Complete Perks List with Names

Fallout 4 has a 70 perks, split across 7 SPECIALS: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. Players distribute points to level up their SPECIAL's and also to increase the rank of existing perks.

In this post you'll find a complete list of all of the Fallout 4 perks, for every category. This list is not speculation but instead a confirmed list of all perks, supplied by a gamer who leaked the game early.

You'll find that many of the perks have been ported across from older Fallout games in the series with a handful of new additions in Fallout 4. Some examples of new additions are Local Leader, Wasteland Whisperer and Intimidation.

Every perk has a number of Ranks, somewhere between 1 to 5 and the general theme is maintained throughout the ranks. For example, with Iron Fist the % damage boost increases steadily as you move from Rank 1 to 5.

As you move to the highest rank you'll usually reap great rewards. Using the Iron Fist perk as an example, you gain the chance to paralyze an opponent once you unlock Rank 5 of Iron Fist. I'll detail these important points in the list below as they become apparent.
