Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics Level Up Fallout 3 Level Up

File:Level Up.gif

You just leveled up!

Levels are the general competency of the player character in the SPECIAL character system. A measure of your experience and abilities. Your Level is determined by the amount of Experience Points you have earned throughout your journey.

Each time you Level up, you can modify your skills but not your Primary Statistics. You can also gain special perks depending on your character. Therefore you become stronger and better with each Level you gain.

Level cap

The maximum level you can reach varies from game to game.

• In Fallout it's 21.
• In Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel it's 99.
• In Fallout 3 it's 20, 30 with the Broken Steel add-on.
• In Fallout: New Vegas it's 30, 35 with one add-on, 40 with two add-ons, 45 with three add-ons, and 50 with four. Each add-on raises the level cap by 5 levels.

Notes

• Fallout 3's level cap can be raised to 99 using the SetGS iMaxCharacterLevel 99 command every new game.
• Note that playing with this command can cause some random crashes.
• In the GOTY edition leveling will stop at level 20 until you activate Broken Steel through the datafiles option.

Notes

• The experience points required for level n can be calculated from the following equation:

• The level cap is raised to 30 in the Broken Steel add-on.

Bugs

There was a glitch that allows you to level up to 31, 32, 33, etc. However, your title will still be Messiah, True Mortal, or Devil. Also, while Health increases from each level up stay with you, the points and the perks you choose will not be kept.

• Encountered on the PS3 when the player leveled to level 30 and continued on the game will freeze constantly meaning you could not continue past level 30.

* Your character must also not have the Logan's Loophole trait, as this caps your level at 30.

Notes

• Every 2 levels you advance you can pick a perk.
• The experience points required for level n can be calculated from the following equation:
  

$25(3''n''+2)(''n''-1)$.

• The level cap is raised by 5 after starting every add-on, up to a maximum of 50. You are given the choice to take a trait that lets you stay at 30 in Old World Blues.
• An earlier patch prior to the 3rd add-on had allowed some players to obtain level 50 prior to the final add-on. This does not result in any glitches or such, but does put your experience bar to max when the final add-on is installed, if level 50 has already been reached.

Bugs

• If the player dies after leveling then the might might cause a "level jump", skipping an entire level and making it impossible to gain a perk for that level, if it is a perk-selecting level.^{[platforms tag needed]}
