Fortune Finder

Fortune Finder is a perk in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and Fallout: The Board Game, Fallout: The Roleplaying Game as well as a skill in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.

Fallout and Fallout 2
With this perk, one will find either twice or three times the normal amount of money in random encounters, depending on the encounter type.

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas
With this perk, one will find considerably more bottle caps in containers than one normally would. This is done by enabling two leveled item lists - CapsChangeFortuneFinder and CapsFortuneFinder - which both have a 10% chance to add caps to containers. The former list is used by nearly all ant refuse piles, cash registers, desks, footlockers, filing cabinets, gore bags, gun cabinets, lockers, metal boxes, and ruined school desks. If the roll for it succeeds, it will add a quantity from the list between 20 caps minimum to 80 caps maximum. The latter list is far less common and used almost exclusively by safes (including wall safes and floor safes) and scales with the player's level. If the roll for it succeeds, there will be 110 additional caps at level 1, and quantities from the list scale up to 190 caps maximum at level 9.

In the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money, this perk instead grants Sierra Madre chips using an add-on-specific pair of lists - NVDLC01ChipsChangeFortuneFinder and NVDLC01ChipsFortuneFinder - which work the same and have the same values as the original lists. The former list is used by most cash registers, desks, dressers, filing cabinets, footlockers, unlocked metal boxes, night stands, unlocked suitcases, and wardrobes found in and around the Sierra Madre Casino & Resort. The latter list is, again, far less common and only used by locked metal boxes and locked suitcases.

Fallout 4
This perk allows caps to be found in random containers such as cabinets, desks, metal cabinets etc. It works similar to the Scrounger perk. If both Fortune Finder and Scrounger are obtained one will find both caps and ammunition in the same containers. If one is the type of player to search extensively through the locations visited then this perk will be a wise investment.

Upon reaching level 4 in Fortune Finder there is a chance with every kill that caps will explode from the enemy killed. Upon death, there is a sound of caps hitting the floor (similar to what can be heard when a game machine lets out coins) and a large animated icon of Vault Boy appears on the screen. One will see a large amount of caps around the body and will need to move over it to collect. One does not have to pick up each individual cap, once the 'pick up/use' key is pressed it will collect them all. The amount of caps dispersed is about 15 to 30. It can be difficult to see the caps and if there is a large battle they can easily be missed. Deaths caused by the Mysterious Stranger perks can also activate the caps explosions.

Fallout: The Roleplaying Game
Each time you take this perk, the level requirement increases by 4.

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
With each level of this skill, one's chances of finding valuable items and money go up by 20% (up to a maximum of 100%). To take it, the player must be level 5.

Points requirements

 * 1 Rank : 2 Points
 * 2 Rank : 4 Points
 * 3 Rank : 8 Points
 * 4 Rank : 16 Points
 * 5 Rank : 32 Points

Fallout: The Board Game
Once obtained, it can be discarded to obtain eight bottle caps.
