Fallout 4: Best Power Armor and Regular Armors for Survival Mode (Including DLC)

[@makotomikami]

Good video, but I found a couple of minor mistakes: 1. About ignoring T-60 armor: if you don't side with the BoS, are you kidding? If you become enemies with the BoS, you'll get access to virtually unlimited quantities of T-60 armor parts just because of all the BoS soldiers you'll have to kill, heck, even if you side with them, you'll still bump into a lot of dead BoS members that are usually patrolling the Commonwealth and get killed by enemies, like in Mass Relay where the BoS likes to attack and get cluster-fucked by the Super Mutants there and neighboring raiders. 2. Stimpaks do NOT affect your immunity, they just make you dehydrated, it's Radaway and other chems which can potentially affect your immunity.

[@johnavdellis6646]

Naod Amdetsyon I've used that technique to get back with multiple set I think put nick in power armor is either ironic or redundant

[@paulspydar]

I used to do that, but I found that companions power armor always gets fucked up pretty fast in combat because of AI & wot not , So all that ,means is I have two sets to repair, so no point imho, plus I must own about 40 sets of power armor by now,

[@WalterPupet]

For anyone coming back to this 3 years later. I would like to point out that the zealot marine armor with the ultra light weight mod weighs 11.8lbs. That is 20lbs less than the ultra light assault marine armor and 48.5 lbs less than deep pocketed assault marine armor. It still gives you 108 of bot resistances on top of the ballistic weave so you only sacrifice 32 of each protection.

[@witchBoi_Connor]

If you want the maximum amount of resistances out of a single piece of clothing, the mechanist's armor with ballistic weave mk.5 is the best I've come across, despite it's bulky appearance.

[@easypete975]

Is it higher than Ballistic weave military fatigues and green rag hat and marine armour?

[@Armant.]

@Giovanni Muciaccia Mechanist's armor has 72 DR and 72 ER + additional 110 DR and 110 ER from ballistic weave so yeah, it is "maximum res on a single piece of clothing". Problem is that mechanist armor is an outfit and covers all armor slots (beside of head) so any fatigues with the same ballistic weave mod + 5 pieces of any tier III and above armor (or even heavier variants of tier II like sturdy leather) will be much better in terms of resistances and on top of that you have 5 pieces with really usefull miscellaneous mods (like deep-pocketed or ultra-light) and, much more important, possible legendary effects on them. So over all mechanist's armor is a really bad idea...

[@anklemonitor]

I never really use power armour but I always make a fully decked out suit just because it looks really cool.

[@Starcruiser15]

i use a combination of T-60 tesla and X-01

[@Starfishcentral]

+voltz21 Yes me too as it gives a damage resistance of 110 plus you can also wear other armour (eg combat armour) on top of it. Sadly I don't have any dlc either and I am waiting for the game of the year version to be released, which should be fairly soon.

[@vladdybearson3953]

but it looks like shit

[@sarmatiancougar7556]

What about the Combat Armour of all types? In previous Fallout games combat armor used to be king.

[@blazethegryphon9990]

Bademus Cat Combat armour is basically paper compared to the raider gang armours. And even if you don't have nuka world, institute armour is a bit stronger.

[@briansouthparkstudio1357]

yeah but combat armor looks cooler and has less weight and is only beating a little in energy resistance......... and i never thought that the raider gang armor from nuka world made any sense why the hell is it so good it's just thin metal plates even less then metal armor yet it has the best stats in the game(when in all rights metal,insititute and combat armor should beat the shit out of it never mind marine and robot armor(which has alot more metal to give protection)). since when is thin metal plates made by savages meant to be better then per-war armor that was design to be the next best thing bar power armor itself by the US goverment

[@blazethegryphon9990]

Brian southparkstudio My theory, salvaged power armour, explaining the weight and defence.

[@suckdimck2633]

Brian southparkstudio

[@PennsyPappas]

I know im late to this thread but i think Combat armor is the best armor. Yeah everyone will bring up the DLC armor but that stuff is WAY to heavy for me to use. Heavy Combat armor with Deep pocket mod is a great way to go so in my opinion is key. At least when you look at it from a weight to DR ratio.

[@libertyprime9307]

[@bigb6096]

It would be cool if there was mod called "Survival power armor" and which it basically has an hunting/scavenger look but for power armor. you would also have an ghille suit type look with all the basic survival shit attached to you like water canisters,makeshift backpack,etc...

Gangsta Gandalf the storyteller power armor mod is probably the closest you'll get too something you just described.

[@z3r0_35]

What I'll say about the T-60 and X-01 (which I'm surprised wasn't touched upon in this video) is that in order to keep a full suit of either maintained, the Scrapper perk is practically mandatory, as scrapping weapons that you find (particularly energy weapons) will be the easiest way to get large amounts of rare materials needed to maintain those sets of armor. With Scrapper, what would normally be the deal breaker for using those armors becomes almost trivially easy to mitigate (basically, go farm any place where synths are the primary enemy for their weapons, which can be scrapped for plastic and circuitry - alternatively, anywhere with Gunners also works). Also, something to keep in mind for stealth builds: one of the factors affecting stealth is how much weight you're carrying (along with other factors like the Sneak perk, the US Army Covert Operations Manuals, the Agility stat etc.), so it may actually be a good idea to wear, at most, a ballistic-weaved clothing item under some light armor with the 'shadowed' mod to reduce the odds of detection when hiding in shadows. I usually find that a good choice for those builds are military fatigues and a set of LIGHT combat armor (including a helmet) with the shadowed mod, as the whole point of such builds is, rather than being able to tank hits, to avoid being shot at at all.

[@8BitPinkiePie]

23r0 Gaming well he is talking about Survival mode where you're weight limit is greatly reduced and bullets also have weight as well, so you have to be able to maintain your weight in as well as outside of your power armor when you do need to repair it

[@z3r0_35]

RoboGameBoy64 I know, but it still makes it a lot easier to salvage the materials by just farming weapons instead of trying to just hope you can find the right scrap in various places or just buying it. Of course, shuttling all of those weapons back to your base to scrap them can become quite tedious (especially with the lack of fast travel), but if you build up a decent stockpile, it makes it a lot easier to maintain a set of T-60 or X-01 than it would be otherwise.

[@PennsyPappas]

Ive always believed that even though T51 is not the "best" power armor in the game, the steel repair cost can be easily repaired in the field with all thkse pipe pistols and tin cans and what not you collect. No guarantee youll always have resourcer to repair better armor. Also in regards to regular armor weight. Deep pocket mod is the answer to making the armor lighter. Not too mention ballistic weave perk will be a big help for increased damage resistance.

[@Zekzt]

T-45 with almost unbreakable is totally awesome - repair cost is so low and when you get the almost unbreakable effect its so damn durable.

[@zzzorg]

The best paint for the X-01 is the Explosive Shielding, just try it, halved incoming explosive damage on your health bar AND on the durability of your armor!

[@ShneekeyTheLost]

Combat Armor with Deep Pockets has an effective negative weight with regards to carry capacity, although it doesn't count to VATS. So if you just want to carry more stuff, instead of worrying about VATS, Combat Armor with Deep Pockets modifier actually nets you extra carry capacity over and above the weight of the actual armor. Plus you can farm for the appropriate legendary effects as described in the video to maximize whatever you'd like.

[@royearle1673]

t-51 has a legendary wich increases your AP refresh speed when you are exposed to rads. good in glowing sea (you can get it by completing the quest at polymer labs, the quest is actually pretty fun!) also i kinda understand why x0-1 has more stuff for repair (x0-1 is pretty damm op)

[@NobodyDungeons]

Personally, with the kinetic servos chest piece modification and the army paint you can walk around with 14 strength at all times, and that is definitely a good thing.

[@Coolcleverstone]

If we're going by best non-power armor damage resistance per pound on a chest piece, I'd say it would be the Yao Guai Finger Necklace. According The the Fallout wiki, it provides 10 damage resistance and 7 energy resistance while being only 1 lb, meaning it has a hybrid damage resistance of 17/lb. It also comes with the added bonus of plus +2 strength, so it even pays for itself.

[@blazethegryphon9990]

Coolcleverstone 10 damage resistance, on survival, good luck with that.

[@Coolcleverstone]

Blaze The Gryphon I never said Survival

[@KomradeKD]

Coolcleverstone I've been running around in survival in nothing but the harness until I killed Kellogg, then I snagged that bc it is the same weight. In survival, armor is basically useless unless you are going for an uber tank build, usually only making the difference between a one hit kill and a two hit kill. If you actually treat survival as survival and play the game intelligently, you don't need that much armor and can save that weight for more important things.

[@oaksparoakspar3144]

Strength based build? Use regular armor - Fortifying or using Rads with Rad Powered and Unyielding can put your Strength into the 30's making the weight irrelevant and your damage exceptional. Great for unarmed and melee builds. Luck build? Got to be regular armor (I'm at Luck 20 - 22 if I ever find a Lucky Chestpiece). Great for handgun builds. Charisma and Intelligence Builds? Go with Power Armor - since that will let you neglect Strength and some Endurance while you build other abilities. Great for Commando builds. Sure, they limit your Stats, but there is little gain taking those stats far past 10. Perception builds (snipers)? Be open to either. Most of the time you won't want PA, because you spend too much time sneaking and sitting (a waste of cores) and you don't need the protection because you are seldom hit. Having it around, however, can be nice - particularly for tight dungeons with tough or ranged enemies. Of my 6 characters I've played at length (melee, 25% health melee, sniper, commando, pistol, and heavy gun/unarmed), only the Charisma Commando and Intelligence Heavy Gun builds use PA regularly.

[@DaManBearPig]

True, and it’s damn hard to sneak in PA. You can do it but it takes a lot of investment. Plus finding the sprinters effect makes regular armor stupid fun for any build.

[@v1nc3z0]

In my opinion, I favor the T-51 because of how it looks against X-01 or T-60. And it's a good reminder of your travels in New Californa (If you played Fallout 1 - 2)

[@rickmarinara5179]

Ah man, I love the look of t-51, just the lore of it being the best, and it being really friggin cheap to repair, made it my go to PA in all playthroughs, X-01 and T-60 is good until you realise you don't have the components to repair on the move and have to head home, t-45 is good until you get t-51, man, I just really like t-51

[@joetigris1238]

T-51 is my preferred armor in my current Survival Vanilla Playthrough. Easy to repair and upgrade makes it leagues ahead of T-60 and X-01

My favorite setup is a X-01 helmet, Tesla T-60 Arms and Torso, install Jet Pack, finish up with whatever power armor legs.

[@ShiningDarknes]

If you are truly worried about weight, putting deep pockets on all pieces will in some cases put you ahead on weight (especially if the armor also gives strength). Obviously stealth builds will still want ultra-light, but melee should consider deep pockets. Also pro tip for anyone who didn't know: you can craft the higher tier upgrades on the tier one versions of all armor and transfer them to the tier three versions. this makes it so you only need rank 2 armorer for almost every upgrade.

[@skyrimld1159]

I know it’s in Nuka World but Colter’s power armor offers decent protection and I’ve heard it’s really cheap to repair

[@ingamesniperr]

It also has a true unique legendary effect thats not on anything else in the game i dont think. And its built in face shield might provide better protection to the head piece. Although you cant put paints on it or a jetpack, not sure about ballistic weave.

[@jorgelopez-on4uj]

Thank you vinylicpuma because even though I have never played fallout 4 sense my brother has I have to play on survival mode thank you very. Much.

[@ShiningDarknes]

Ballistic weave is the greatest thing ever. the fact that the hats get power-armor levels of protection for much less cost is crazy. long-run weave is the way to go if you can afford the weight of armor.

[@turbochomp]

Ultra light isn't always they way to do. Some of those other effects are really good compared to the few pounds you save yourself. Two arm pieces with the stabilize mod make it so you need have to hold your breath while snipping again

Early on in survival. Dimond security armor is a good choice for ballistic. And can make you immune to fire damage. Incredibly useful against molotoves and flammers.

[@Soulintent95]

I just stick with t60, the legendary pieces from bos and the tesla pieces from automatron. However, I am thinking of going to x01 when i finally get the quantum armor. Not quite sure, I mostly use the power armor for a huge carry weight boost. T60 is already good enough damage resistance, its manageable enough if you loot enough. I did stick to t51 for a while though, and i love the paint jobs. The railroad one actually looks pretty nice too.

[@Deeplycloseted435]

Ballistic weave with newsboy hat gives +1 charisma, and I like the Minutemen outfit with weave. That plus spiked leather to keep things lighter, add deep pockets to get carry weight to 300. Lone wanderer takes you to 400. Jump in power armor and you’re over 500. Is there any ballistic weave outfit that adds charisma? I only find hats. I never spec into charisma because I can pass speech checks with chems and clothes. Change into Reggie’s getup, plus glasses and hat, its practically 100% pass rate.

Sometime using the deep pocketed mod can be better than the ultralight, as deep pockets add 10-20 carry weight, so essentially taking 10-20 from the weight of each piece

Once you have ballistic fiber upgrade you will choose the rest of your armor according to its legendary ability. I really would like to see detailed videos about the usefulness of legendary effects on survival with complex approach (like low and high level aspects) especially in case of the unique armor pieces what you can buy from vendors.

