Iron Fist is a perk in Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and Fallout: The Roleplaying Game.

Fallout 3


A perk with three ranks, with each granting a flat five point increase to Unarmed Damage.

Fallout 4


The perk was expanded to five ranks, with each rank granting 20% increased damage, as opposed to the flat increase in the previous game. Higher ranks also grant improved benefits, such as a chance to disarm an enemy or cripple their limbs.

Fallout 76


For Fallout 76, the perk was reduced to three ranks once more, with the damage bonus being drastically decreased. A single rank of this perk was also planned for the game's now defunct Nuclear Winter battle royale mode, but was never actually implemented.

Fallout: The Roleplaying Game
