Strength Training

Strength is the measure of your character's raw physical Power. This directly affects how much you can carry at a time and also affects the damage dished by melee attacks. Invest skill points on this perk if you want to unlock more perks in the same tree or to access higher ranks of your unlocked strength-related perks.

Iron Fist

Channel your chi to unleash devastating fury! This perk is useful for pugilists or players who want to get up close and personal and let their fists do the talking. This is also a good starting skill for aspiring One Punch Man builds.

Rank Req Effect
1 STR 1 Punching attacks deal 20% more damage
2 LV9, STR 1 Punching attacks deal 40% more damage and chance to disarm opponents
3 LV18, STR 1 Punching attacks deal 60% more damage. Unarmed Power attacks has a chance to cripple your opponent's limbs

5 LV46, STR 1 Punching attacks deal double damage. Criticals in VATS will paralyze your opponent

Big Leagues

Swing for the fences! This perk increases the damage you can deal with melee weapons, ranging from blades to bludgeons.

Rank Req Effect

Armorer

This perk allows you to use the Armor Workbenches to enhance the armors you'll find in the wasteland using crafting components for better protection. This perk also allows you to enhance some of your settlement objects and the ability to create your very own Power Armor station in any of your workshops.

Rank Req Effect
1 STR3 Gain access to LV1 armor mods
2 LV13, STR3 Gain access to LV2 armor mods

This perk increases heavy gun damage by 20%. Some examples of heavy guns are mini-guns, flamer, and fat-man nuke launcher.

Steady Aim

This perk improves the hip-fire accuracy when firing any gun. Hip-fire is just firing your weapon as is, without entering VATS or looking through your weapons' sights. This might be useful for heavy weapons like mini-guns and flamers.

2 LV24, STR 10 When inside a Power Armor, sprinting into enemies will even more damage and stagger them. (robots and large enemies can't be staggered)
3 LV50 STR 10 When inside a Power Armor, sprinting into enemies will massive damage and will knock them down. The shockwave from an impact landing will inflict heavy damage to nearby enemies.
