T-60 Power Armor (Fallout 4)

T-60 power armor is a set of power armor appearing 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-51 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 dropping of the bombs.

As of 2287, the Brotherhood of Steel East Coast Chapter has acquired a vast arsenal of T-60 power armor, as it became the standard issue power armor for the Brotherhood of Steel.

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-45 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.

As with all power armor in the Commonwealth, a power armor frame is required to mount T-60 power armor, and spawned pieces can vary from A to F models.

Locations
Within this section is a list of scripted locations.
 * Four T-60b suits can be found on The Prydwen, though in order to obtain one, the Sole Survivor must join the Brotherhood of Steel and the others are obtained by stealing; however, they can be obtained by using without stealing via the power armor station - unequipping parts in the workbench menu will mark them as unowned in the station's inventory.
 * Pieces can be bought from Rowdy at the Atom Cats garage with their custom paint job.
 * Paladin Danse's personal T-60d power armor (with a Brotherhood paladin paint mod) is rewarded to the player character upon completing Blind Betrayal.
 * 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.
 * A T-60b suit can be looted from the body of Knight-Sergeant Gavil after Rockets' Red Glare. This suit also has a unique BoS III knight sgt paint only found from him. He is found at the same place the Sole Survivor first met him, at the airport depot, lying near his terminal.
 * You can purchase a full suit on the Prydwen from Proctor Teagan.
 * 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 and Visionary's T-60c helm can be earned as quest rewards.
 * The rogue knight also wears a full T-60b suit.
 * Clint at Quincy Ruins wears a T-60 torso.
 * Similarly, a Gunner commander on the Bradberton Overpass wears a T-60 torso piece.
 * Full suits are normally worn by Brotherhood of Steel soldiers. They can be obtained by looting them from the corpses of the said troops if somehow they were killed in the line of duty. Looting the pieces won't affect your relationship with the Brotherhood.

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 the Pip-Boy, they show a fourth modification that players can't access via the modification screen.
 * This bug only affects the T-60b arms as it is specific to that mod.
 * 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 player acquires the helmet targeting visuals (certain objects/potential targets/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.
