Fallout 76 equalises the damage somewhat when fighting higher level players in PvP
(N4G PC)

From VG247: `As soon as you hit level 5 after a couple of hours in Fallout 76, youre free to partake in some friendly (or not) PvP. If you come up against a power armour-wearing badass when youre a low level you dont need to panic, though. Fallout 76 levels the playing field a little bit to make for fairer fights.`
