Introduction

Armor perks are stat bonuses granted by the body armor you wear.

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, it levels up, a new perk unlocks, and the armor's color changes.

Armor perks vary in effectiveness depending on their rank. Armor perk ranks you get are heavily influenced by item luck.

The first three armor perks that unlock as your armor gains levels are always the same for a specific suit of armor; see Armor for details.

The fourth perk can be chosen via a dialog window once unlocked. However, if you level up your armor using Upgrade Parts, this perk will be random.

The fifth perk is always random.

The sixth perk, known as the "legendary" perk, is selected from a separate table of perks and only applies against NPCs.

Every armor can be upgraded by Roger (Salt Lake City) with a T4 part, or by Cotsford (Las Vegas) with a "Wattz" Fusion Core to gain one additional perk.

Rerolling

Level Cost
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

The XP requirement multiplier only applies to levels 1–4. For levels 5 and 6, all armor types use the base (100%) values.

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.

Gear experience boosters
Image Name Description
Upgrade Parts.png Upgrade Parts Adds 10,000 XP to a piece of gear
Upgrade Parts MKII.png Upgrade Parts MKII Adds 100,000 XP to a piece of gear
Upgrade Parts MKIII.png Upgrade Parts MKIII Adds 1,000,000 XP to a piece of gear

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.
