Fallout 3 | Perks Tier List

Ghoul Ecology doesn’t give you +5% damage with all weapons, it gives you a flat +5 damage to all weapons, which is even better, meaning a lot of low-damage automatic weapons such as the minigun are ridiculously good.

FO3 perks are sloppy. You are forced to waste perk slots on bs perks early game and some builds feel like they're not worth it when you can just use small guns and breeze through everything.

[@ReapeeRon]

Yeah

[@lemmihilldrix1450]

Agreed, but that’s why you have to make it interesting for yourself! Turn the difficulty all the way up (if you haven’t already) and do a run where you can’t use any rifles or shotguns... only melee weapons and single hand firearms. If it’s still too easy, challenge yourself with a speedrun using ONLY melee weapons. Have fun!

Paralyzing Palm should get its own tier. For the record, you don't actually need to be completely unarmed to use it, just have an unarmed weapon equipped. It is my absolute favorite way to play Fallout 3 and yes it is extremely OP. This perk + a Deathclaw Gauntlet makes the game into easy mode. And this perk + a Deathclaw Gauntlet AND the Ninja perk just negates everything

[@ReapeeRon]

That is very true.

[@billykapard9863]

Yeah. I remember going full naked against the unarmed Behemoth with no weapons. Continuous stunlocking made sure the guy didn't get back up until he died. Ran the Xuanlong Assault rifle as a main weapon otherwise, but it was honestly more like a secondary.

[@KrimsonKracker]

Fun Fact: Even on Very Hard, Iron Fist lets you collapse Deathclaws to the ground with 3 hits in VATS while completely unarmed, no ability to get back up. Fallout 3 has a hidden "stamina damage" function leftover from Oblivion, allowing true unarmed attacks DEVASTATE even the strongest enemies in the game! 🤯

[@livthrudis2299]

I personally think educated is at least B since you can get a true perfect character with it. Also, ghoul ecology and superior defender add +5 each to EVERY BULLET, not just dps, so that means with automatic weapons or a combat shotgun you will be doing way more damage. edit: fixed some wording

I woukd rate Scrounger considerably higher than Fortune Finder, at least low B Tier. Fortune Finder is just a 10% chance to add extra caps to containers. Scrounger makes all containers effectively roll for ammo twice, and those rolls are not mutually exclusive, meaning you statistically get twice as much ammo. Selling that ammo is a far more consistent source of caps than Fortune Finder. It also means you find more alien power cells in all the containers they show up in.

Educated gives you +3 skill points per level to put in whatever you want, comprehension gives you an additional point per skill book, educated give you the points to put in the skills you want and comprehension puts them in set skills. Educated is better

[@TheTrueFool]

There's 25 skill books for each skill, so Comprehension potentially gives you 325 skill increases vs the Educated perk giving you 78 (assuming you take it at level 4). As long as you find like 1/4 of the skill books, you're going to get more increases out Comprehension. That being said, both perks are pretty unnecessary with a level cap of 30.

[@chriskoloski32]

Cyborg is just better toughness

[@TomSmith-dp9zb]

lawbringer is pretty decent imo, especially if you're hard-up for money and exploring a lot. maintaining very good karma and wiping out enclave soldiers, talon company mercs, slavers and raiders nets you 15 caps per kill essentially. you can make thousands of caps just fast-traveling around the map and doming low-level NPCs. contract killer, on the other hand, sucks because the only source of "good" non-unique NPCs are brotherhood members and regulators, which never spawn as frequently as talon company mercs.

[@theconmantube3449]

[@ACNAero]

Honestly, I think No Weaknesses does have a niche use. If you dumped an attribute to something like 2 where it would take multiple Intensive Trainings to get to 5, and there's a perk that requires 5 in that attribute that you want, No Weaknesses is a quick way to get the requirements for that perk in one go. Or if you need 6 in an attribute then use No Weaknesses and a rank of Intensive Training. So you know, not applicable to most playthroughs, but still enough of a niche that I think the perk should be more of a C-/D+ lol

[@oldieal7032]

I'm still not convinced on it. You can still get every good perk in the game by dump stating Charisma to 1. Master Trader and Animal Friend aren't worth a single perk slot, let alone the three perk slots you'd have to use to get No Weaknesses, Intense Training, and then either Master Trader or Animal Friend.

[@ACNAero]

@@oldieal7032 Depends what the goal of your character is. If it's just to get all the best perks, then yeah. But what if you, say, didn't dump CHR because you wanted the best chance to pass all the speech checks without save scumming, and thus dumped something like STR or AGI to do it, but still wanted the associated perks from them later in the playthrough? No Weaknesses could come in handy then. Still not anything to write home about, but not totally useless like a few others though.

