Is Iron Fist Worth It?

Only For Unarmed Build Playthroughs

Iron Fist is definitely worth picking up if you are planning to go for an unarmed build during your playthrough since the perk buffs up your punching attacks damage. This perk also allows you to disarm opponents and have a chance to cripple them, making this perk useful for close-quarters combat.

Otherwise, if you don't plan on using your fists for the majority of the playthrough, you can skip this perk since medium-to-long-range firefights is the typical mode of combat in Fallout 4.

Unlock Iron Fist at Strength 1

Iron Fist is on Strength Level 1

The Iron Fist perk is unlocked when your Strength is at Level 1. You can start at this level by assigning 1 point to Strength during the Registration Form at the start of the game. Otherwise, you can get to this level by collecting SPECIAL magazines or bobbleheads and spending perk points upon level up.

After getting to Strength 1, you're free to spend perk points on ranking up the skill, as long as you are at the required character level to rank up.
