Fallout: London is a complete makeover mod for the popular role-playing game, Fallout 4. The mod was in development for five years before being released in July 2024. As the name suggests, the gameplay takes place in the City of London, England.

This means that players need to understand what each stat is, the impact they can have on gameplay, and where to put attribute points for specific builds. It is easy to make a mistake during character creation, and end up with a set of stats that simply don’t work.

6 Perception

Be More Aware Of The Environment

Perception is the main stat that Fallout: London players who want to specialize in ranged combat will want to invest in. Some builds, such as a sniper build, rely on high Perception to be able to target specific body parts when using VATS from long range.

Additionally, higher Perception makes it easier to spot lootable items and enemies in the environment. This combines well with a ranged damage build, as enemies will be spotted from much further away, and can be engaged at range before they spot the player. Another benefit of a high Perception statis that it will greatly improve the player’s skill at lockpicking.

More Health And Stamina

1 Luck

We All Need A Little Luck Now And Then

Luck Stat In Fallout London
  • Increases crit chance

The Luck stat should not be overlooked by Fallout: London players. It has an impact on many of the core gameplay mechanics, providing either overt or hidden benefits in many scenarios. In combat, Luck directly impacts critical hit chance, and can also randomly mitigate certain negative effects.

The higher a player’s Luck stat, the more chance they have of finding more loot, and better grade loot as well. This means that Luck also has an impact on crafting and modding, as the player is more likely to find the materials they need if they have high Luck.
