Power Armour Locations (Frames and Parts)

If you want to get Power Armour then you're going to need Power Armour Frames and Parts.. The frames are the building blocks for all of the Power Armour suits in the game whilst the parts a customizable additions. In this guide I'll show you exactly where to find Power Armour frames and parts.

As you probably know, Power Armour is a mechanical suit that's more of a vehicle than clothing. Wearing Power Armour offers the player an immediate strength boost in addition to becoming a powerhouse in the battlefield. You also gain protection from radiation and suffer no fall damage from great heights.

The armour can be modified to include Jetpacks to help players reach those inaccessible locations; some of which contain rare items and collectibles.

Once you have the frame, you can attach various Power Armour parts to construct your preferred suit. These parts must be in good condition; damaged parts must be repaired first at a Power Armour station before they can be used. Raider Power Armor is the least advanced, X-01 Power Armor is the most advanced, and any other sets fall somewhere in the middle.

Generally you should replace a lesser part with a more advanced part. Here are the different Power Armour types from least advanced to best:

Raider Power Armour - common with few customisation options.
T-45 Power Armour - offers a full set of mods but not quite as good as more advanced sets.
T-51 Power Armour - better protection than the T-45 model.
T-60 Power Armour - easy to find and some with custom paint jobs.
X-01 Power Armour - the most advanced armour available, but also the rarest.

You can get Power Armour in three ways:

Purchase from vendor - fine if you've got the money and know the vendor.
Find in the map - best option for free Power Armour.
Reward from a quest - another good option for free armour, but don't expect the best.
