Armor | Fallout 4 Wiki


Armor in Fallout 4 protects the player from damage in the Wasteland.There are also Legendary Armor in the game that are dropped from Legendary Enemies.


Armor can be customized by applying Armor Mods. Generally, save for a few exceptions, Armor pieces in Fallout 4 can be categorised into 5 main types: Combat, Leather, Metal, Raider and Synth. In addition, each armor comes in up to 3 different qualities -- Standard, Sturdy and Heavy. ( Armor Mods are not affected. You can use the same Armor Mods that you used on Standard to a Heavy quality armor of same type.)

Each piece of armor is equipped separately, so you can pick a combination that suits you best. Below, you can see each piece of armor broken down by where it is worn.

Armor

 

Power Armor is Armor in Fallout 4 that is an energized suit. It requires great Strength in order to be able to use and needs a Fusion Core to power it. When a Fusion Core is depleted, you may continue to use the Power Armor in a slower state. If you have another Fusion Core in your inventory when depleting the current one, the Power Armor will automatically consume it.

While wearing Power Armor your carry weight and resistances are much higher but you move more slowly. But you are still able to sprint and jump and buildings can also be entered easily while wearing it. You are even immune to fall damage while wearing the suit. ( Note: Power armor can be stolen. While wearing Power Armor you lose any bonuses from other armor items. You can sneak and fast travel while in Power Armor. Power Armor can be damaged, and needs frequent repairs.)

Power Armor is composed of three elements – a frame, six individual modules (four limbs, torso and head), and a fusion core to power it. You'll need all three to get anywhere.You can even apply different Mods to Power Armor at any Power Armor Station found throughout the Commonwealth to upgrade their base stats. The mods you apply to them determine their models( e.g Modding a T-45 may give you a T-45a ).

Power Armor Locations

You can see the locations for each power armor set on its respective page. However, what armor and parts you encounter is dependent on your character Level. At lower levels you will only encounter T-45 and then T-51 armor as you are closer to Level 15. At the higher levels (Level 28+), you will have a better chance at finding the elusive X-01 Power Armor. As for T-60 Power Armor, it is most commonly obtained through Factions such as the Brotherhood of Steel.
