How to Use This Calculator
Step 1: Understand the Perk
The Refractor perk increases Energy Resistance based on your Perception (PER). Energy Resistance scales with PER, following a diminishing returns curve. A soft cap occurs at PER 60, where additional points provide reduced benefits.
Step 2: Review the Graph
The graph visualizes Energy Resistance scaling with PER, showing:
Steady increases in Energy Resistance up to PER 60.
Reduced gains beyond PER 60, highlighting the diminishing returns effect.
Step 3: Explore the Table
The table provides:
Rounded and exact Energy Resistance values for PER levels 1 to 100.
The soft cap at PER 60, highlighted to indicate where scaling slows down.

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:Â Help your fellow vault dwellers by sharing my guides.
- Follow Me on Social Media:Â Keep up with my latest updates by following me on social media.
- One-Time Donation:Â Buy me a coffee.
- Monthly Contribution:Â 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!
