Is Pain Train Worth It?

Yes, You Can Knockdown Large Enemies

Pain Train is worth it if you wear Power Armor all the time since it revolves around the use of this massive armor suit to stagger and inflict damage to enemies. When maxed out, you can even topple Deathclaws, Yao guais, and other large creatures, so we definitely recommend investing points in this perk!
