Power armor is a unique form of external armor in Fallout 4.

General information[]

Fo4 power armor concept art

T-45, T-51, T-60 and X-01 power armor

Power armor is a multi-component armor unit, comprised of a base frame, with assorted armor pieces mounted on it. For power armor to function it requires a fusion core as a source of power, which drains over time; actions that consume AP will increase the rate of depletion. Once depleted, the unit will still be operable, but the movement is heavily restricted as it is dead weight.

Comparison to previous portrayals[]

Power armor in Fallout 4 requires no training to use as it did in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and is unique in other aspects as well.

Firstly, the separate armor segments are mounted on a frame, as opposed to previous suits that existed as holistic entities that were worn whole, aside from the helmet. The individual armor pieces can be reclaimed from deceased persons, however, the frame cannot be recovered as the corpse cannot be ejected from the frame.

Secondly, characters interact with the frame in the world to use the power armor, instead of equipping the power armor via the inventory. Power armor now uses fusion cores as 'fuel' to power them for a few hours. This is similar to how T-45d was supposed to use small energy cells as a fuel source in Van Buren.

Once the fusion core is drained (or if there is no core installed in the armor at all), the user will still be able to slowly walk in the armor but will be over-encumbered and unable to use V.A.T.S. or hold breath when aiming with scopes. Power armor negates falling damage, as well as damaging others near the point of impact.

Third, however, is the most 'accurate' rendition to date with regards to the size of the armor, its general movement, and abilities. Unlike the descriptions regarding power armor from previous Fallout games, the power armor frame does not appear to make use of any recognizable form of unified hydraulics system for strength enhancing purposes, although they could somehow be contained within the armor segments or the base frame itself. It instead appears to solely derive its strength boosting abilities entirely from servo motors strategically placed within key points of the frame.

Finally, instead of gloves and boots, the power armor frame has a set of fully articulated mechanical hands and feet, which mimic the wearer's hand and foot movements via controls in the shins and forearms. This increases the wearer's arm length and overall height by approximately one foot.

Power armor is capable of boosting the Sole Survivor's strength beyond the normal S.P.E.C.I.A.L. limit of 10, potentially going as high as 14 with the appropriate modifications. Wearing power armor negates any bonuses given by standard armor.

Power armor helmets have fully functional headlamps that are used in place of the Pip-Boy lights, which is disabled while wearing the armor.

Unlike previous renditions of power armor, each power armor piece has its own hit point counter which depletes as damage is taken, as opposed to being spread across the full suit. Broken power armor pieces cannot be mounted on a power armor frame, but can be dropped and displayed. They can also be sold for the same price as a piece in perfect condition.

In Fallout 4 power armor has had several alterations in regards to its physics (as the frames with their plates affixed are heavy enough to crush bear traps by stepping on them). This weight adjustment renders the wearer incapable of swimming, with the user instead walking across the bed of any given body of water. This makes wearing power armor at places like Libertalia risky as falling off the walkways will cause the wearer to sink to the bottom and have to walk to shore.

Handheld or wrist-mounted weapons such as knuckles, cannot be equipped due to the significant difference in fist and wrist size.

While wearing helmeted power armor, the Sole Survivor can remain underwater for an extended period, though not indefinitely; after several minutes submerged, the drowning animation will play, and the player character will lose health rapidly. Unless one is close to shore and can jump to get their head above water (so as to breathe air), the Sole Survivor will drown. Eating a mirelurk cake, which allows breathing underwater, will prevent or end this drowning.

Power armor also completely negates all fall damage, with or without any pieces of armor attached, enabling the wearer to hop down from even the tallest of skyscrapers without any harm to either health or the armor itself. This, however, causes a very loud thud and will alert any nearby enemies of the player character's position. Landing on or in close proximity to an enemy or even friendly NPC deals a great deal of damage to them from the fall as well, which may cause them to become hostile.

The elevation indicator on the compass disappears while wearing power armor, making all foes appear as if they are on the same floor on the compass. All distance values disappear as well, which can potentially result in some unpleasant surprises when marked threats are actually much closer already than one thought.

