You have the talent of finding money. You will find additional money in random encounters in the desert.Fallout description

Fortune Finder is a Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Lionheart perk and a Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel skill (skills in this game work like perks do in other Fallout games).

Fallout, Fallout 2 and Lionheart

With this perk, you will find either twice or three times the normal amount of money in random encounters, depending on the encounter type.

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas

With this perk, you will find considerably more bottle caps in containers than you normally would. Technically, it gives a 10% chance (CapsFortuneFinder global is assigned from 100 to 90) to get either 110-190 or 20-80 extra bottle caps in containers, depending if container uses CapsChangeFortuneFinder (player level based, former range) or CapsFortuneFinder (random, later range) leveled lists.

Fallout 4

3 LCK 1, LVL 25 You find even more bottle caps in containers. 001ACF99
4 LCK 1, LVL 40 You find even more bottle caps in containers, and there is a chance of enemies exploding into a shower of caps when you kill them. 00215CD4


Allows caps to be found in random containers such as cabinets, desks, metal cabinets, etc. It works similar to the Scrounger perk. If both Fortune Finder and Scrounger are obtained you will find both caps and ammunition in the same containers. If you are the type of player to search extensively through the locations you visit then this perk will be a wise investment.

Upon reaching level 4 in Fortune Finder there is a chance with every kill that caps will explode from the enemy killed. Upon death, there is a sound of caps hitting the floor (similar to what can be heard when a game machine lets out coins) also a large animated icon of Vault Boy appears on the screen. To collect the caps you need to move over the body, you'll see a large amount of caps around the body. You do not have to pick up each individual cap,once you use your 'pick up/use' key it will collect them all. The amount of caps dispersed is about 15 to 30. It can be difficult to see the caps and if there is a large battle they can easily be missed.

Notes

  • When Cap Collector's shower of caps event procs, the sound of a Bottlecap mine detonating will play.
  • (Tested on Xbox One) The level 4 rank of this perk procs based on the number of successful hits on enemies. This means that using ballistic or energy weapons with low damage but a high rate of fire such as the Minigun or Gatling laser will ensure that this perk triggers very often; at about once every 3-5 kills, making this perk very worthwhile in the long run if skilled as early as possible.
  • (Tested on PS4). It is worth noting that when the cap explosion offered by rank 4 of this ability activates, it often has the effect of slowing down the game and reducing frame rates, particularly in the middle of large battles with multiple enemies. This can actually make the final rank more of an annoyance than a help overall, since the number of caps gained from a cap explosion is usually not anything to get excited about.

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel

With each level of this skill, your chances of finding valuable items and money go up by 20% (up to a maximum of 100%).
