If you wear all 6 pieces of the same armor with a matching paint scheme than you will receive a bonus to SPECIAL stats. Most people use the one in Sanctuary.įinally, each model of Power Armor, with the exception of Raider Armor, can be modified with a paint scheme.
Power Armor can be modified and repaired at Power Armor stations which you will find all over the commonwealth. As the game progresses you will be able to get your hands on Fusion Cores more readily but at the start, use sparingly. Power Armor needs to be powered by a Fusion Core and these do deplete so you won’t be walking around in Power Armor for the whole game. Therefore it might be worth holding off on upgrading until you have the required perks to save on materials.
It’s worth noting that the upgrade materials required are the same from say Model A to B or A straight to D.
