Power Armor Overhaul
If you miss the times when Power Armor was something special, something that you strive to get instead of being given to you 10 minutes in the game, then this is the mod for you!
POWER ARMOR TRAINING:
- Huge debuffs if you use Power Armor without training (See your perks for details)
- Only affects the player, not NPCs
- Training manual can be found in your Prydwen personal chest (when you become Knight) or bought for free from Proctor Teagan
- Debuffs are disabled during "When Freedom Calls" Quest & only while you are in the area of Concord
PAINTS AND PLATING:
- Paints can be added together with plating like Prism or Titanium
- Photovoltaic is now a type of plating
DAMAGE REDUCTION & ARMOR CLASS:
- Each piece of Power Armor gives 7% DR for a total of 42% (Same as in Fallout 76)
- Wearing full set of Power Armor (except Raider) gives a 35% chance to deflect all damage (Same as in Fallout 1)
- Fat Man nukes, Missiles, EMP & Deathclaws ignore DR & AC
- Poison gas immunity while in full Power Armor (except Raider)
- Check your Perks for details on AC & DR
LORE RESTORATION:
- T51 DMG resistance is between that of the T60 and the X01
- T51 RAD resistance is loweer than T45, T51, X01
- Raider PA has 90% less RAD resistance
- All models need more repair materials (Same as in Fallout 76)
- Random Power Armor sets around the world are level-independent, always model A & have a lore friendly chance per model to appear (T45: 30%, T51: 20%, T60: 40%, X01: 10%)
(T45: 30%, T51: 15%, T60: 50%, X01: 5%)
QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES & BALANCE:
- Fast animation to enter/exit PA
- BoS & Institute paints offer +4 CHR (membership to the faction required)
- Helmet-less T45 Gunners are now wearing helmet
- PA Raiders wear all pieces of it
- Fixed T60 Leg models b & e giving extra AP refresh bonus without reason
