Fallout 4: 10 New Details We Learned From The Leaked Footage

8. Several Brand New Perks Revealed

The community (including us) has done a great job in decrypting that huge list of Vault Boy sketches showing each of the perks in Fallout 4. Thanks to them, we've got a pretty good idea of what most of the 70 perks will be. But there are several that were still a mystery until the recent gameplay footage leaked. The leaked gameplay footage showed players fiddling around in the perk trees, revealing to us the identities of four more previously unknown perks. So if you don't like perky surprises and want to know what to expect, here they are: Idiot Savant - "You're not stupid! Just... different. Randomly receive 3x XP from an action, and the lower your Intelligence, the greater the chance." (3 ranks) Ghoulish - "Sure, you're still human - on the outside! Radiation now regenerates your lost health." (3 ranks) Pain Train - "Choo choo! All aboard! While wearing Power Armour, sprinting into enemies hurts and staggers them. (Robots and oversized enemies are immune to the stagger)". (3 ranks) Nuclear Physicist - "You've learned to split the atom... and command it. Radiation weapons do 50 per cent more damage and Fusion Cores last an extra 25 per cent longer." (3 ranks) Four Leaf Clover - "Feeling lucky? You should! Each hit in V.A.T.S has a chance of filling your Critical meter". (4 ranks)