21:19 I disagree with Lawbringer being D-Tier, it's closer to being in C-Tier considering how often you run into raiders (which count as evil). Not only do you get fingers from evil people, you also get the special raider that gives 1 000 caps when you give his finger to the regulators (I also think he carries a unique hunting spiked knuckles called Plunkett's Valid Points, he is in the same building as the luck bobblehead is). Only way Id agree with Lawbringer being D-Tier is if you are hellbent on playing a evil run, in that case it doesn't help to get good karma from cashing in on killing evil characters. Edit Changing it from B-Tier to C-Tier due to changing my mind.

[@SvengelskaBlondie]

@@Kenny-o6i It's like a nice extra, nothing to really write home about. Hence why I argued it's C-Tier (or at least closer to C-Tier than D-Tier), Edit: Changing my opinion, I think it belongs in C tier, I think B-tier was a bit too high for it.

[@someonenamedtailsdoll7805]

The main problem with nuclear anomaly is that, why would you take it when almost perfect is right there

[@oldieal7032]

I personally wouldn't put Concentrated Fire any higher than C-Tier. Any V.A.T.S. attack that would normally have at least a 55% headshot accuracy or a 69% bodyshot accuracy will reach the cap of 95% accuracy if you have the perks Wired Reflexes, Gunslinger, Commando, and Sniper. This means that you won't see any benefit from the perk outside of mid-to-long range. I'm also pretty sure that Concentrated Fire's accuracy bonuses are additions at the end of the accuracy formula, so they aren't boosted by the multiplicative bonuses of the aforementioned perks. As you can have a permanent maximum of 110 Action Points, the only weapons that can consistently fire more than 4 times in a row in V.A.T.S. are the 10mm SMG, the 10mm Pistol, the .32 Pistol, the Chinese Pistol, the Laser Rifle, and every one-handed Energy Weapon aside from the Mesmetron. This means that most of the game's more powerful weapons will not see an accuracy boost higher than 15% outside of using temporary enhancements such as Jet, Ledoux's Hockey Mask, and the Tribal Power Armor. Another issue comes with the fact that the accuracy bonus does not affect the first attack queued, which is the most important for dealing sneak attack criticals.

Compared to New Vegas, what I love about Fallout 3’s Perks is not only that you can get one every level (30 total Vs. 15/25), but you seldom run into any wasted Perk slots. - I always just mainlined Intense Training 3-4x to get STR and INT to 10, so I can make Melee Weapons & Unarmed more viable early game while leveling up faster. - Chemist isn’t as busted in FO3 versus in New Vegas, but it’s still an essential Perk here like in FNV! - 3x Demolition Expert to make full use of the Fat Man and Frag Grenades 🤟🏽 - Ninja if I went for a Stealth & Melee/Unarmed Build or Grim Reaper’s Sprint due to how overpowered it was in FO3; couple GRS with Action Boy/Girl and 10 AGI then you’re set for a VATS Only playthrough! - Educated is A LOT more useful in FO3 vs FNV since the lack of levels even after Broken Steel means you’re gonna be pressed to find Skill Books left and right to really get the most of your playstyle…and also get Comprehension if you plan to get 100 in everything (easier than you’d think) - Animal Friend is almost more busted in FO3 vs how peaceful it makes the Mojave Wasteland in FNV, so I recommend it if you’re not a wet blanket that uses CHR as a Dump Stat - Almost Perfect @ Level 30 + all SPECIAL Bobbleheads is definitely a great way to end your playthrough. - Contract Killer and Regulator (I forgot the name) were neat Perks that gave you more ways to play the game whilst bearing in mind how much Karma affects your perception from other NPCs/Companions - Mysterious Stranger was more viable in FO3 since the chance was much more than it was in FNV, at least in my experience lol - Strong Back is necessary in every build in any Fallout game - Fast Metabolism is pretty great in FO3 vs. in FNV, which kind of made returning Perks either unrecognizable or utterly useless at times - Silent Running was also way better in FO3, since you could literally hit the ground running with Power Armor Training after Operation Anchorage and your brand spankin’ new suit of Winterized T-51b Power Armor and SNEAK IN IT WITHOUT THE PENALTIES!!! In FNV, Sneak is still pretty busted…but Silent Running is half the Perk it used to be in 3 😢 - Pyromaniac + Shishkebab = never need to use another weapon EVER AGAIN!!! - Finesse is also essential - Toughness was pretty underpowered in FO3 versus the nearly triple effectiveness it had in FNV after two ranks…but it’s good enough to get you by until Level 10ish 😢 - Comprehension if you’re playing a dumb character. The Extra Skill Point from Skill Books is vital! - Cyborg is a more advanced version of Toughness in FO3, but they both go hand in hand 👍🏽 I could go on, but many of the best Perks are from doing the Quests in the game! Ant Might/Sight, Wasteland Survival Guide (perk effects are dependent on your choices), Wired Reflexes, Barkskin (another variant of Toughness), and Rad Regeneration (Hydra before Hydra but as a Rad-reliant Perk!)

