How to Use This Calculator
Step 1: Understand the Perk
The Ricochet perk increases your chance to deflect incoming ranged attacks based on your Luck (LCK). When you deflect an attack, you reflect 100% of the damage back to the attacker and take 50% less damage. Wearing Heavy Armor or Power Armor boosts your deflect chance by 50%.
Step 2: Review the Graphs
There are two graphs showing how Luck affects your deflect chance:
Base Deflect Chance: This graph shows your normal chance to deflect attacks based on Luck.
Heavy & Power Armor Deflect Chance: This graph shows the increased deflect chance when wearing Heavy Armor or Power Armor.
Step 3: Explore the Table
The table below shows how your Luck affects deflect chance:
Luck Points: Your Luck, ranging from 1 to 100.
Base Deflect Chance %: The standard chance to deflect ranged attacks.
Deflect Chance with Heavy & Power Armor %: The boosted chance when wearing either Heavy Armor or Power Armor.
A soft cap is marked at Luck 30, where further increases in Luck provide smaller boosts to deflect chance.

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!
