9 Insanely Long Video Game Unlocks That ARE Worth It

2. Star Control - Fallout 4

Now this next one is going to sound pretty reminiscent of Horizon: Zero Dawn’s inaccessible but deeply enticing armour but it’s not that game, it’s Fallout 4 so, you know, different apocalypse.

The Nuka-World add-on features a side quest called Star Control which you can pick up in the Galactic Zone. A not insignificant pile of corpses will signal to you the presence of the Star Control mainframe, alongside which you will first spot the Quantum X-01 power armour. And to put it bluntly, if you’re into power armour in Fallout games, you’re going to want that. Only problem is you need to locate 35 star cores to boot up the mainframe and access the suit. As you trundle toward that mighty ask you will be able to take certain types of robots offline with every five cores you install which should make adventuring quite a bit easier. With every core installed, you can then pick up the power armour which comes with the enviable effect of increased action point refresh speed plus impressive stats.

Finally, you’ll wrap up the quest by assigning the Galactic Zone to the raider gang of your choice.
