The Fallout series has been around for a long time. With all of the changes that have been made in modern games, some things have been kept the same up until the most recent installment. One mechanic that players can get involved with is perks. Many fans consider Fallout: New Vegas to be the best 3D game in the series, so we thought we would take a look at the perks available in that game. Below is a list of the best and the worst perks that can be found in Fallout: New Vegas.
Updated December 12th, 2020 by Charles Burgar: Even after a decade has passed, Fallout: New Vegas is still considered by many as one of the best Fallout titles ever released. Some even argue it's one of the best games Obsidian has ever made. With the plethora of well-written quests and content there is to discover, it's easy to see why. It's also easy to see why so many fans love delving into unique builds that involve unique perk combinations. To account for this, we went ahead and updated this list to include some different choices that New Vegas fans might not have considered. As before, we are only including perks you obtain on level-up and not from companions or quests.

Finesse will grant 5% increased critical hit chance while Better Criticals grants 50% more critical hit damage. One perk is decent on its own, but both become top-tier when used together. A 5% critical chance boost might not sound great on paper, yet the way New Vegas handles criticals means this is anywhere from a 5% to a 25% critical chance increase based on the weapon. With a high enough Luck stat and the Built to Destroy trait, critical builds can output critical hits repeatedly that are all boosted by Better Criticals' absurd 50% damage increase. Just be sure your weapon has a good critical percentage multiplier before taking both of these perks.
No hyperbole, In Shining Armor is broken. It doesn't work. This perk checks for the "Energy" tag instead of the "EnergyWeapons" tag, which means that this perk never works because "Energy" isn't a skill. Unofficial Patch mods have fixed this issue, but this list isn't taking into account mods. As it stands, In Shining Armor is objectively the worst perk in New Vegas as it doesn't do anything.
