How to recharge Fusion Cores in Fallout 76
The Appalachian Wasteland of Fallout 76 is packed with useful items for you to hoard over the course of the hundreds of hours you’ll play it. One of the best items you can gather is Fusion Cores. These are used as a source of energy for your Power Armor, allowing you to walk, run, and fight in it. Without a decent store of Fusion Cores, your Power Armor will be a hindrance rather than a help. This guide outlines how to recharge Fusion Cores, so you don’t need to keep crafting them, gathering them, and generally wasting time you could spend killing Scorchbeasts.

Recharging a Fusion Core in Fallout 76At the time of writing, there are two ways to recharge Fusion Cores in Fallout 76. We’ve listed both below and have explained how they work so you know which one is best for you in the early and late game. Both are far easier than farming Fusion Cores, but you’ll get more experience from that activity than you will from these, so weigh up the pros and cons before diving in.
Recharging Fusion Cores with the Electric Absorption Perk CardThe first way you can recharge Fusion Cores in Fallout 76 is by unlocking the Electric Absorption Legendary Perk Card. To get this, you must reach Level 50 on a character to unlock their Legendary Perk Card Slot. After that, you can select Electric Absorption as one of the cards you equip.
With Electric Absorption equipped, enemy hits have a chance to recharge the Fusion Core currently slotted into your Power Armor. While the change is low even when at its maximum level of 20%, it’s much better than the alternative of dumping a spent Fusion Core. We recommend equipping Electric Absorption before taking on a few daily events in Fallout 76.
