“Stamina and physical toughness. A character with a high Endurance will survive where others may not.”— Fallout In-game description
Endurance is one of the seven primary statistics in the SPECIAL system.
Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics[]
Modifies: Hit Points, Poison & Radiation Resistance, Healing Rate, and the additional Hit Points per level.
Ways to increase Endurance[]
- In Fallout, the Brotherhood of Steel in Lost Hills can perform an operation to permanently increase Endurance by 1, assuming the Vault Dweller can afford it.
- Endurance can be permanently raised in Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics via the Gain perk.
- Endurance can be temporarily raised by 3 in Fallout and Fallout 2 by using Buffout.
- The Elixir of Life from Fallout Tactics gives +1 EN and +15 HP.
Fallout 3[]
Modifies: Hit Points, Poison & Radiation resistance (but not damage resistance) and the Big Guns and Unarmed Skills. Endurance also determines the speed the character's oxygen counter counts down when they are holding their breath underwater.
"Always be ready to take one for the team."

Notes[]
- If the Courier's Endurance stat is the most extreme (highest or lowest), Doc Mitchell will either say it explains how the Courier is still alive: being "built solid as an oak." (for highest) or that a stiff breeze would tear them in two but a couple of bullets making them "right as rain." (For lowest)
- An Endurance of 9 will guarantee the ability to get every implant in the game, the 9 implants by Dr. Usanagi as well as those offered as Perks. This level of Endurance can be reached by initial S.P.E.C.I.A.L. allocation or raising it by the Intense Training Perk or the raise awarded by finishing the Lonesome Road add-on.
- The Endurance Implant by Dr. Usanagi *WILL NOT* raise the number of possible implants, although it counts as a permanent raise of the base Endurance score for all other practical purposes, no matter if chosen first.
Fallout 4[]
Modifies: Hit Points and the rate that Action Points deplete by while sprinting.
Fallout Shelter[]
Modifies: Dweller's maximum Hit Points.
On each level-up Dweller's maximum HP increases according formula:
