Every Fallout 76 perk card revealed so far

We've learned a lot about how Fallout 76's perk system will work as we get closer to the game's release on November 14. At every level until level 50, you'll stick a point in one of your 'S.P.E.C.I.A.L.' stats—Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck—and pick a perk card, of which there are hundreds offering various buffs. After level 50, you won't be able to increase your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats, but you'll still get new perk cards.  

Each perk will have an associated point cost, and will be linked to one S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stat. You'll only be able to equip cards up to the value of the corresponding S.P.E.C.I.A.L.: with a strength stat of three, you'll only be able to equip three one-point perk cards, for instance (or one three-point perk card). You can also upgrade existing perks when you level up, ramping up their power, but also increasing their point cost. 

Up to level 10, you'll get a 'perk pack' every two levels, which will contain four random cards (plus a joke and a stick of gum), encouraging you to experiment with perks you wouldn't normally pick. After level 10, you'll gain a pack every five levels. You can swap cards in and out when you want, so you won't be locked into any of your choices.

Below you'll find every perk card we know about from our hands-on time with Fallout 76. Most have the details of the perks spelled out, though there are a few cards we currently only know the names of. As we get closer to Fallout 76's launch, we're sure to learn about new cards, and we'll update this list when we do.

Cards added to our list recently are marked with an asterisk (*) below, as are those that have changed since we first saw them.
