Prime Video’s Fallout TV series very cleverly brings to life the world of the Fallout games. Although, of course, a television series naturally unfolds in a different way than a game, there are moments when fans can almost see familiar gaming mechanics working behind the scenes. For example, when the Brotherhood of Steel’s squires carry the overlarge supply bag of their Knight, you can practically see an “Overencumbered” condition flash to life. Naturally, the Fallout series begs fans to ask, just what are the SPECIAL stats of its main characters. Happily, viewers don’t have to debate for too long. Bethesda has added the Fallout series’ main characters into Fallout Shelter. And that means the stars of the Fallout TV show, from Lucy to the Ghoul, now have official canon SPECIAL stats.
What Are SPECIAL Stats in Fallout?
SPECIAL stats are the main character statistics in the Fallout games. In Fallout‘s world, SPECIAL stands for Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. You need all of these in combination to survive the wasteland and Fallout‘s treacherous world. Each SPECIAL statistic is assigned a number between 1 and 10 during character creation. As a player evolves in the game, their statistics can evolve as well. And that’s something we should keep in mind when we take a look at the SPECIAL stats of the main characters from the Fallout TV series.
The Fallout TV Series Main Characters’ Official Special Stats, According to Bethesda’s Fallout Shelter
Bethesda recently added four characters from the Fallout series to its mobile game, Fallout Shelter. In addition to fun quests and new locations celebrating the show, Fallout Shelter also reveals the SPECIAL stats for its main characters: Lucy, The Ghoul, Maximus, and Ma June. You can check them out below.
Lucy’s Official Fallout SPECIAL Stats
Here are Lucy Maclean’s canon SPECIAL stats in Fallout‘s world. Lucy may not be the strongest of players, but she does have a perceptive mind. And, well, it’s fair to call Lucy Maclean lucky—she did get to live most of her life in a safe and happy place, which is more than most people can say in Fallout‘s world. Overall, Lucy’s SPECIAL stats place her as a mostly average sort of person, a blank slate, if you will. But there’s a lot of journey left for her to go on in the Fallout series.
- Strength: 4
- Perception: 7
- Endurance: 6
- Charisma: 5
- Intelligence: 6
- Agility: 5
- Luck: 7
The Ghoul’s Official Fallout SPECIAL Stats
The Ghoul, on the other hand, is definitely not a lucky guy. He’s spent 219 years in the wastelands feasting on butt jerky. We’re not sure we’d want that life. But, helping him survive are his endurance, perception, and agility. Of course, there’s also the Ghoul’s high charisma SPECIAL stat—but honestly, we’d give this Fallout character a 10 out of 10 in that department. Even without his nose, Walton Goggins is one charismatic fellow.
- Strength: 5
- Perception: 6
- Endurance: 7
- Charisma: 7
- Intelligence: 4
- Agility: 7
- Luck: 4
Maximus’ Official Fallout SPECIAL Stats
Maximus’ canon Fallout SPECIAL stats tell a charming story. If Maximus wasn’t already clearly a himbo, his official stats confirm it. And we love that for him. Maximus might be a part of the ruthless Brotherhood of Steel, as his 7 in strength reveals, but he’s really a softie who just wants to lounge in a cozy bathrobe.
- Strength: 7
- Perception: 6
- Endurance: 6
- Charisma: 5
- Intelligence: 4
- Agility: 7
- Luck: 5
Ma June’s Official Fallout SPECIAL Stats
Ma June may not be the main character in the Fallout TV series, but she is certainly a fascinating one. She really does help move the plot along, bringing together key characters, so we’re glad to learn more about this denizen of the Fallout series’ world via her SPECIAL stats.
- Strength: 5
- Perception: 7
- Endurance: 5
- Charisma: 7
- Intelligence: 6
- Agility: 4
- Luck: 6
Could The SPECIAL Stats of These Fallout Series Characters Change?
Of course, these SPECIAL stats are just the baseline for the Fallout series‘ main characters. We don’t know for sure if these stats represent the characters at the beginning or end of Fallout season one. But regardless, there’s lots of room for change as the characters continue to adventure. We bet we’ll see Lucy’s strength skyrocket eventually, and hopefully, the Ghoul can pick up just a smidge more luck. We’ll have to keep an eye on Fallout Shelter to see if these series characters’ stats change at all.
