📋 About This Mod
This small esp-free file provides global direct explosion resistance for anyone wearing power armor.
This ability has been provided thanks to the power of the illustrious ShowOff xNVSE plugin.
The standard value is -25% damage.
Customization:
To alter the degree of resistance provided by power armor, simply change the
fDamageMult = 0. 75line in the text file to whatever you want.
This value is a multiplier - 1. 0 would be full damage, 0. 0 would be complete immunity, 0. 5 would be half damage, 2. 0 would be doubled damage.
Requirements:
JIP LN, xNVSE, Johnny, ShowOff, the usual stuff.
Installation:
Regular installation.
Please endorse and vote if you appreciate the mod.
Compatibility:
Compatible with any power armor that is appropriately in the AllPowerArmor formlist.
Should this be used with STARS?
I'm not sure, I haven't tried it out to see how the balancing is. It's your call.
Credits:
Thanks to Demorome for creating all of the delicious event handlers in ShowOff.
Permissions:
Do whatever.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective—no bloat, just the resistance boost
- ESP-free means it won't clutter your load order or cause conflicts
- Decent community trust (202 endorsements) for such a niche tweak
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2023, so it might not be tested with the latest game patches
- Only affects explosion resistance—if you wanted other power armor buffs, this isn't it
For Fallout 4 players who run power armor and hate getting one-shot by frag grenades or mines. If you want a no-fuss, lightweight survival boost without touching your load order, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a full power armor overhaul or gameplay rebalance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESP-free, just drop the file into your Fallout 4 Data folder and enable it in your mod manager or plugins.txt.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, you can still install it manually—just make sure it's not conflicting with other power armor mods.
- Test it by throwing a grenade at your feet (in a safe save) to see the resistance difference.
