Summary
Fallout: Londonis a complete makeover mod for the popularrole-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.
TheFallout: Londonmod relies on the mechanics of the base game, layering a new map, environment, and story on top. This means that players need to understand what each stat is, the impact they can have on gameplay, and where to put attribute points forspecific builds. It is easy to make a mistake during character creation, and end up with a set of stats that simply don’t work.
7Strength
Important For Melee Builds
Strengthis one of the seven stats inFallout: London. As one may imagine, the Strength stat is a measure of a character’s physical ability. Investing attribute points into strength is vital for players who intend to go with a melee build.
Strength has two primary benefits inFallout: London. Firstly, for every point invested in Strength, the player will do an additional 10% melee damage. Secondly, for each point spent in Strength, the player cancarry an additional 10 weight. Even players who do not intend to use a melee weapon might find a couple of points in Strength useful, just for the extra carrying capacity.
6Perception
Be More Aware Of The Environment
Perceptionis the main stat thatFallout: Londonplayers 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 partswhen using VATSfrom 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.
5Endurance
More Health And Stamina
Enduranceis a stat inFallout: Londonthat every player needs to take a close look at. It is crucial for building a character that has at least some level of survivability. The main benefit of putting points into Endurance is that it will increase the number of hit points the player has.
However, Endurance has a couple of other important benefits. Firstly, the more stamina a player has, the longer they will be able to sprint for. Secondly, radiation resistance is increased by spending points in Endurance, which can be very useful when exploring theopen-world map.
4Charisma
Often Overlooked But Useful
Charismais, in general, a non-combat stat. Many players that enjoyFallout: Londonas a quest-based, FPS game will likely ignore the Charisma stat completely. However, players that enjoy the RPG aspects might like to consider spending some points in Charisma.
When completing quests, high Charisma has a chance of helping get past speech checks. Charisma is also checked when issuing commands to a companion; the higher a player’s Charisma, the more likely a command will be successful. Additionally, higher Charisma makes it easy to attract new dwellers to a settlement and manage them.
3Intelligence
Directly Impacts Experience Point Gains
MostFallout: Londonplayers will want to put at least a few points into theIntelligencestat, simply for the fact that the higher a player’s Intelligence, the more experience points they gain for every applicable activity.
However, Intelligence is also useful for players who enjoy crafting their own gear, and modding weapons and armor, as well as crafting their own consumables such as medication and explosives. Lastly, hacking is impacted by a player’s Intelligence, with higher Intelligence leading to a better chance of a successful hacking.
2Agility
Great For Stealth Gameplay
Fallout: Londonrewards players who want to rely on a stealth build by presenting plenty of opportunities to use the sneak ability tactically.Agilityis the primary stat that impacts the player’s sneak ability, and is therefore vital for stealth builds.
Furthermore, the higher a player’s Agility, the more action points they will have available to spend while using VATS. On top of this, the player’s movement speed is driven by their Agility. Overall, Agility is a powerful stat that can have a massive impact on gameplay, especially for sniper or assassin-style builds.
1Luck
We All Need A Little Luck Now And Then
TheLuck statshould not be overlooked byFallout: Londonplayers. 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.
