📋 About This Mod
If you're tired of rebuilding your companion's power armor after each mission, then this mod is for you.
Only variable changed is fPowerArmorNPCArmorDamageMultiplier from 3 to 1. Which leads me to assume that companions power armor takes triple damage by default.
This mod was made with FO4Edit and should be compatible with 99. 99% of other mods out there unless they touch this single variable.
This simple gameplay mod reduces the NPC Power Armor Damage Multiplier from 3 to 1, making power-armored enemies less tanky. It's for players who find high-level enemies with power armor too bullet-spongy. With 301 endorsements and a 2015 update, it's a lightweight tweak for Fallout 4.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Makes power-armored enemies actually killable without emptying a mag.
- Tiny mod, no bloat, just changes one number.
- 301 endorsements show it's been tested and liked by the community.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects NPCs, not your own power armor, so don't expect a difficulty rebalance.
- Old mod from 2015, might not be updated for newer game patches or DLC.
- Could make some encounters too easy if you're used to the tanky power armor.
This is for players who are tired of shooting power-armored raiders and Gunners for minutes. It's also for those who want a more realistic damage model where power armor doesn't make NPCs invincible. If you're a purist who likes the challenge, skip it.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Make sure to load this mod after any other mods that change NPC damage multipliers to avoid conflicts.
