Power armour in Fallout 4 is a highly sought-after piece of equipment that helps the player sustain a serious amount of damage while dishing out their own assault with aplomb.

However, for all of the positives it brings to the game, it is a hulking and clunky outfit that can slow your movement down drastically. Taking it off every now and then is necessary.

There are four different types of power armour in the game, including the T-45, T-51 and T-60 models, as well as the X-01 – which is the most powerful (and rare) version.

Different parts, such as helmets and arm guards, are often scattered across the wastelands in various locations, and so hunting around for a complete suit can be tiresome, but highly rewarding in the long run.

But just like your favourite party costume, there comes a time when the power armour suit needs to be taken off. Fortunately, removing it in Fallout 4 is far easier than whipping off a pair of skinny jeans or untying a pair of high-top canvas trainers at the end of a big day.

Yet if you are having trouble, read on for our simple guide.

How to take off power armour in Fallout 4 explained

Taking off power armour in Fallout 4 is easy. If you are an Xbox player, then you simply hold the A button. Likewise, on a PlayStation, you simply hold the X button.

PC gamers must hold the E button on their keyboard for this to work.

The suit can be taken off anywhere in the game, but we would recommend leaving it in a safe place, as they really are valuable pieces of kit that can help you overcome serious odds in battle.

Leaving them at a settlement you own is how we would normally store one.
