Fallout 76 Power Armor

Power armor is a unique form of external armor in Fallout 76.

Power armor parts

 * All pieces of power armor must be attached to a power armor chassis.

Each part has a level requirement, meaning player characters cannot enter a power armor frame with parts higher than their own level. Power armor frames have no level requirement, so removing leveled parts will allow entry. The table below shows minimum levels for each type.

To get out of a power armor frame, one must press and hold the same button pressed to get into it, so "E" (PC), "X" (PS4) or "A" (Xbox One).

Power armor pieces are heavy, more than 45 for most full sets. However, if they are on a frame, only the 10 weight of the frame counts in your inventory or stash. If you find pieces that are just a little higher than your current level and want to save them there is a way. Take them off the frame into your inventory. Enter the frame. Exit the frame. Put the pieces back onto the frame. You cannot place it in your inventory, but after 60 seconds it will be recalled to your inventory, along with the over-level armor pieces. You can then transfer it to your stash.
