Venturing out into the Appalachian Wasteland in Fallout 76 isn’t all fun and games. In fact, it’s no fun at all. Thanks to a nuclear war, you’ll have to face super mutants, glowing mole-rats and more strange bugs than in the latest Fallout 76 patch. Considering multiplayer is the focus of Fallout 76, you’ll also have to face other players looking to eliminate you for some caps.
Of course, for the first few hours, you can be super anti-social as you wander through Vault 76. But once you step outside the steel corridors and into the open, stuff gets real. Naturally, you could just craft the best weapons in Fallout 76 in order to obliterate your enemies with ease. Yet, without some decent armor, there’s a slim chance you’ll survive in the post-apocalyptic world.
Now, you could explore the world yourself to find the hidden sets of armor, yet it’s risky business. So, to save you some time, we have listed 30 power armor locations in Fallout 76. Alongside each location, we have also detailed the type of Power Armor you will find, as well as some additional tips to keep in mind when using the armor. Also, check out our Fallout 76 mutations list to prepare yourself better.
What Are the Different Types of Power Armor in Fallout 76?
Before we take a look at some Power Armor locations, let’s look into the different types of Power Armor available in Fallout 76. Keep in mind that like weapons in Fallout 76, the different types of Power Armor require a different level to operate. Therefore, we have listed below the 7 types of Power Armor from the lowest to the highest level required.
