How to Use This Calculator
Step 1: Understand the Perk
The Junk Shield perk increases your Damage and Energy Resistance based on two factors:
Luck (LCK): Determines the multiplier applied to the Base Resistance.
Junk Items: Determines your Base Resistance. The formula for Base Resistance is:
Base Resistance = 0.71 × Junk Items + 4.29 (capped at 100 junk items).
For example, carrying 50 junk items gives you 0.71 × 50 + 4.29 = 39.79 Base Resistance.
Step 2: Enter Your Values
Use the calculator to enter:
The number of junk items you are carrying (1-100).
Your Luck value (1-100).
Step 3: Check the Results
The calculator will display:
Base Resistance: Calculated from your junk items using the formula.
Multiplier: Determined by your Luck value.
Total Resistance: The final Damage and Energy Resistance are calculated as:
Total Resistance = Base Resistance × Multiplieriplier
The soft cap for Junk Shield is 30 Luck, where resistance increases at a slower rate.

Hey there, I'm Kat, also known as Duchess!
I'm an Aussie data miner who creates guides for farming, events, and food buffs in Fallout 76.
I firmly believe that knowledge should be accessible to everyone, so my guides will always be free. However, maintaining a website and using photo and video editing software can be costly.
If you find my guides useful, here are a few ways you can support me:
- Share My Guides: Help your fellow vault dwellers by sharing my guides.
- Follow Me on Social Media: Keep up with my latest updates by following me on social media.
- One-Time Donation: Buy me a coffee.
- Monthly Contribution: Become a regular supporter by subscribing to my Ko-fi page.
Every bit of support helps cover the costs of creating these guides and maybe even gets me a cup of coffee or three ;)
Thanks for your support!