Companions[]

Companions can be instructed to enter power armor via the companion command system. This is done by selecting Talk when facing a companion, then instructing them to Enter power armor when the player character's crosshair is over the power armor suit they wish for them to occupy. Certain companions (e.g. Nick and Hancock,) will remove the helmet by default. One can force them to wear the helmet by equipping it from the companion's inventory, as with standard armor pieces. To have a companion exit power armor, select the Talk dialogue option and Relationship will have been replaced by Exit Power Armor. Some companions however are unable or will refuse to use power armor.

Paladin Danse will refuse to exit his power armor and cannot be assigned to another suit. His power armor also does not degrade from combat or fall damage.

Companion worn power armor does not drain the fusion core if it has one installed and can use core-less frames without penalty.

Maintenance and modification[]

The parts may be repaired and modified at power armor stations located around the Commonwealth, where a power armor frame is installed at, or within close proximity of the station. The armor and frame can neither be renamed nor scrapped for component materials. Power armor stations can be built at settlement locations under the crafting tab in workshop mode, if the player character has the necessary perks.

There are six tiers for each power armor piece, each granting higher damage resistance and health. 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 character'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 specialized materials for their upgrades than for example T-45 or raider power armor.

There are several mods that can be installed in various pieces.

Each model of power armor (except the raider power armor), can be modified with a unique paint scheme, most of which are acquired by progressing through the questlines of the four main factions. Some paints (Minutemen, Railroad) unlock after only a handful of quests while others like the Institute Paint require the completion of the entire corresponding questline. All of them grant the wearer a bonus to a specific SPECIAL stat if all six armor pieces are painted the same:

  • The Minutemen paint increases Charisma and is exclusive to T-45 power armor.
  • The Railroad paint increases Perception and can only be applied to T-51 power armor.
  • The Brotherhood of Steel provides up to four paint jobs for knights, paladins and sentinels and the elder respectively. All four increase Strength and are exclusive to T-60 power armor. If preferring to use other power armor pieces, but also wanting to have the Brotherhood emblem on the torso, any piece painted with military paint also grants the SPECIAL bonus.
  • The Institute paint increases Intelligence and can only be applied to X-01 power armor.
  • The Vault-Tec paint increases Charisma and can be applied to all types of power armor.
  • The Atom Cats custom paint job is the only one that must be bought in order to be freely available, although painted T-60 parts can be purchased directly from Rowdy at the Atom Cats garage. It is also the only paint job that grants two bonuses at once by increasing Charisma and reducing the Action Points cost for sprinting. It can only be applied to T-60 power armor.
  • The three Hot Rodder paint jobs that can be unlocked by finding the respective magazine. Hot Rodder schemes can be applied to all types of power armor and increase Agility. The three paint jobs are Hot Rod Flames paint, Hot Rod Hot Pink paint, and Hot Rod Shark paint.
  • The Vim! Refresh paint job provides an increase in Agility, while the Vim! paint job provides an increase in Strength when all pieces have been painted. Both can only be applied to T-51 power armor.
  • The Sugar Bombs paint job provides a Strength increase with all pieces painted and can only be applied to T-51 power armor.
  • The Abraxo paint job provides an Agility increase with all pieces painted and can only be applied to T-51 power armor.

The helmet's lamp can even be customized with different colored light filters or a more intense white light in place of the default one.

Variants[]

Empty frame[]

FO4 Power Armor Frame

Empty power armor frames are rare to find in the Commonwealth but can be purchased from several merchants. These are the base units on which all power armor types are mounted. They also have the secondary function of acting as a stand within power armor stations for the Sole Survivor to repair and upgrade power armor pieces.

Leveled power armor[]

Most power armor located around the Commonwealth is level scaled, up to maximum level of an area. For example, at lower levels, one will find T-45 power armor though at higher levels it can range from T-51 power armor up to X-01 power armor. Leveled frames spawn with T-45 pieces at levels 1-13, T-51 pieces at levels 14-20, T-60 pieces at levels 21-27 and X-01 pieces at level 28 and above. The upgrade level of armor pieces also increases within these ranges, e.g. T-45b armor will spawn starting at level 11. The armor pieces generated do not include previous levels, e.g. a leveled frame encountered at level 26 will only have T-60 pieces.

