📋 About This Mod
This mod changes every available power armor stats to make sense! The mod doesn't touch the Damage Threshold (DT) too much for balance sake (changes to DT will be shown down bellow)! I also didn't touch the Charisma Debuff that the Remnant armor has.
If you like this mod, don't forget to endorse! :D
Changes this mod makes: : All power armor carries itself now when worn. : No more loss of Agility when wearing T-45d. : Gannon Family Tesla Armor is no longer considered Medium armor, it's now Heavy. : All the power armor's have gotten their strength and radiation resistance changed to be more like the Fallout 1 & 2 stats. : Enclave remnant power armor has been renamed to X-01 Mark II Power Armor : Adds in unused power armor like the Enclave armors from Fallout 3. : Rumor has it you can find 3 models of the X-02 east coast Enclave armors in Dead wind Cavern...
