Stomp around the wasteland in style with a power armour suit.
If stomping around the wasteland feeling like a god is your thing, then obtaining a power armour suit is a surefire way to achieve that sensation.
It gives the player many bonuses, such as increased strength and the ability to negate any damage taken by falling from a great height.
The image of the armour’s bulky and sinister-looking helmet has become iconic, featured on the front cover of several Fallout games.

How to repair Fallout 4 power armour
To repair power armour in Fallout 4 you will need a power armour repair station.
These cannot be missed as they are big, yellow frames. They can be located randomly throughout the wastelands, but areas such as Sanctuary and Home Plate have them.
To fix your armour, you simply walk into the frame wearing it and then exit the suit.
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.
How to mod Fallout 4 power armour
To mod power armour in Fallout 4, you must follow a similar procedure to fixing it using a repair station.
Walking up to the frame, you must exit your suit and then you will have an option on screen to craft. Here, you will be able to improve the strength of certain parts of the armour, as well as paint it.
To do this, you will need a ton of junk and materials, so collecting scrap is important on your travels.
It is also essential to note that upgrading your Science, Blacksmith and Armourer perks will help you obtain the best mods for your power armour.