Frames sometimes spawn with incomplete sets of armor.

Randomized frames can spawn with raider pieces at any level, T-45 pieces starting at level 15, T-51 pieces starting at level 25, T-60 pieces starting at level 35 and X-01 pieces starting at level 45. The armor pieces generated include all previous levels, e.g. a randomized frame encountered at level 26 can spawn with any combination of T-51, T-45, and raider armor pieces.

The USSA-developed power armor was used by Hubris Studios on the set of Captain Cosmos as part of a promotional stunt[1] hoping to kindle support for the failing Mars Shot Project, shortly before the Great War.[2]

Horse power armor[]

FO4CC Horse power armor
主页面: Horse power armor

Similar in origin and function to raider power armor, this suit has Giddyup Buttercup parts on the helmet, arms, torso and legs. It is a standalone power armor type and does not share anything else than its appearance with the raider power armor.

Locations[]

The parts of armor (ex. body, head, etc.) are in a fixed number and type for each spawn point. Some frames appear to spawn different parts by loading a save from before ever entering that area, but the type of armor (e.g. T-45, T-51, X-01, etc.) depends on the player character's level when entering the area for the first time. Additional power armor pieces of any type can be purchased from Rowdy at the Atom Cats garage.

Unowned[]

Location or Area Armor set Description

Owned[]

If worn, frames can be stolen by destroying or pickpocketing the fusion core. Whenever a player character enters a stolen frame, if there are power armor pieces equipped on the frame while doing so, companions that the player character currently has in tow, or within the area, will consider the act as "stealing" and the player character's affinity with them will be lowered.

Location Description
Gunners plaza The Gunner commander that spawns in the Master-locked news room will occasionally spawn with a partial set of T-60 or T-45 power armor, based on level.
The Prydwen An infinite amount can be stolen from the Prydwen and Boston Airport if allied with the Brotherhood of Steel. This has also created a glitch where frames would be stolen when fast traveling to a location; they were stored and later reappear restocked with half durability pieces and a new fusion core as long as the Brotherhood characters were not killed while collecting the frames. If the frames are left with the core intact, they will not be returned.
Quincy ruins The Gunner commander on the overpass who replaces Clint has a set of T-45 power armor. Allowing the enemy to enter the armor will let the player character kill and loot the armor pieces, and then have the power armor frame itself and new parts respawn later, making this one of the few places to get respawning power armor other than raider. See bugs and notes.
Quincy police station Worn by Tessa.
Mass Fusion Building Used by the Gunner commander. May be fixed as partial set of T-45 power armor.
Hub City Auto Wreckers Worn by the Gunner commander (spawned replacement for Captain Bridget who does not have any), can be stolen by destroying or pickpocketing the fusion core, and then have the power armor frame itself and new parts re-spawn later, making this one of the few places to get respawning power armor other than raider. Appears to be fixed as partial set of T-45 power armor.
Fort Hagen hangar Automatron (add-on) A uniquely-named frame and three unique parts (Tesla T-60 left/right arms and chest) are worn by the Rust Devil leader, Ivey, along with other pieces and a unique gun, the Tesla rifle.
Waypoint Echo Two Brotherhood of Steel soldiers, one of them wearing a full suit of BOS T-60 power armor, garrison this outpost once Liberty Reprimed has been completed. They respawn every couple of ingame days when killed even if the Brotherhood has been destroyed during the main questline.
Atom Cats garage One empty frame and one frame with a set of Atom Cats T-60 power armor can be stolen. If wanting the extra pieces, they need to be removed from frame before stealing the frame. Two or three members will wear other suits during fights, so more pieces available if they are killed. Zeke's frame is marked as unowned, and can be taken and is not considered stealing.

Raider-owned[]

Location Description
Dunwich Borers Used by a raider can be stolen by destroying or pickpocketing the fusion core. This site and armor also respawn, so lots of pieces available.
Lexington Used by a raider north of the Corvega Assembly Plant. The location has no name; go east on the street just to the north of the plant until approaching the outside stairs on the building with the painted Nuka Cola billboard. Climb up the stairs to the top; this site is respawning, so lots of pieces available. 2nd set, also respawned, available at the top of a highrise one block east. It has a Pulowski Preservation shelter outside it. Go around back and climb the fire escape to the top.
MS Azalea Far Harbor (add-on) Worn by a named Trapper. Partial set.

