Fallout 76 uses perk cards to grant active bonuses within the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points allocated to a character. Cards are obtained through leveling or perk card packs, and regular perk ranks can be raised by combining duplicate cards. Legendary weapon effects form a separate equipment choice: the supplied mod reference describes effects tied to target health and other conditions. This reference records twelve named choices from those two systems, concentrating on concrete effects and restrictions explicitly described in the passages. It does not compare effectiveness, establish card point costs, or verify that the passages cover every live-game option.

Regular perk cards require allocated SPECIAL points
Active perk cards depend on points allocated to the matching SPECIAL stat and on the points the card costs to equip. A card's listed level requirement alone does not describe that allocation requirement.
The source says a regular perk's rank increases by combining it with a duplicate, which it says can be obtained through Perk Card Packs. A desired rank therefore cannot be assumed to come from selecting the card once.
Bloodied scales as health decreases, Instigating applies against targets above 60% health, and Executioner's applies below 40% target health. Their listed bonuses are condition-linked descriptions, not unconditional damage statements.
A descriptive reference to named regular perk cards and first-star legendary weapon effects. Effects, rank values, and conditions are included where stated. The mod reference provides crafting context, but this article does not cover crafting costs. It is not a build optimizer or a current-meta verification.
Scope is limited to the named perk cards and legendary weapon effects recorded here; it is not a complete list of Fallout 76 perks, legendary effects, weapon mods, or crafting systems.
The source passages do not establish exact SPECIAL point equip costs for the listed regular perk cards.
The passages do not establish comparative effectiveness or a recommended build, and this reference does not verify current meta or patch status.
Steam metadata establishes the game identity only; it does not substantiate gameplay effects.
Explanations prepared with GPT-6 Luna and checked against the linked references. These are source-reviewed guides. They do not establish independently tested optimal builds or exact upgrade budgets. How coverage works.
