T-60 Power Armor (Fallout 76)

The T-60 power armor is a piece of power armor in Fallout 76.

Background
As with other power armor models, the T-60 is designed for a single operator. Compared to the T-45, the T-60 is much more heavily armored, although it lacks the sophisticated armor pattern of the T-51. The end result is an extremely protective armor system, though protection comes at the expense of agility and a reduction in battlefield awareness, as the additional power pack armor plating reduces rear visibility together with the oversized pauldrons. As usual for T-series power armor, the helmet completes the ensemble and includes an air filtration system, a bullet-proof vision slit, an electric lamp, and external ports that allow the operator to listen to his surroundings and double as attachments points for extensions. The standard upgrade is a drop-down ocular.

Any shortcomings of the T-60 were compensated for through deployment: a T-60 power armor unit was usually deployed with support from light infantry units, equipped with energy weapons. After the Great War, T-60 power armor became a rare sight until the reformed Brotherhood of Steel under Elder Arthur Maxson recovered a substantial number of these suits and adopted the T-60 as the service uniform of its soldiers.

Characteristics
The T-60 power armor is intended to be a suit designed for use in heavily irradiated zones, offering top of the line radiation protection that's second only to the X-01. Its ballistic protection is mediocre, and noticably weaker than X-01 and Ultracite, and it is outclassed by X-01 in terms of energy protection as well.

The base level that T-60 pieces can be used at is 40. This armor set is a great all-around power armor that is very easy to repair, since it only requires aluminum, circuitry, plastic and steel; no screws or springs are required.

Brotherhood paints
The player can collect Brotherhood rank paints for their set of T-60. Numbered from BOS I-VII, each is a potential quest reward for completing Forbidden Knowledge. You can only obtain a paint after the prior one has been learned. As of now, Initiate paint can no longer drop from Forbidden Knowledge. Note that the BOS IV paint will drop before BOS III, however, learning it will not effect any future paint rewards.

 * (BOS II) T-60 BOS knight paint: A dark grey suit with white details and a knight rank emblem on the left forearm. It bears the Brotherhood of steel symbol on its chest.
