Fallout 4 Power Armor

General information


Power armor is almost always attached to a power armor frame. The frame and its parts may be repaired and modified at Power armor stations located around the Commonwealth, but can neither be renamed nor scrapped for component materials. Power armor stations can be built at settlement locations under the crafting tab.

Most power armor located around the Commonwealth is level scaled. For example, at lower levels you will find T-45 power armor though at higher levels it can range from T-51 power armor up to X-01 power armor.

The amounts of materials required for upgrading power armor pieces are fixed for each specific item, which means improving an armor piece from tier E to F has the same material cost as upgrading it from tier A to F. Depending on the player's current situation, it might sometimes be wiser to postpone the next upgrade until higher (or the maximum) ranks of Armorer and Science! have been unlocked in order to save resources. This is especially true for the more advanced power armor models as they require much larger quantities of increasingly rare and specialised materials for their upgrades than for example T-45 or Raider Power Armor.

Bugs

 * Companions dismissed while wearing stolen power armor back to a settlement may show up without it at a later time. It is advised to not leave dismissed companions in stolen power armor outside of supervision. Companions with stolen power armor may glitch and become the owner of the power armor, now thinking that you stole it. Therefore, they will try to kill you and be unavailable as a companion. Unknown if this occurs with "owned" power armor. The lost armor can often be found around the settlement the companion was sent to.  (this need not be a bug, as companions will exit their power armor when it is time to sleep; companions that do not sleep like Nick Valentine are less likely to "lose" their power armor)
 * In the USS Constitution Hold if you are wearing power armor and decide to exit the power armor it will turn invisible, while still being able to enter it.
 * Whether you can wear head apparel in a helmet-less suit of power armor seems inconsistent.
 * It appears that entering a full suit of power armor, then taking off the helmet via the apparel menu will result in your headgear not being shown, although it is still displayed as equipped in the items menu. Entering already helmet-less power armor usually circumvents this issue, meaning any worn headgear will continue to show up correctly.
 * Attempting to equip armor pieces which are already worn after unequipping the Power Armor helmet will cause them to show up normally. In both equipped and unequipped state, headgear, glasses and masks will show up as equipped if they were equipped when entering Power Armor.
 * While wearing power armor, it is possible to latch on to corners of very steep inclines or even vertical walls, making wall climbing possible with the jet pack mod.
 * At least 1 rare game breaking bugs has been linked with power armor usage, in particular the repeating geiger counter sound which requires loading an older save.
 * If a Companion gets into a suit of power-armor that has no fusion core, they will not be hindered by it and will even be able to use the light as if it did have a core
 * When entering a suit of Power Armor from the front side, sometimes the character will get stuck running into the suit. Sometimes it helps to enter the menu.
 * If you encounter this bug, the animation may be skipped by pressing escape a number of times (6-12)
 * While in first person, the smoke from the power armor's jet-pack won't go away until you re-enter the suit or remove and equip the chest piece.
 * The armor parts equipped on a power armor frame may not match the appearance of the power armor. This may be fixed by removing all parts equipped on it and then putting them back on.
 * Settlers in a settlement can equip power armor during attacks on the settlement. This can lead to a glitch where the settler "absorbs" the power armor. The settler's model becomes stretched to the proportions of the power armor and when interacted with the sole survivor will ask them to removed their power armor however nothing will happen. The power armor at this point, is unrecoverable. Fast traveling, sleeping, and reloading saves do not appear to fix the issue.
