IN Fallout game 4 the clothing situation is quite confusing. If we do not take into account, and talk only about everyday clothing, there are two options - full suits or armor made of components, consisting of separate elements for the limbs, torso and head. Some suits can be worn UNDER parts - for example, the suit from Vault 111.

Full suits usually have simply “no” protection - they are often worn by game characters whom you kill in the story. More reliable protection from different types damage (physical, energy and radiation) is provided by composite armor, but finding them is no less difficult than understanding what exactly they offer and in what combinations.

From countless raiders, shooters, super mutants, merchants and other public you can find various options armored, soundproofed, lead, reinforced, enameled and other types of armor, looking at which, some players lose the desire to understand all these subtleties. Let's help with this.

We are looking for legendary enemies

From merchants you can buy armor, or its elements, marked “Legendary” - indicated by an asterisk to the right of the name, which has one or another unusual property, such as increasing the rate of recovery of action points, reducing damage by half when falling from a height, or reducing damage by 15% from robots (in total there are more than 20 such properties for armor). This armor can also be obtained from randomly encountered legendary enemies in the game. Especially in insects.

However, you can try to reduce this randomness to a minimum and look for a meeting with such enemies purposefully. To do this, there are many locations available on the map, for example, National Guard Training Site, Jamaica Plain, Supermarket and many others that do not say “CLEARED”. That is, you have not yet killed all the living things there, or after your clearing, the location was again populated by enemies.

When approaching a location, save the game, enter it, find a legendary enemy, defeat him and see what weapon or armor he gives you. If you don’t like the property, you can load the save and try again, since armor drops and properties are randomly generated! Or not save, but then it should take a few game days, so that opponents appear in this location again, after which the above actions can be repeated again.

Note also that there is a mod that increases the frequency of appearance of legendary enemies (at least, this is intended - after installing it, with a 20-fold increase in the number of legendary enemies, I stopped seeing them at all). Additionally, there are console commands that can assign any legendary ability to any weapon or armor. But this cannot be used by players on PS4 and Xbox One consoles.

This way you can choose gear to suit your playstyle: some people like to receive larger number shots in VATS mode, while others prefer to be able to deal more damage to super mutants or get an increase in S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points.

However, in in this case We are talking about composite armor of six components, and we are interested in what is worn underneath them. At the start of the game this is the Treated Vault 111 Jumpsuit.

There are also interesting outfits that increase two by one point, such as the synth hunter uniform or the army uniform (+1 to strength and agility).

There are also variations of the basic clothing types, like the Dirty Army Uniform, etc., but the Hunter uniform is more interesting, since it already has resistance external influence. Army uniforms can be found at the Marksman mercenaries, at the National Guard Training Site, or in Jamaica Plain.

Ballistic polymer fabric

So, we have decided on the basic clothes that we are going to improve. Now we need to learn how to do this on the workbench to improve armor. For this it is necessary, which is inevitable in the course of the main storyline. There are a lot of people in the Underground, but we are interested in the PAM assault robot.

For PAM you need to complete several quests related to opening intelligence department caches. On the Internet, opinions on exactly how many quests need to be completed vary. I did three PAM quests to find caches, but even before them, the quest “Mercer Station” is given, in which you need to install two simple machine gun turrets in the “Zimonja Outpost” settlement. I also did two quests for Dr. Carrington (he also lives in the Subway headquarters) - “Boston at Night” and “Kill List”, and several quests for technician Tom to install MILA devices on the roofs.

Sooner or later, a character named Drummer should speak to you in the Underground and tell you that Tom wants to talk to you. Apparently, these quests can be completed in any order and their number itself can be a random number.

As a result, technician Tom has to talk about the intelligence department and its coolest technologies. After this, you can buy armored clothing from him, and we will gain the ability to create ballistic polymer fabric on suitable types of clothing. For example, the hunter form initially has a defense of 30-15-15.

However, after applying a class 5 bulletproof layer to it, the protection increases to 140-125-15.

While exploring the Wasteland, you will be able to discover a lot of different and unique items. Quite often these things turn out to be well-hidden armor and clothing with unique names and special bonuses. Some of them can be obtained as rewards for completing special quests, others are awarded for killing certain enemies, and others can be purchased from a regular merchant.

Below will be descriptions and ways to find original clothing and armor in Fallout 4. This list will be constantly updated with new things.

Black Vest & Wide Leg Pants

• Type: clothes.
• Bonuses: none.
• Location: This set of clothes can be found on the fourth floor of the Hubris Comics building.

In principle, there is nothing special about it (except for the original appearance) No. The Wasteland is not suitable for battles with mutants, but for ordinary walks through existing cities and your own settlements it is just right. Finding these things is quite easy.

Grognak Costume

• Type: clothes.
• Bonuses: Increases melee strength and damage.
• Location: This costume can be found on the fourth floor of Hubris Comics.

It protects mediocrely, but increases the damage done in close combat. An excellent suit for those who prefer to use edged weapons rather than firearms. It is a copy of the clothing of the famous comic book character “Grognak the Barbarian”. We talked about Grognak's ax in the article The best weapon in Fallout 4.

Silver Cloak & Hat

• Type: clothes.
• Bonuses: none.
• Location: This stylish coat and hat can be found on the fourth floor of Hubris Comics.

