Fallout 4 armor mods

Usage
In Fallout 4, armor can be modified using junk components. Anyone can create new base-level modifications, remove any existing modifications from armor, and apply any player character-owned modifications to armor. The Armorer perk is required for creating new modifications of level 1 and above.

Power armor
One can add and remove mods from the power armor frame at a power armor station. Modding the armor can increase its Damage Resistance, change paint materials, improve core efficiency, or add bonus stats and effects.
