These giant exoskeletons are far more ubiquitous here than in previous Fallout titles, and they play a larger role.
If you're new to the game and feel overwhelmed, fear not. We'll list all the locations down below, and we'll also walk you through repairing the armour if it gets too damaged.
With Dogmeat at your side, you'll be as fearless as Preston Garvey before you know it.
How to repair Fallout 4 power armour
Already found some Power Armour? Good for you! But it'll get busted up fairly easily. Use the video above, or the written steps below, to find out how to repair it.
To repair power armour in Fallout 4, you will need to follow these steps:
- Find a Power Armour Station
- Exit your suit nearby by holding X, A or the E key
- Then interact with the station and select 'Craft'
These Power Armour Stations cannot be missed as they are big, yellow frames. They can be located randomly throughout the wastelands, but areas such as Sanctuary, Home Plate and the Red Rocket Truck Stop have them.
Once you're in, a menu will help you identify which parts of it are most damaged with a health bar, and in exchange for certain materials such as steel, you will be able to repair it easily.
You can then re-equip them in the station or via your inventory. But if you haven't even found a suit of Power Armour yet, keep reading!
Fallout 4 power armour locations
Fallout 4.
There are tons of potential locations in which you can find a power armour suit in Fallout 4, with many variables influencing whether or not they will spawn, so here is a list of areas where they are guaranteed to appear, plus the model type:
- Atom Cats garage - T-60 minus a helmet. Found near the back of the garage. It is technically owned, so it must be either stolen or purchased from Rowdy.
- Glowing Sea cave - Raider. Located inside a tunnel.
- Mass Bay Medical Center - T-45 minus a helmet. Located inside the Radiology department.
- Museum of Freedom - T-45. On the roof next to a crashed Vertibird.

How to find the X-01 power armour suit in Fallout 4
Many players consider the X-01 power armour suit to be the best piece of equipment you can obtain in the game because of its all-round statistics, proving tough to damage and equally powerful in dishing out an assault.
However, it is also very hard to find a complete set in one location. Below we have listed the steps you’ll need to follow to find one without having to traipse around the Commonwealth collecting helmets and chest plates.
- Travel to Custom House Tower which is fairly central in the Commonwealth map.
- Head to the west until you reach a building called Court 35.
- This area is filled with enemies, so arm yourself like a Terminator and prepare for battle.
- Once you have cleared the building out, walk to the roof and you will find the X-01 power armour suit.
- Next, you should gloat about your success.
