If you are an explorer with a focus on surviving the harsh environment, you’ll want to invest points in Endurance and Perception. If you want to maximize role play, you’ll want to invest points in Charisma. If you like ranged combat, investing points in Strength is a bad choice. Maximizing the power of your build comes out of your own play style.
These perks have their own upgrade progression, making them stronger with each level. Investing points in these stats unlocks up to 10 levels of perks you can also invest into. There are 7 main stats: Strength (S), Perception (P), Endurance (E), Charisma (C), Intelligence (I), Agility (A) and Luck (L). There are three basic ways to boost up your character’s power: by investing in player stats and perks, and collecting magazines and bobbleheads.
