Like all of Bethesda’s massive open-world games, Fallout 4 has a huge variety of approaches a player can take when wending their way through the Commonwealth. Jumping into a suit of power armor and blasting your way through hoards of foes is one. Putting on something lightweight with stealth abilities and sneaking past most of the enemies is another. Both are just as valid and there are dozens of other playstyles you try in the game.
Whichever approach you take, you’ll need the right armor for the job.