Ever since I played through FNV's Dead Money DLC, I've leaned towards not taking Light Step just because this particular Fallout DLC essentially trains you to save scum through the more difficult sections of the Villa or the Sierra Madre. For Fallout 3, I lack the gamer discipline to not abuse this technique in my revisit playthroughs viz., going to Minefield to harvest frag mines early game for Moira. With that said, good job on the sorting. I'm approaching lvl 30 (again for probably the tenth time(!)) and can't decide what to dump my last perks into.

For the fallout 3 DLCs, Operation Anchorage can be done at any level as you are forced to use the equipment there, but you do get some really strong armor upon beating it. The Pit is best done at low to mid levels like 8 - 20 as a lot of enemies there don't scale really high. Broken Steel comes after the main games story so you will probably be high leveled.

Fortune finder is d teir if you are using the cap glitch

[@BlueSoulVibee]

In Fo3 you can actually get a perk every level, rather than every 2

[@vovasyhin7219]

Hematophage is far more usefull in TTW especially if you are in hardcore mode it will heal you by 60 points and remove dehydration by 60 as well, i thinks its also effected by the camel of the mohave perks, Further boosting dehydration reduction.

Pro tip: If you want views on your video, DON'T stack twelve advertisements in It. Can't watch.

[@ReapeeRon]

Thanks for the tip

[@dumbtweacz2150]

Good thing he took them off because I def wouldn’t have stayed and watched

[@kzxkzxkzx]

I like to get only meme perks to make the game harder lol

[@inspectahj]

comprehension is really fucking bad. You should never pick Comprehension since bobbleheads are really easy to get if you're an experienced player.

[@HereticalKitsune]

First thought on Fallout 3 before fully watching, lots of mediocre perks because many only have skill boosts.

[@acidman806]

Unlike New Vegas, the traps are kinda meh. New Vegas always only shots you with them traps lol

[@BM-rm9zy]

demolition expert does not work on bottle cap mines smh

[@Huntercantsinghbackin]

How do you get lone wanderer perk?

[@ReapeeRon]

You play fallout 4. Fallout 3 doesn't have that one.

[@Huntercantsinghbackin]

Oh

[@grandmashipreplacement3225]

Lone wanderer is also in fallout new Vegas

[@ElDrHouse2010]

If Finesse & Better Crits are not in S tier this list is trash. Good. I wasn't disappointed. 40:26 He messed up here, if your build is a 9 Luck build or lower the best armor is by far Reiley's Rangers or Chinese Stealth Suit. Power Armor sucks, it ruins stealth, the defense system based on a flat % where 75 or 85% is the cap is trash & this is the reason why New Vegas came up with the DR system & why FO4 pretty much did something similar. Armor matters the least of any Fallout game in FO3. Defense is one of the most useless stats in this game because Bethseda is inept. You are better off wearing the Vault Utility suit early game, or wasteland wanderer playing stealth then upgrading to the Chinese Stealth Suit.

[@justanegsfan]

you mixed up the names for educated and here and now but its ok

[@Haroldkastlekid]

Impartial Meditation is actually really good because in order to maintain the bonus you need to be neutral, and being neutral means no Talon Company or Regulators, which are the most common enemies you encounter randomly

[@dumbtweacz2150]

Or you could just kill them???? Did you just come out a vault ???????

[@oldieal7032]

Talon Company mercenaries are an excellent source for obtaining Combat Armor. Encountering more of them is always good.

[@enzozarate2910]

Educated is good or not?

[@ReapeeRon]

It's not needed, but if you have lowish INT then it can be good if you want to max out your skills. If you have High INT then it's usually not worth it, and if you don't mind skill book hunting then it also isn't as good.

[@enzozarate2910]

@@ReapeeRon thanks bro

[@TheTrueFool]

Fallout 3 perks were so bad.

[@aldmjr]

I would rank Swift Learner in B tier. Hear me out: I feel like you’re not considering competition or availability with these perks. Lv 2-3 perks include: Black Widow/Lady Killer Swift Learner Intense Training Daddy’s girl/boy Gun Nut Thief Little Leaguer You are stuck with just these perks at lvs 2 and 3. So you have to pick something other than BW/LK. I would argue that Intense Training is a real waste with Almost Perfect in the mix, so it seems like a suboptimal use of a perk point. Skill point perks are just not good, except for Gun Nut which has the most immediate impact on combat for any character (IMO). Swift Learner becomes obsolete by level 30 but there’s literally not much else to pick. Leveling up faster means getting more perks quicker. I think it stands above the skill point perks, at least.

[@dumbtweacz2150]

Tbh you’re a complete idiot….like seriously…faster perks for what?? The game is NOT that hard.

[@scyfrix]

I think Intense Training is still better for that purpose though. If you know you're going to have a couple of dead perk levels otherwise, you can build your S.P.E.C.I.A.L around the fact that you'll get a couple extra points from Intense Training and potentially squeeze extra perk picks out of it.

[@queensofthedthrone8267]

I wonder if getting your SPECIALs to 9 at level 3 is worth it because by then you will pretty much have conquered the game. Like what do you do? Just run around DC? Mod? Then isn’t SPECIALs irrelevant and also subject to modding? (I have never modded before)
