Creating a video-game version of Lucy from the Fallout series is not simple, as you first must create a character that looks like her. The next step is to build Lucy MacLean in Fallout 4 via SPECIAL stats, perks, and weapons.
Best Lucy MacLean build in Fallout 4
While everyone is talking about Lucy MacLean's official SPECIAL stats in Fallout Shelter, they are from a different game where you start with 40 points for stats. In Fallout 4, you only have 21 points to spend on starting stats (28 total, as you can't go below 1 for a stat). As we're starting a new game, we'll spend available points on stats and go from there.

Lucy from the Fallout series is a very capable, tech-focused character with great Charisma and Intelligence. She was the only one capable of surviving outside the Vault 33, which says a lot about her character. While she probably felt like a fish out of water in the wasteland, she survived and even found friends to help her out. While I chose to start with lower Luck, this can be improved (as well as all other stats) during your play. So, just as Lucy's luck was turning in the series, you can also improve it with time.
| SPECIAL Stat | Points |
|---|---|
| Strength | 2 |
| Perception | 3 |
| Endurance | 4 |
| Charisma | 5 |
| Intelligence | 7 |
| Agility | 4 |
| Luck | 3 |
Best Perks for a Lucy Build in Fallout 4
During your adventures as Lucy, you'll be able to improve your SPECIAL stats and choose perks from each stat group. Below are my suggestions for perks based on Lucy's skills shown in Amazon Prime's Fallout.
| SPECIAL Stat | SPECIAL Perk |
|---|---|
| Strength | Steady Aim - Lucy is best with the gun, so unlocking this perk will improve her hip-fire accuracy. |
| Perception | Awareness - Although inexperienced in life outside of the vault, Lucy showed a high level of awareness (she noticed something was off with her new husband). |
| Endurance | Toughness - She was wounded but continued fighting! She's one tough vault dweller. |
| Charisma | Inspirational - Lucy has the power to change not just her teammates but the world! |
| Intelligence | Medic, Hacker, Science, Robotics Expert - Lucy was ready for her challenges thanks to years of education. |
| Agility | Sneak, Moving Target - Lucy was well-trained and in great physical shape, so hitting her is easier said than done. |
| Luck | Mysterious Stranger, Four Leaf Clover - It takes a lot of luck and the help of strangers to survive everything thrown at her. |
Best Lucy MacLean Weapon in Fallout 4
The best weapon for Lucy MacLean in Fallout 4 is Syringer. This gun uses syringe ammo to damage and debuff enemies, depending on the type of ammo you use. From many ammo variations, Lucy will certainly choose a Pax syringe variant that makes targets non-violent.
Where to find Syringer in Fallout 4
Fallout 4 weapon Syringer is located in the Greater Mass Blood Clinic. You'll need to invest two points in Picklock to pick a lock at expert level difficulty. When you enter, head to the basement and shoot some mosquitos (it's a blood clinic, remember?). After exploring a couple of rooms, you'll find a syringe on the table. As for ammo, you'll have to craft it at Chemistry Station.
