If you\u2019re new to the game or have been exploring its wastelands for a while now, you\u2019ll want to know what the Fallout 4<\/a> level cap is.<\/p>\n

Many RPGs have maximum level caps, meaning you can only level up your character to a certain level before they can\u2019t get stronger from that point.<\/p>\n

Often, you can have it in a game where the max level cap doesn\u2019t allow you to unlock every perk, ability, skill, or whatever that game awards you upon levelling up.<\/p>\n

Is Fallout 4 one of these games, or can you unlock everything?<\/p>\n

You guessed it, you\u2019ve been here before \u2013 you\u2019re going to have to read on to find out. Here\u2019s the Fallout 4 level cap explained.<\/p>\n

Technically, there isn\u2019t a Fallout 4 level cap<\/b>. You can keep levelling up and can unlock every perk and SPECIAL to spend points on.<\/p>\n

Realistically, though, the maximum effective level cap is 272, as this is when you will have unlocked all SPECIALS and perks.<\/p>\n

On another technicality, the maximum player level you can reach is level 65,535 (as per the game\u2019s Steam forums<\/a>). After you reach level 65,535, earning any XP will crash the game.<\/p>\n

So, yeah, if you\u2019re level 65,535, you may want to quit playing.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, it will take you ages<\/i> to reach level 65,535 in Fallout 4. You probably never will. In terms of the amount of XP you need to reach level 65,535, the Fallout Wiki<\/a> claims you\u2019ll need to earn 161,062,092,626.<\/p>\n

Those are numbers so dizzying that we think we need to lie down.<\/p>\n

If you play a lot<\/i> of the game, though, it\u2019s perfectly feasible that you will reach level 272, which is when you\u2019ll be able to say you have unlocked every single perk and reached rank 10 in each SPECIAL stat.<\/p>\n

Reaching level 272 requires earning a paltry 2,798,076 XP.<\/p>\n

Owners of the Far Harbor and Nuka-World DLC expansions, meanwhile, will be able to unlock all perks and SPECIAL stats by reaching level 286 (3,070,826 total earned XP).<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s time to get out there and level up to your heart\u2019s content. And if you\u2019re level 65,534, it might be time to start a new save.<\/p>\n