Saugus Ironworks Worn by Slag. Site and Forge members respawn. Replacement for Slag does have power armor, assuming the frame was not stolen. T-45 torso with raider arms and legs.
Wreck of the USS Riptide Used by raider on barge beneath the bridge. This site and armor also respawn, so lots of pieces available.
Massachusetts State House On a raider commander, in the final room before taking an elevator back to the surface.
Settlements At higher levels, raiders attacking settlement sites may use power armor. Mostly occurs when settlers ask about needing defenses.
Cola-cars arena Nuka-World (add-on) Overboss power armor worn by Colter.

Notes[]

  • There is no drain on a power armor's fusion core during fast travel.
    • Fast travel is possible even without a fusion core.
  • The "drained core" over-encumbered state supersedes that of exceeding the carry weight limit and prevents the intermittent damage normally applied to survival players wearing an unpowered frame while carrying more than their listed weight limit.
  • In very rare cases these frames may spawn with no armor attached at all. Also, on other occasions nothing at all will be found at the expected site, e.g. even the power frame will be missing.
  • Because power armor uses fusion cores as a power source, removing it by any means (stealing it, or dealing a sufficient amount of damage) will force it to power down, forcing its pilot to exit, unless they have a spare fusion core in their inventory. This will allow the Sole Survivor to obtain an essentially unlimited number of power armor suits, although all of them obtained through this method will be considered stolen.
  • Shooting off an enemy's fusion core will often cause the core to become unstable and eject and eventually explode with a destructive force similar to that of a Fat Man's projectile.
    • Having the Penetrator perk or the Yellow Belly syringe for the Syringer makes it easier to target.
    • Danse and Ingram have special "locked cores" which are hidden and cannot be stolen or shot out.
    • When destroyed, the fusion core will drop to the ground, tick for a moment, then explode with a magnitude similar to a nuke mine.
  • Looting armor pieces from dead NPCs will not prevent the armor from respawning later if the location resets. However, removing the power armor frame itself from the location can prevent it from respawning later. This is more likely if the frame is free-standing (i.e. placed in the world, not on an NPC), but can occur if the frame is stolen from an NPC using one of the above methods.
  • Certain bodies of water feature very steep banks and can't be walked out of, like the flooded shaft at the bottom of Dunwich Borers where Kremvh's Tooth is found. Escaping such a location is possible only by exiting the power armor underwater. While the armor pieces and the fusion core can be salvaged from the power armor frame, the frame itself will become unrecoverable.
  • Power armor makes the player character invulnerable to all forms of instant-kill attacks, including the brutal pick-up kills used by deathclaws.
  • Some NPCs will comment on the player character wearing power armor, including several companions, the guards at Diamond City, and children. Comments range from confusion and suspicion to amazement and comments of impression or even more rarely, mild disdain.
  • Using the console to spawn a power armor frame via player.placeatme will spawn it at an angle. Attempting to enter the armor in this state can crash the game. After spawning it, click on it in the console and enter the two following commands: setangle X 0 and setangle Y 0 (spawning with code 00225A5F requires no additional adjustments.)
  • Power armor pieces spawned through the console will have a random model number tied to it.
  • A mining helmet may be worn and used in place of the power armor helmet and Pip-Boy.
  • After finishing the Brotherhood of Steel, Commonwealth Minutemen or Railroad ending, the respective faction will guard some of the power armor locations on the map at several military checkpoints.
  • Friendly characters can and will take power armor frames from settlements with fusion cores in them. This can be prevented by keeping power armor stored in enclosed spaces that they cannot reach or by removing the fusion core upon exiting the armor. Idle characters also won't use power armor frames that are stored at a power armor station. However, if they are stored with active fusion cores this won't prevent them from being used in a raider attack or being stolen.
    • Inhabitants of a player character's settlements will automatically get in nearby power armor frames if the settlement is under attack. They will get out of the frames if talked to by the player character. Merchants such as clothing vendors and doctors will not get out of the power armor when talked to. They will instead do their normal dialogue options. Though the power armor pieces can be traded from them after their store is closed for the day.
    • Settlers and companions may abandon their power armor when they decide to use a bed or man a guardpost.
  • Unequipped suits should not be left in a settlement with settlers that are equipped with Gatling lasers. The settler's AI prioritizes the armor over the Gatling laser, which means in case of an attack they will immediately use the weapon's fusion core to appropriate the armor instead of shooting the attackers. They will then proceed to fight with their Gatling laser if there is more than one fusion core in their inventory, but it still puts the armor at risk of sustaining heavy damage or even getting lost somewhere in or around the settlement.
  • While in combat or in the Glowing Sea, exiting and entering power armor will take a noticeably shorter amount of time, as well as having different animations, showing the player character leaping in or out of the power armor. When entering, the player character will only use one arm, and may look around nervously, before leaping into the suit. The suit also takes a shorter amount of time to close around the player character.

