Fallout 76 is one of Bethesda's MMOs inspired by its major IPs (the other is The Elder Scrolls Online). The game started out rocky but has been steadily gaining traction since its release (especially since the Fallout TV show).

Like other Fallout games, Fallout 76 is celebrating the release of the new TV show by allowing players to create the major characters from the franchise (such as The Ghoul). In fact, they even made a handy guide for players to create their favorite characters. Here's how to create Maximus in Fallout 76.

Maximus in Fallout Explained

Maximus is a Squire in the Brotherhood of Steel who has been sent out with his Knight to capture a fugitive. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for Maximus, things go downhill on their mission, and he ends up obtaining his Knight's Power Armor and pretending to be a Knight himself. As he travels around the Wasteland, he eventually runs into Lucy MacLean and The Ghoul, the two other protagonists of the show. While they are a very unlikely trio (and didn't originally become allies), the three team up to take on the Wasteland together.

Maximus' Perks Breakdown

Bethesda posted on Fallout's X (Twitter) about how players can recreate the famous trio in Fallout 76. Thankfully, Maximus is a pretty easy character to recreate. The company released his Perks based on his S.P.EC.I.A.L. Stats, and it comes as no shock that the Brotherhood Squire has the highest stats in Strength and Intelligence.

Here is a breakdown of his Perks based on the S.P.EC.I.A.L. Stat they fall under.

How to Get Maximus' Outfit

Fallout 76 - Maximus Outfit-1

As a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, it is no surprise that Maximus uses Power Armor in the TV show, and Fallout 76 has a few options for Power Armor. Unfortunately, these armors aren't the easiest to obtain in the game, so players need to work for them. For the other characters, players need either Fallout 1st (The Ghoul's outfit) or Xbox Game Pass (Lucy's outfit), so having the armor already in-game is nice.

If players want to be authentic, Maximus uses T-60 Power Armor, but this is one of the hardest ones to get in the game. The pieces of the set are rare spawns and require a lot of work to obtain. However, they don't cost money or require a subscription like the other character sets.
