📋 About This Mod
This is an addon for Bastion - A Power Armor Overhaul, that gives some of the more deadly creatures in the Commonwealth the ability to penetrate Power Armor.
Deathclaws and Behemoths have High pen attacks.
Radscorpions, YaoGuai and Mirelurk Hunters have Medium pen attacks.
Mirelurks and Stingwings have Low pen attacks.
All other creature attacks still have to break through your armor first.
How it works. I added 3 new custom keywords to an els flagged esp, these can then be distributed to melee/unarmed weapons using the Robco Patcher. The ini files are very easy to customize your self if you don't like how I have this setup or want to remove or add some creature attacks. This is a very simple mod so feel free to use it as you like or base other mods off of it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (66k downloads, 143 endorsements) shows it's used widely.
- Tiny addon that does one thing: makes deadly creatures more dangerous with armor pen.
- Uses Robco Patcher, so it's lightweight and doesn't require a full overhaul.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects a few creatures—not a comprehensive tweak.
- Requires Bastion and Robco Patcher as dependencies, so it's not standalone.
For Fallout 4 players who run Bastion and want tougher, more realistic combat against the Commonwealth's nastiest beasts. If you're not using Bastion or Robco Patcher, skip this—it won't work without them.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Bastion and Robco Patcher installed first, and load this addon after them in your mod manager.
- Check the mod's posts section for any updates on which creatures are affected—the description is vague.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, enable this addon and let it sort your load order automatically.
