Fallout 76 stands out as Bethesda's multiplayer online game inspired by its iconic franchises, such as The Elder Scrolls Online. Despite a rocky start, the game has been steadily gaining popularity, especially with the recent Fallout TV show release.

In line with other Fallout titles, Fallout 76 now allows players to recreate pivotal characters from the series, including Maximus. Bethesda even provides a handy guide for players keen on embodying their beloved characters. Here's how you can bring Maximus to life in Fallout 76.

Understanding Maximus in the Fallout Universe

Maximus serves as a Squire within the Brotherhood of Steel. Tasked with capturing a fugitive alongside his Knight, Maximus finds himself in possession of his Knight's Power Armor, assuming the role of a Knight. His journey intersects with Lucy MacLean and The Ghoul, forming an unexpected alliance to navigate the Wasteland together.

Delving into Maximus' Perks

Bethesda shared details on Twitter, guiding players on recreating the iconic trio within Fallout 76. Maximus, with his strong Strength and Intelligence stats, boasts perks reflecting his Brotherhood Squire background.

Here's a breakdown of his perks aligned with his S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attributes.

Securing Maximus' Power Armor

As a Brotherhood of Steel member, Maximus relies on Power Armor in the TV series, with Fallout 76 offering various Power Armor options. Securing these armors poses a challenge in-game, necessitating effort from players. While The Ghoul's outfit requires Fallout 1st and Lucy's outfit is tied to Xbox Game Pass, having the Power Armor readily available in-game is advantageous.

For an authentic experience, opt for T-60 Power Armor favored by Maximus, although acquiring this set proves to be one of the game's more challenging tasks, involving rare spawns and significant dedication. However, unlike other character sets, obtaining T-60 Power Armor does not incur additional costs or subscription requirements.
