Fallout 4’s best starting stats (2023)

Are you looking for the best starting stats to get a boost in Fallout 4? If yes, then you have just arrived at the right place. At the start of the game, you will interact with a Vault-Tec representative. This will allow you to select SPECIAL stats for the first time. In doing so, you will be given 21 points that you can invest in 7 different stats as you wish. Since each of the 7 stats provide different benefits, it becomes difficult to allocate points. However, later in the game you will be given the option to allocate stat points. In the meantime, here is the best compilation of statistics for beginners.

Here’s the best stats compilation to kickstart Fallout 4.

• Strength – 3
• Perception – 5
• Endurance – 3
• Charisma – 4
• Intelligence – 4
• Agility – 6
• Luck – 3

In my opinion, this is the best distribution of stat points for the initial period in Fallout 4. Most players tend to focus on one stat, and therefore this deprives them of the benefits of other stats. What’s more, the one we’ve demonstrated above is a more balanced approach to all stats except Agility and Perception. Both of these stats pair well with each other, making them a good combo stat.

Perception stats will greatly improve your environmental awareness as well as increase weapon accuracy in VATS. On the other hand, the agility stats will make you greatly improve your sneaking ability.

Also, in this Fallout 4 Starting Stat build, you get equal Charisma and Intelligence. While the former will increase your persuasive power, the latter will help you gain more experience. Thus, this is a good opportunity to earn early experience points and advance in the game.

The rest of the stats like Strength, Luck and Endurance will support you effectively.
