Fallout 3 Perks

In Fallout 3, you will gain perks every level, as opposed to every three levels like in previous games. Also, unlike previous games, traits that gave you both bonuses and penalties at the same time are no longer in the game. Instead, some of them (like Bloody Mess) were changed into perks.

This is the list of currently known perks in Fallout 3 - perks gained from leveling are all listed, but possible perks gained from other sources, such as quest rewards, are still largely unknown.

Regular perks
These perks are taken on level-up.

Important Note: Codes can be used by opening the console in the PC version and using the following commands: player.removeperk [perk code] player.addperk [perk code] Replace [perk code] with the code listed for the desired perk. For ranked perks, repeat the process until the desired rank is reached. codes in parenthesis "" are for girls, if the character already has the perk, adding the code will show nothing on the console.

Quest perks
You can get these perks as a reward for quests.

Important note about quest perk codes: Trying to add them before doing the quest required may cause game to crash or corrupt.
