T-45 Power Armor (Fallout 4)

T-45 power armor is a power armor set in Fallout 4. It was originally developed and manufactured for the United States Army by American defense contractor West Tek. The T-45 power armor was the first version of power armor to be successfully deployed in battle.

Design
The T-45 lacks the mobility of later power armor models (such as the T-51 power armor) because of its less advanced servo design; as a result it limits the wearer's Agility. The first version of T-45 power armor deployed on the front lines against the Chinese was powered by small energy cells and it burned through them at an alarming rate. Later into the war they were outfited with similar power source to the T-51.

While the T-45 armor is similar in its overall shape to the newer T-51 power armor, it is significantly less advanced than its later counterpart, and uses riveted steel plates instead of plastic composite materials in its construction.The eyeslit for the helmet is made of bulletproof glass to protect the wearer from any projectiles. Various electronic and mechanical subsystems of the armor are exposed on the outside of its casing rather than sealed within as in the T-51, making it far more susceptible to damage. In addition, a specialized body suit is required to be worn underneath the T-45 armored shell in order to facilitate linking the armor's servos to the wearer's own motions and to make the armor more bearable because of its heat dissipation problems.

Characteristics
Developed before the Great War, the T-45 set is one of the first suit of Power Armor deployed widely by the United States Army, and as such, it remains relatively common more than 200 years later. It first appears in the quest When Freedom Calls, where the player character must retrieve a fusion core from the basement of the Museum of Freedom in order to power and utilize an old set of T-45 Power Armor to defend Preston Garvey and his team from attacking raiders, and later, a Deathclaw. A minigun is also taken from a nearby crashed vertibird.

Locations

 * Within this section is a list of scripted locations as most of them will be random parts and level dependent. For a generalized list of locations where Power armor can be found see the page Power armor frame.
 * A full suit of T-45 armor is located next to a crashed Vertibird on the Museum of Freedom roof during the quest, When Freedom Calls however the left arm and right leg components are badly damaged.
 * A full set can be found atop the overpass at Graygarden. Build your settlement up high enough to reach the top tier and it will be waiting for you. A cable lift is also available to the east of the settlement, roughly northwest of College Square.(Level dependent - at higher levels T-51 may spawn instead)
 * Bought from Rowdy at the Atom Cats garage.
 * In Saugus Ironworks Blast Furnace Slag has both Raider and/or T-45 power armor pieces, the T-45 chest piece can be a model F version.
 * A suit without helmet can be obtained in Mass Bay Medical Center, top floor. If one will act quickly enough, the gunner wont enter the suit and the frame can be taken as well.
 * After the first visit to the Hub City Auto Wreckers (and after dealing with Captain Bridget) a Gunner Commander will spawn on the overpass wearing a suit without helmet.
 * Another suit can be found next to a downed Vertibird by the Robotics disposal ground, about 60 meters east-southeast of the main building.
