Because Bethesda encourages players to survive wastelands, their action MMORPG Fallout 76 invites players to uniquely combine weapons and armor for their own protection. Carefully crafting a proper build with certain skills and stats in mind can be highly beneficial for players to navigate Fallout 76's many perils. One of the appeals of Fallout 76 is the endless ways players can customize their character builds to create a unique play experience.

In Fallout 76, the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats system returns in combination with Perk Cards to allow players to create ridiculously powerful builds. Fallout 76 also returns players to The Pitt from Fallout 3, where the right gear could be the difference between life and death. While every unique and capable build in this popular MMO produces formidable or versatile gameplay, some stand out as the "best" and are sought-after by players everywhere.
