Optimizing Your Vault 111 Loadout

Your initial S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attribute distribution permanently shapes your gameplay. Using this interactive planner allows you to map your progression up to level 50, ensuring you meet all perk prerequisites without wasting points.

"Tip: You will find the Perception Bobblehead very early in Concord. You can leave Perception at 3 during creation if you plan to unlock the Rank 4 Locksmith perk."

Top Build Archetypes

  • The Stealth Sniper: High PER/AGI. Requires precise planning to unlock Ninja and Sniper early.
  • The Melee Bruiser: High STR/END. Rely on Blitz (AGI 9) or pure tank stats to close the gap.
  • The Charismatic Settler: High CHA/INT. Ideal for massive settlements, crafting, and relying on companions.
