The creators of Prime Video’s Fallout rely on props and practical effects to make the show’s post-apocalyptic world feel real, which includes some very impressive power armor. The imposing suits date back to before the bombs fell and are the signature weapon of the Brotherhood of Steel. Many of the show’s stars have worn the suits, and Polygon talked to them about the experience ahead of the show’s season 2 premiere on Dec. 17.

This sounds like an interesting take on power armor! It’s great to see the creators exploring both the benefits and challenges of such an iconic element in the Fallout universe. I appreciate the focus on practical effects; it really adds depth to the storytelling.
