T-60 Power Armor (Fallout 4)

T-60 power armor is a set of armor that can be obtained in Fallout 4.

Background
Developed in early 2077 after the Anchorage Reclamation, the T-60 series of power armor was designed to eventually replace the T-51b as the pinnacle of powered armor technology in the U.S. military arsenal. Incorporating design elements from the earlier T-45, the T-60 was deployed domestically among U.S. Army units just prior to the Great War.

Characteristics
This particular variation of power armor is much larger and bulkier than other recent portrayals, closer to the appearance of classic Fallout power armor. The set looks highly similar to the T-45d power armor, but with a few minor differences. The shoulders of the T-60 are composite, double layered, and shorter than its T-45d predecessor. The T-45d shoulder plates are almost twice as long and are only a single piece of metal. The opening valve on the T-60 set is lower on the suit, larger, and has a slot for a fusion core. The breastplate on the T-60 has two vertical handlebars, while the T-45d has a single horizontal handlebar. This particular set is superior to T-45 and T-51 armors.

Locations

 * Within this section is a list of scripted locations. For a generalized list of locations where Power armor can be found see the page Power armor frame
 * Four suits can be found on the The Prydwen, though in order to obtain one, you must join the Brotherhood of Steel and the others are obtained by stealing.
 * Can be bought at the Atom Cats garage with a flame paint job.
 * One suit can be looted from the body of Elder Maxson in the quest Airship Down. This suit has a unique BOS Elder Paint mod and is pre-upgraded to BOS VII T-60f.
 * You can purchase a full suit on The Prydwen from the quartermaster.
 * Through various quests with the Brotherhood of Steel, it is possible to earn pieces of unique T-60 armor with extra effects and slightly boosted effects. Honor and Vengeance can be bought from Teagan after each increase in rank (one with promotion to Paladin, and another with promotion to Sentinel). Additionally Exemplar's T-60c & Visionary's T-60c helm can be earned as quest rewards.

Behind the scenes
The T-60 power armor was the first asset created for Fallout 4, back in 2008, although it went through multiple iterations over the years.

Bugs

 * T-60 arms increase AP regeneration rate. Normally, it takes 16 seconds to fully recharge the AP bar (100 action points in this case). With one T-60 arm equipped, it takes 13 seconds. With both T-60 arms equipped, it takes 10 seconds. The bug persists on different power armor frames, with or without other armor pieces. When inspecting the T-60 arms in pip-boy, they show a fourth modification that players can't access via the modification screen.


 * When the player commands a companion (Cait in this case) to don a suit of T-60F power armor with a targeting modification to the helmet, the companion does not initially equip the helmet. When the companion is forced to equip the helmet the player instantly acquires the helmet targeting visuals (certain objects/NPCs are highlighted red) even if the player is not wearing power armor. The targeting visuals apparently persist until the companion removes the helmet, even if the companion has been dismissed as a follower but is still wearing the helmet. It is unknown if this situation will give rise to the bugs associated with wearing targeting helmets during some quests. It is also unknown if this bug also applies to other types of power armor.
