Fallout 4 (FO4)

Ninja Perk - Is It Worth It?

Add to Watchlist

Ninja is an Agility Perk in Fallout 4 (FO4). Learn if Ninja is worth it, Ninja's ID and ranks, as well as how to get and unlock Ninja.

Is Ninja Worth It?

Only If You Prefer Silently Killing Enemies

Ninja is a great perk to have if you enjoy silently killing enemies from the shadows, since you get a sneak attack bonus for ranged and melee weapons. It is also possible to instantly kill someone due to the huge amount of sneak damage bonus you'll receive, making this a top tier perk for stealth players!

Otherwise, you can ignore this perk entirely if you're the type to charge in your foes head on.

Fallout 4 Ninja Perk
Ninja is on Agility Level 7

The Ninja perk is unlocked when your Agility is at Level 7. You can start at this level by assigning 7 points to Agility 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 Agility 7, 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.
