Power Armor Chassis

The power armor chassis is the basic exoskeleton unit required for all power armor models in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
Power armor chassis function much like the power armor frames in Fallout 4. They require fusion cores to move at normal speed and any combination of power armor parts can be equipped onto them.

Unlike the frames in Fallout 4, owned chassis can be placed into and out of a player character's inventory. A chassis can be claimed by entering one in Appalachia that doesn't belong to another player character. While chassis are not level locked, power armor parts can be leveled and will prevent a lower leveled player character from entering it. Transferring all leveled parts to the player character's inventory will enable the use of the chassis.

A chassis can be stored into a player characters' inventory by exiting the armor and pressing the "Collect" button or key when looking at the chassis' inventory. Power armor parts that are equipped to the chassis will not add any additional weight to your inventory once collected. The chassis can be deployed by selecting it to equip it in the Pip-Boy menu and then selecting where in front of the player character to place it. Ownership of a chassis can be forfeited by dropping it from the inventory, making it available for any player character to claim.

Like power armor parts, chassis can also be damaged and in need of repair.
