5. Solar Armor (Best For Team Players)

Playing with teams is common on Fallout 76. Sharing is caring; heal your team and yourself when your health is about 60 percent. It’s helpful when you’re near your team in the middle of a mob because it can save you from the stimpak frenzies. Everyone takes turns getting down and using emotes to say, “Hey, get me the hell up!” it won't happen as often.
