Luck - Fallout 76

Luck

"Luck is a measure of your general good fortune, and affects the recharge rate of Critical Hits as well as the condition and durability of items that you loot."

Luck is a statistic in Fallout 76 (FO76). Stats are attributes in the game that determine the player's capacity or ability. Improving stat values will improve the player's ability with Weapons, Armor and more. The game returns to its SPECIAL stats system reminiscent of the previous Fallout games. See Perks for further information.

Luck Information

Luck has always been a useful stat and, even though its only directly affected statistic is critical hits, it has other functions as well. It affects the value of loot when opening chests or looting corpses so it greatly affects the quality of items and capability in earning money.

Luck is a measure of your general good fortune and affects the recharge rate of Critical Hits as well as the condition and durability of items that you loot. The condition of looted items (as opposed to crafted ones) is determined by a random dice roll between a min and max condition value. In combat, luck benefits your Critical Hits, hastening a target's departure in quicker, more violent ways, which is obviously both beneficial and entertaining.

Ways to increase Luck

Some equipment increases the luck by a small amount.
