Leveling Up and Perks
You can increase your SPECIAL stats by leveling up. When you do level up, you can get a Perk Pack, which can give you a choice of a new perk and will help you meet the level requirements for certain equipment.
Leveling up is increased when you complete quests, defeat enemies, and explore the world which earns you Experience Points (XP).
