Fallout 76: The Best Legendary Perks

Game: Fallout 76

Time: 2024-05-05

Legendary perks in Fallout 76 are a set of 26 powerful, passive abilities that players can equip to enhance their builds. The first legendary slot becomes available at level 50, with additional slots unlocking at level milestones 75, 100, 150, 200, and 300. Once a slot is unlocked, players can choose one legendary perk card to activate its bonus immediately, making it a key part of late-game character progression.

Each legendary perk has four upgrade ranks and can be leveled using "perk coins." These coins are earned by scrapping standard perk cards or reaching certain milestones on the Scoreboard. Upgrading a legendary perk costs 50 coins for Rank 2, 100 for Rank 3, and 150 for Rank 4.

One of the most convenient features is that legendary perk slots are account-wide. This means any new or existing character you create will have immediate access to unlocked slots, offering flexibility in customizing multiple builds—although the perks won't be fully ranked without further investment. Originally launched with 16 perks, the system was expanded to 26 with the Patch 21 Public Test Server update.

To maximize the potential of your perks, it’s also important to equip your character with the right Fallout 76 items. High-quality gear and consumables work hand-in-hand with legendary perks to boost performance, survivability, and overall gameplay efficiency.