Behind the scenes[]

Power armor in Fallout 4 was primarily designed by art director Istvan Pely.[3]

Bugs[]

  • Has platform::PCPC In the USS Constitution hold, if one is wearing power armor and decides to exit the power armor, it will turn invisible, while still being able to enter it.[已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Attempting to modify an empty power armor frame on a power armor stand will crash the game. [已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Playstation 4Playstation 4 Has platform::Xbox OneXbox One 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.[已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Playstation 4Playstation 4 Has platform::Xbox OneXbox One While in first person, the smoke from the power armor's jet-pack won't go away until re-entering the suit or removing and equiping the chest piece.[已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Xbox OneXbox One While wearing power armor, it may be impossible to exit it. No known fix exists.[已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Playstation 4Playstation 4 Has platform::Xbox OneXbox One Entering or exiting power armor may sometimes override the Quick Hands perk slowing down reload times, switching weapons fixes this.[已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Playstation 4Playstation 4 Has platform::Xbox OneXbox One If all armor is stripped from a frame and the frame is then left alone for a long time, it's possible that the frame will visually show random pieces still on it, despite them having no effect. This can be fixed by interacting with the armor such as inserting a fusion core. [已验证]
  • * Has platform::Xbox OneXbox One If the player character exits their power armor to talk to Shaun in the Institute and enters it before talking to the Institute director, the power armor will deform every time the player character enters dialogue.[已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Mass Pike Interchange has bug such that multiple sets of frame plus T-45 armor are respawned. Have seen as much as 17 sets standing around (2 lower level, 14 upper level and one on ground). Getting crowded up there. Taking one or more of these suits results in bad news: location stopped all respawning, including Gunners and all items. However, restoring to previous save will set things back to normal - multiple suits with new one appearing as a result of respawn. [已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Playstation 4Playstation 4 Roadside Pines motel has similar bug, has created 3 sets of raider power armor at location. Raider used one, leaving two behind at last count.[已验证]
  • Has platform::Xbox OneXbox One Sometimes, a power armor frame will appear to be a full set of any of the 5 power armors, depending on what was last equipped on the power armor. Interestingly, the only one of these that doesn't look like the base power armor paint scheme, is the T-60, which has the Brotherhood Of Steel paint.[已验证]
  • Has platform::Xbox OneXbox One Entering this building while wearing power armor causes the compass directions displayed at the bottom of the screen to be incorrectly rotated by 180°. [已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Xbox OneXbox One Sometimes when attempting to force an enemy out of their power armor by shooting the fusion core, the fusion core's health will show as depleted in VATS and a particle effect will signal its destruction but nothing will happen, and the enemy will continue to use the armor normally. [已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Xbox OneXbox One Sometimes, while trying to force an enemy out of their power armor by shooting off their power armor's fusion core, it will not eject from their power armor and lets the ememy stay inside. However, the fusion core explodes inside the power armor, killing the wearer. Making the frame useless. When this bug occurs, load a previous save or else this keeps happening.[已验证]
  • Has platform::Playstation 4Playstation 4 When using power armor on the PS4 version, the Dualshock 4 controller's light bar will turn orange to match the HUD color generated from the armor. Upon exiting, it will revert to its previous color. If the player dies or reloads another save file while using the power armor, however, the light bar will remain orange until the armor is and entered and exited again.
