Here are the Fallout 76 perk cards revealed so far

If you are familiar with the Fallout game mechanics, you would know that stats are gauged through the games S.P.E.C.I.A.L categories. Fallout 76 sticks with it.

Fallout 76 perk cards

However, there is something new with Fallout 76's system as well. These are Perk cards that were revealed during QuakeCon 2018. The way it works is that every level until level 50, you are going to be able to allot points into your S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats which are namely Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. Now, in previous games, each of these handle different aspects of your characters abilities such as Strength affects your carry weight and melee power while Endurance handle your health and elemental resistance.

Along with a stat point, you also get a perk card that offer different buffs and effects. Bethesda boasts to have hundreds to be collected. You will then stop earning stat points after Level 50 but you can continue collecting perk cards.

You cannot equip all of your perk cards haphazardly. There is a system implemented for that. Each perk card has a point cost that will be counted against the S.P.E.C.I.A.L stat the card is assigned for. For example, if your Agility stat has 5 points in it, you can equip up to 5 one-point perk cards.

The perk cards can also be leveled up to augment its effect but it also goes up in point cost. So you will need to plan about your build and study perk card combination. A similar system is implemented in the game Warframe where mods can be equipped to different equipment but is only limited to the item's mod capacity which is tied to its rank.
