Fallout 4 Power Armor Guide

Power up your power armor with this guide to Fallout 4's power armor system, including how to get your hands on the first one within minutes of leaving the vault.

Power Armor is a very, very powerful weapon that’s a bit different than in Fallout 3. There is three core mechanics to power armor that’s critical to keep in mind:

1. Power Armor has increased defense, gives automatic Strength 11, and provides radiation resistances. You are immune to fall damage while in power armor.
2. Power Armor requires a Fusion Core to power. Anything consuming AP will consume the Fusion Core.
3. Power Armor is heavily moddable with a variety of parts located throughout the world.

There is some other basics to power armor, for instance, you can go inside buildings with it, talk to people, and loot items while in power armor. Movement doesn’t consume energy and unless stolen, power armor will remain where you leave it.
