.
Perks in Fallout: London are a bit different to Traits. Think of Traits as something innate to your character that they possess from the very beginning of their adventure, while Perks are something that they’ll pick up along the way depending on their in-game actions and where they choose to spend their Perk Points.
Traits often have upsides and downsides, too, while Perks are typically positive. This isn’t always the case, though, as you find with the two rather unfortunate Perks given to you after the train crash at the beginning of the game: Lab Rat and Railway Spine. To learn more about the Traits you can choose, here’s our guide to the best Traits in Fallout: London.
All the Perks your character can unlock — ordered based on the stat that they align with — are listed in the below tables.
It’s also worth noting that most Perks have Ranks, meaning you can upgrade them more than once and get more out of them. For example, the first Strength Perk, Iron Fist, has five Ranks to unlock.
