Power Armor Training (Fallout 3)

Power Armor Training is a Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas perk. You must have this perk before you can operate or wear a suit of Power Armor or a Power Helmet. The perk can be gained in different ways in the two games.

Through the main storyline
After gaining permission from Elder Lyons, speak to Paladin Gunny in the A-Ring of the Citadel. There is no charge or other requirement for training - the screen simply fades to black as Gunny begins teaching you. Once that's done, you may use any kind of Power Armor, including the Enclave and the Outcast variants.

If you do not ask for training on your own, you will get it automatically at the end of The American Dream when you become an honorary member of Lyons' Pride, however these options appear very late in the game.

Through Operation: Anchorage
You automatically gain this perk when you finish the Anchorage Reclamation simulation in the Operation: Anchorage add-on.

Fallout: New Vegas

 * After completing the quest Still in the Dark return to either Nolan McNamara or Edgar Hardin, depending on who is now Elder.
 * If McNamara remains Elder, wait 24 hours outside of the bunker for the lockdown to be lifted, then talk to him. Tell him you wish to join the Brotherhood of Steel and this will begin the Eyesight to the Blind quest. When this is completed you will then receive Power Armor training.
 * If you helped Hardin become Elder, wait 3 days for McNamara to be overthrown. Speak with Hardin and tell him you wish to join the Brotherhood. He will tell you he wants the Van Graffs family at the Silver Rush eliminated. Once they are dead Hardin will train you in using Power Armor. If you have not already helped the Van Graffs family, go talk to Gloria Van Graff to start the Birds of a Feather quest. After you are set up at the Silver Rush door, wait for a man in a brown trader's outfit and let him in without checking him. (Warning all the weapons will be destroyed.) After a moment, he detonates a bomb inside the Silver Rush, after that you can go in and finish the job.


 * The other option for training is the For Auld Lang Syne quest, given by Arcade Gannon. Once you have gathered the Remnants together, you will be provided with the perk in addition to a suit of Remnants power armor.

Console command
Through normal gameplay, training is required to wear power armor of any variety. However, the skill can be unlocked via the console in the PC version by typing. An alternate way to do this is to type in the console.
