Fallout is known for its quirky perks and skills. From blowing enemies up into bits of gore or having wild animals fight for you, there's a great deal of freedom in how you build your character.

Returning from Fallout and Fallout 2, traits are unique, permanent alterations to your character you can select during character creation. All traits come with a positive effect and a negative effect, arguably excluding Wild Wasteland. Wild Wasteland will not be ranked in this list since it doesn't follow the common trend of traits and adds more wacky references to the game, and the enjoyment of said references is entirely subjective. Regardless, here is every trait in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout: New Vegas ranked from worst to best.

Updated February 6th, 2021 by Charles Burgar: With another year of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout mods, fans of New Vegas have reinstalled this classic RPG once again to experience the game once more. Creating a new build is a core part of starting a New Vegas playthrough, a part of that process being the selection of traits. To make this process a little bit easier, we have added brief trait descriptions to each section to explain exactly what they do.

15 Kamikaze

A Trait Entirely Worth Skipping

There is no good reason to take Kam🌟ikaze. It grants ten additional Action Points while reducing your Damage Threshold by two.

Damage Threshold determines the amount of damage you can mitigate through armor, which this trait permanently reduces. Ten Action Points can easily be earned through Agility, something another trait offers. This trait is a waste of space.

14 ♌ ▨ Loose Cannon

Only Works For A Niche Player Build

Loose Cannon increases a𝓰ttack speed with thrown weapons by 30% while reducing the range of said weapons by 25%.

There isn't anything awful about this trait, but it only affects thrown weapons, arguab💮ly the worst weapon type in the game. Unless you want to throw dynamite and knives as a build, stay away from Loose Cannon.

13 Logan's Loophole

Best Suited For Short Playthroughs

Logan's Loophole allows your character to never get addicted to chems again, and chems last twice as long. As a consequence, you can no longer level past 30.

This is such a massive negative that it ruins all but the shortest of playthroughs. If you don't want to play the DLC or delve into many side missions, this trait can be somewhat useful. However, with the limited amount of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:perks players can earn through their adventure, this trait nearly halves the perks and total stats the player can work with.

12 ♚ Trigger Disciplin✤e

Increase Accuracy Outside Of VATS

If the accuracy of♛ weapons ever bothers you, Trigger Discipline is one of the few ways to increase your accuracy in combat.

Trigger Discipline grants 20% more accuracy with weapons while reducing your fire rate by 20% while also increasing AP costs by 20%. If you need to be accurate that badly, just use VATS. Unless you don't like using VATS, there's little reason to use this trait.

11 ꦑ ꦡ Heavy Handed

Perfect For Melee Brawlers

Melee characters have a trait just for them. Heavy Handed grants 20% 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:more damage for unarmed and melee wea🙈pons, but it reduces your critical hit damage by 60%.

Most melee weapons in New Vegas deal little critical damage anyway, meaning this trait isn't a complete waste. Unfortunately, few melee weapons exist that triumph over basic guns or energy weapons.

10 ꩲ Claustrophobia

For The Players Who Prefer To Explore Outdoors

While you are outdoors, you gain +1 to every SPECIAL stat, but you iꦯnversely lose 1 stat in every SPECIAL category while indoors.

Indoors includes caves, buildings, or any location that is not in the open world. This trait would be better if so much of New Vegas didn't take place indoors since most missions revolve around entering a certain building, cave, or town to complete a que﷽st.

9 ܫ Hot Blooded

Extra Damage When You Need It Most

This is one of the few traits that can increase your damage. 𝓀Hot Blooded grants 💙a 15% damage increase while under half health in exchange for 2 Perception and Agility when in that state.

Niche builds can benefit from the extra damage, particularly melee characters. Ranged characters or those on higher difficulties should s💛tay away from this trait, as it encourages you to actively take damage before or during an engagement.

8 𓆏 Early B⛄ird

It's Best To Start The Day Early

Unlike most SPECIAL traits, Early Bird isn't a terrible option. It grants +2 to SPECIAL stats from 6am to 12pm, but reduces them all by 1 from 6pm to 6am.

If you want to maximize Early Bird's benefit, consider waiting to venture off into dangerous areas until 6am. Two extra SPECIAL points are incredibly powerful, and the -1 in them during the night isn't enough of a negative to make this trait useless.

7 Four Eyes

For The Perception Focused Survivor

While wearing glasses or eyewear, you gain a +2 Perception bonus. When you aren't, you suffer a -1 Perception reduction.

This trait would be higher on the list if the negative stat didn't affect perk requirements. Unfortunately, the +2 bonus does not help unlock new Perception-based perks either, resulting in a perk that is only useful for those uninterested in Perception and looking for an easy way to getಞ more.

6 Hoarder

A Must For Power Armor And Weapon Master Builds

This trait increases 💯your carry weight by 25, but it r💧educes your SPECIAL stats by 1 if your weight is below 160 pounds.

Those who wear power armor or bring a wide variety of weapons will love this perk. The catch is you don't have much room to loot new goodies, but New Vegas doesn't have as many items you need to loot as Fallout 4 or most looter shooters do.
