Raider Power Armor (Fallout 4)

Raider power armor is a variant of power armor in Fallout 4. It is used by some raider leaders and high-level raiders. Raider power armor has the worst statistics of any type of power armor and has few upgrade options.

Characteristics
A full set of raider power armor provides 500 points of Damage Resistance and 250 points of Energy Resistance. It can be cheaply upgraded to Raider II armor to increase the DR to 620 points. In comparison with the first two versions of T-45 armor, raider power armor has the same damage resistance but worse energy resistance.

Raider power armor can be repaired with steel. This armor does not spawn by level, and can only be found by location.

The armor appears to be just be scrap metal over the limbs of the power armor frame, most notably in the legs as they don't appear to be from any specific suit. The torso appears to be from a T-45 chest piece and the arms and shoulders appear to be from a heavily damage T-51. The helmet is not from any suit and appears to be homemade but it does show some professional attachments such as what appears to be a transceiver on the back and reinforcement on the face plate protecting the wearers eyes.

There are a few downsides using power armor, the normal armor you can wear while inside the power armor does not count towards your total amount of damage, energy and radiation resistance, and will be taking up some of your precious carry capacity. This is because even though you are wearing the armor, and it is shown as equipped in your inventory, it is not actually worn. This also means that, even though you still are wearing your armor pieces while inside the power armor, the possible bonuses you get from some pieces of armor will not count.

Variants

 * Tessa's fist (right arm)- Found on Tessa in the Quincy ruins.

Locations

 * One location is in the town of Lexington. A raider spawns on a roof once a day, across from the Corvega Plant. The raider, however, is equipped with a Fat Man and guarded by turrets. They are on a bridge between two buildings overlooking the town square. This group of Raiders will respawn. There is also another raider with a pipe rifle that spawns at the same time atop the building surrounding the pool. To get up there, use the fire escape next to the basketball court.
 * There is also a full set of armor in a cave just northwest of the Skylanes Flight 1665 plane crash. The suit is in the middle of the cave next to the body of a dead bandit.
 * On a raider named Boomer in Outpost Zimonja.
 * At the Wreck of the USS Riptide there is a raider psycho with a set of armor. Raiders will respawn.
 * At the Roadside Pines motel in a corner.
 * An incomplete set on a raider at Federal ration stockpile just outside 'Red's door.
 * A raider can be found wearing a full set on the top floor of the Massachusetts State House, guarded by turrets and multiple raiders.
 * Tessa has a unique raider power armor right arm named Tessa's Fist
 * A raider NW of Finch farm
 * On a raider veteran outside Dunwich Borers
 * In an unmarked cave in the Glowing Sea
 * On the roof of the Captain's Cabin at Libertalia there is a Raider Veteran with a set of armor.
 * In Saugus Ironworks Blast Furnace there is a "Forged leader" that has both Raider and/or T-45 power armor pieces. (Respawning)

Bugs

 * When killing a raider wearing raider power armor, the power armor's fusion core is not a guaranteed drop, regardless of the fact that it is visible on the back of the raider.
 * Using the suit at Roadside Pines motel is considered theft.
 * Placing a Raider Power Left Arm on a frame without a right leg may cause a Raider Power right leg to appear visually. If the game is saved then loaded, then the left arm would disappear and a Right Leg would appear in the frame's inventory. Observed on a frame with T-50 armor in all other regions.
