10 Must-Have Perks in Fallout 4

Amazon Prime's Fallout TV show has inspired fans to flock back to the wasteland's radioactive monsters and even more radioactive insults, with many now celebrating Fallout: New Vegas and its… interesting dialogue.

Bungie confirms the various perks that are available with the upcoming exotic class item for Destiny 2's newest subclass inside of the Final Shape expansion. It's been a great few weeks for Destiny 2 players, as the lengthy Season of the Wish was infused with the immensely popular Into The Light update back in April. Not only did this give Destiny 2 players something new to chase with 12 returning weapons, but it added a wealth of new activities like the wave-defense Onslaught mode, returning exotic missions, as well as the end-game challenge known as Pantheon.

A Fallout 4 player has speculated on a sinister backstory tying Vault-Tec's experiments and Sanctuary Hills together. Fallout 4, developed by Bethesda Game Studios, is set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by nuclear war. Players assume the role of the Sole Survivor, emerging from Vault 111 after being cryogenically frozen for over 200 years. The game is renowned for its expansive open-world exploration, intricate storytelling, and immersive role-playing elements.

In the Fallout TV series, it's revealed that Vault-Tec is willing, and even planning, to drop the bombs themselves as they have invested everything in the apocalypse. It has to happen or they will collapse, so they invite some of the biggest corporations in America to a shadowy meeting where they discuss how to bring about the apocalypse from which they will all rise as unstoppable monopolies.

Fallout 4's big next-gen update dropped a couple of weeks ago, and in true Bethesda fashion it was a bit of a disaster. While some couldn't access the update if they owned Fallout 4 via PlayStation Plus, it was PC players who ended up drawing the short straw, as all the update really did was break most existing mods for the title and implement a horribly stretched out widescreen feature, adding very little in the way of actual improvements.

In the wake of renewed interest in the Fallout series, a fan put together a collage that showcased how the Pip-Boy device changed in its designs over the years. The Fallout fan shared five different versions of the Pip-Boy designs that are most commonly used throughout the series, and other fans commented about which designs were their favorites.

Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV show has supercharged excitement in the Fallout IP, leading to a significant surge in player counts across a variety of Fallout titles on Steam, but also for Fallout London, a fan-created mod for Fallout 4 that may as well be an entirely new entry in the series due to the breadth and scope of the project.

The Gauss Minigun is a powerful, automatic ballistic weapon in that fires 2mm electromagnetic cartridges that explode on impact. This gun deals an immense amount of damage, has a large magazine size, and is accurate. The Gauss Minigun is an exceptional option for anyone who wishes to take down large foes.

Using their geography education, some in-game maps, and a screenshot from the recent live-action series, one Fallout superfan has been piecing together the approximate location of every single known vault and placing them onto a map of the USA. And now, a canceled version of Fallout 3 has filled in even more information. 

Fallout 4 next-gen update is now available to players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. The update brings native game applications for PS5 and current-gen Xbox consoles, alongside better framerates and other improvements and fixes. Bethesda had announced earlier this month that the Fallout 4 update would be free for all players who own the game on current-generation consoles. However, players who redeemed the PS4 version of the game via PlayStation Plus will have to wait to get the PS5 version.

With the Fallout TV series reaching new audiences and renewing interest in the games, we at RadioTimes.com thought it prudent to explain the Fallout 4 perks and skills system, as well as go over which to choose on the chart and why.
