Fallout 76, the upcoming multiplayer survival game from Bethesda Game Studios, will employ a card-based system for character customization, game director Todd Howard explained at QuakeCon today.

Like other Fallout games, Fallout 76 will used the SPECIAL system that determines a player’s strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck. As players level up in Fallout 76, they’ll be able to add points to each statistic. The number of points players allot to each statistic will determine how many perk cards they can use for that stat. Those perks are decided through a series of cards — Fallout 76 will include hundreds of cards, Bethesda said — that players will acquire as they level up through the game.