[@randyparsons3188]

i highly recommend padded mod for at least the chest piece of power armor and combat armor. it makes a big difference with anything that explodes on you like mines and missles and even nukes.

[@ashadieeyahsultana1062]

You don't need to side with the railroad to get ballistic weave. You just need to help them for a few quests, until you get to the point where you have to go to a DIA cache, a little bit later tinker tom will start selling them which means you can craft them yourself, after that you can side with the BOS or Institute and just slaughter the railroad

[@liptonicetea1813]

The reason why T-51 has the most paint jobs is life reasons. T-51 suits were readily available to the military before the war. T-60 was made right before the war, and X-01 was made by the remnants of the military after the Great War.

[@papalord258]

I dont really find the x01 repair costs excesive. Its the upgrade costs that will drain a shit ton of resources. At level 40 I barely had enough to upgrade a full t60 armor set, but in survival I dont pick up as much loot as in normal difficulties. I really recomend getting ada asap and upgrading her storage capacity if you dont want to do the pick up glitch with companions

[@MaSOneTwo]

I know this video is 4 years old but I still want to make one point: repair cost should not be a concern to you at all IF you are playing with settlements. If you are hurting for materials, simply set up scavenging stations for your settlers to work on and you will be provided with a metric ton of junk that will cover your needs more than adequately. A hand full of those will do the job. Edit: I did this in my current playthrough and have completely abandoned looting junk at all.

awesome video dude this has helped me a lot lol

[@BookofKeys123]

What about the Mechanist armor? Full Ballistic weave has like 180 damage resistance. One of the best imo

[@korhol2065]

I just tend to get t60 power armor because the Tesla legendary effect makes it look incredibly sexy

[@DanielTejnicky]

Sliver Shroud upgraded to the max as stealth sniper character and later fully upgraded ballistic weave military fat.

[@smeminem1258]

Here's a out of the box way to get t-60 armor (allied or else) just pay attention when you see a virtibird attacking something or going down cuz most of the time there will be dead bos soldiers with t-60 power armor

[@abraham7273]

You don't have to completly join thr railroad for ballistic weave, you just have to do a couple of quests and then bam, ballistic weave

Overboss and t51 were sincerelly a really good option in survival for their low cost to repair and legendary effects in special t51 nuka kola with +3 agility. In the case of t60 like a vats armor because have a lot armor legendary which increase action points and reduce cost of vats more mods to improve vats in power armor. X01 was my another vats armor in the case of quatum power armor but easier to get because legendary t60 pieces take some specific missions of bos with restrictions and all. My favorite power armor were t45 with minutmen paint , that shiny metal in that armor is epic, t51 with railroad paint which is the coolest armor that i saw and t60 with atom cats paint is my third favorite power armor. Raider power armor look cool but is weak i only wish that it had more legendary parts like tessa fist . X01 with hot rod paints are epics but limited in paints comparison with another armors because institute paint is exclusive of an ending :(

I only put on one of my 12 different power armor if the fight is going to be against a lot of different enemies. The +1 or +2 to strength or other perks is too good to cover up .

There are ways to exploit caps and any resource you want very quickly, it only took 30 minutes to get maybe 100k steel for myself. I also carry around hundreds of thousands of caps.

When your PA starts to take total damage, the individual pieces will be placed inside your inventory. Just pointing that out.

[@sympunny8636]

yes, but they're weightless when that happens.

[@Starfishcentral]

A good place to buy T-51 power armour pieces is from the Atom Cats in the far south east, if you are having problems acquiring them. I have tons of T-51 power armours and check out my first KZbin video to see my collection of 125 power armours. I have loads of T-51's so that they can be painted in the dlc colours (once I have all of the dlc).

What was that shotgun like energy weapon at the beginning of the video

[@SabreArchon]

Here 7 years later. I’m doing a survival minutemen super soldier playthrough and I’m making my own mix match set. XO-1 Left Arm, T-51 Right Arm and Chest, T-60 Helmet, and Legs.

[@SabreArchon]

The plan is to connect all settlements through Automated supply lines

[@Thingsandstuff1505]

I am sorry, but I really, really do not understand how repair costs can even factor into the decision. You can carry a crapton of loot and just by picking up a lightbulb and some TV trays here and there you can easily maintain the X01. Given the huge health the torso and other pieces have, you can take endless damage before needing to repair it (use energy shields for arms and explosive for legs if you do tend to run into mines and frags). Also by the time you have an X01 you might have a spare point for scrapper and as a power armour build also nuclear physicist. You will drown in parts and cores.

Once you find that dia cache, you craft it even if the railroad is destroyed
