How to Exit Power Armor in Fallout 4

Exit your Power Armor, safely.

Bethesda has given me great memories and some, well, let’s say less than great. Having said that, Fallout 4 had some big shoes to fill after the masterpiece that was Fallout 3, so the expectations were sky-high when it was released in 2016. Ultimately, the game was extremely well received and also performed really well commercially. Bethesda did the impossible. Nowadays, Fallout 4 is the go-to Fallout game, taking into the account the updated graphics and gameplay. One of the things that were changed in this installment of the series was the Power Armor. The ability to customize each piece and not having to train at all to use it was something that the fans were very thankful for. Having said that, here is how to exit Power Armor in Fallout 4.
