One of the best things about the newer games in theFalloutseries is that you get to wear power armor. In bothFallout 4andFallout 76you are able to don the most powerful protective gear in the game. But in76it is arguably even better as you may wreak havoc on your online buddies/opponents. To do that though you first need to know where to find the armor.
