Armor perks
Introduction
| # | Description |
|---|---|
| Your equipped armor gains experience when you kill NPCs. You can also give it XP by using Upgrade Parts on it. When enough experience is earned, new perks unlock, and the armor's color changes. Armor perks vary in effectiveness depending on their rank. Armor perk ranks you get and are heavily influenced by item luck. | |
| Perk 1-3 | The first three perks on tier 3 gear are always predefined. Some tier 4 items may have random perks even on the first three levels. |
| Perk 4 | The fourth perk can be chosen via a dialog window once unlocked. However, if you level up your weapon using Upgrade Parts, this perk will be random. |
| Perk 5 | The fifth perk is always random. |
| Legendary Perk | The sixth perk, known as the "legendary" perk, is selected from a separate table of perks and only applies against NPCs. |
| Perk 7 | Every weapon can be upgraded by Roger with a T4 part, or Cotsford in Last Vegas with a "Wattz" Fusion Core to gain one additional perk. |

Rerolling
Armor perks can be rerolled by Boyce in Junktown or Randal in New Vault City. The cost is in local currency and applies to a single reroll. Since the outcome is randomized, multiple rerolls will likely be necessary to achieve the desired perk configuration.
| Level | Experience |
|---|---|
| 1 | 15,000 |
| 2 | 100,000 |
| 3 | 200,000 |
| 4 | 50,000 |
| 5 | 6,000,000 |
| 6 | 50,000 |
Armor experience
The total amount of gear experience (gear XP) required for Armor to level up depends on its tier, type, and current level.
Total XP needed for armor to level up = Base XP Requirement * XP Requirement Multiplier
Base XP requirement and Experience modifiers to get specific equipment to a specific level can be seen in tables below:
| Tier I | Tier II | Tier III | Tier IV | Tier V | Tier VI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 7 500 | 15 000 | 30 000 | 60 000 | 180 000 | 900 000 |
| Level 2 | 50 000 | 100 000 | 200 000 | 400 000 | 1 200 000 | 6 000 000 |
| Level 3 | 100 000 | 200 000 | 400 000 | 800 000 | 2 400 000 | 12 000 000 |
| Level 4 | 625 000 | 1 250 000 | 2 500 000 | 5 000 000 | 15 000 000 | 75 000 000 |

| Level 6 | 25 000 000 | 50 000 000 | 100 000 000 | 200 000 000 | 600 000 000 | 3 000 000 000 |
| Armor Type | XP req. multi |
|---|---|
| Leather armor | 75% |
| Metal armor | 80% |
| Combat robes | 100% |
| Combat armor | 150% |
Note: The XP requirement multiplier only applies at levels 1-4.
Itemized gear upgrades
There are two item types that can help your gear achieve the optimal perk configuration: upgrade parts (which provide an immediate gear XP boost), and gear mod upgrades (which have a chance of increasing the rank of your already unlocked perks).
Gear experience boosters
Found mostly in dungeon lockers, Upgrade Parts add experience directly to your gear. Note that any perks unlocked via this method will be randomized, even if you would normally be able to select the one you want.
To use Upgrade Parts on an item: (1) place the item on the ground; (2) click and hold the left mouse button on it; (3) from the drop‑down menu, select the bag icon; (4) in the inventory window that appears, click on the stack of Upgrade Parts you wish to use.
10 x Upgrade Parts can be combined into 1 x Upgrade Parts MKII, and 10 x Upgrade Parts MKII can be combined into 1 x Upgrade Parts MKIII via Fix-Boy, which may come in handy if you're planning to craft Water Chips.
Gear perk rank upgrades
If the rank of the perks on your gear could use a little tune-up, there are several items that you may find interesting, see the table below.
To use any of them: (1) place your armor/weapon on the ground; (2) click and hold the left mouse button on it; (3) from the drop‑down menu, select the bag icon; (4) in the inventory window that appears, click on the item you wish to use.