This outfit is very similar to the cloak and hat that the Mysterious Stranger usually wears. We remind you that this mysterious character has been accompanying the main characters of Fallout for several decades. It is still unknown who exactly he is and what goals he pursues. As for things, they are of little use, but they look just perfect on a male character.

Bear Mask

• Type: headdress.
• Bonuses: none.
• Location: If you want to get your hands on this unique headpiece, then you should head to Central Boston Polytechnic High School, located east of Diamond City. Once inside the school, go up the stairs and then turn left. Walk forward through several classrooms until you see a huge hole in the floor leading to the school basement. Then find Bosco and kill him. It is he who will have the Bear Mask.

This item is papier-mâché, created by one of the schoolchildren in the distant past. One of its parts has fallen off, and therefore the mask looks extremely scary. It does not give any bonuses, therefore it serves only as a decorative item.

Maxson's Battlecoat

• Type: clothes
• Bonuses: increases the Perception parameter by one

Elder Maxson's Battle Suit is a unique piece of armor in Fallout 4. It is a long brown jacket worn by Maxson, the leader of the Brotherhood of Steel, at all times. It looks very stylish and protects the player well.

Many, not knowing the characteristics of the jacket, may consider this coat to be ordinary clothing that just looks nice on the player character. However, in fact, the Battle Suit is able to protect a person from Vault 111 quite well (absorbs 50 damage) and provide him with a good bonus: Perception increases by one.

Unfortunately, Maxson will not part with this item peacefully. Besides, you won't be able to steal his jacket. We tried to do this by playing as a character with level 4 of the Pickpocket perk (allows you to steal things they use from characters), but the game didn’t even show a stealing badge on the elder. Therefore, the only way to get this jacket is to take it from Maxson's lifeless body.

Naturally, if you decide to kill an elder, then all members of the Brotherhood of Steel will instantly consider you enemy number one. So if you are planning to become a member of the Brotherhood, you can forget about this jacket. Otherwise, at some point you will receive a quest to kill him from a faction that is at war with the Brotherhood. However, you don’t have to wait for this moment and go to Prydwen to kill Maxson without any orders. He usually walks along the bridge of the ship.

Any game has secrets and unique things that are difficult to reach and even more difficult to obtain. Fallout 4 is no exception and offers its fans to get legendary armor.

Legendary armor in Fallout 4

The vastness of Fallout 4 is unpredictable in terms of its secrets and various possibilities. For example, did you know that you can get rare equipment in this virtual space? No, we are not talking about the epic properties of the equipment, but about one unique and interesting piece. Legendary armor in Fallout 4 exists only in singular. And it has a truly unique property - it absorbs the damage that you receive when jumping from a great height. Yes, that's exactly what is legendary power armor in Fallout 4 will allow you to jump over uneven surfaces and jump from slopes, without thinking about heights and thereby surprising your enemies. But first, you should find the legendary power armor in Fallout 4.

Epic Gear Locations

The legendary properties of armor in Fallout 4 are not limited to just one item. There are quite a lot of them and sometimes they only affect the basic characteristics of your character and his skills. It’s worth noting right away that there is a list of IDs of legendary armor properties in Fallout 4, but there is no ID of the legendary armor in Fallout 4 that we are looking for. Therefore, to find the legendary pieces of power armor in Fallout 4, you need to go to a place called MassFusion and find the main scientific laboratory there.

It is tall and has a lot of space inside, although there are no stairs to these floors. Therefore, it is worth preparing power armor with a jetpack and high level hacking skill, as a tightly locked chest awaits you at the top. But it will take a long time before you get there. At first you need to jump from ledge to ledge, trying to climb as high as possible, and once they end, you need to prepare for the rush, since you will need to climb along a smooth corner. Take off, crash into the corner and don't forget to press forward all the time. This way you can linger and use a jetpack to reach the highest room, where that same armor is located.

The only copy of happiness

Unfortunately, this piece of legendary equipment is presented in one form in the game. You will not be able to find any more such blatant legendary things. There will be more rare species armor, but they will only affect your skills. Otherwise, they will not arouse interest, so don’t be upset and be happy with what you have. Perhaps with the arrival of new additions, even new types of this equipment will appear in the game.

Power armor in Fallout 4

Power armor- This in essence, an exoskeleton on which strong armor was stuck, forming a kind of knightly armor, only in a modern version, this is exactly the kind of armor that can be found or bought in the vastness of Fallout 4. Power armor uses nuclear blocks to operate all its elements, including the exoskeleton.

For convenience, we suggest you use summary :

The exoskeleton is central part power armor, various elements can be attached to it, assembling a single armor from disparate parts.

Description of Power Armor in Fallout 4

As mentioned above, the central part of the Power Armor in Fallout 4 is the exoskeleton; individual armor elements are already attached to it, turning the exoskeleton into a modern knight's armor; a soldier dressed in such a skeleton looks like a walking tank from the outside.

The power of Power Armor comes from the nuclear unit; when the energy in it begins to run out, many of the armor’s functions, such as acceleration, are turned off.

This armor consists of 6 components such as: 2 legs, 2 arms, helmet and body. Armor elements can be installed from different modifications, thereby sometimes getting a very fancy armor. Power armor can also be painted in different colors. What kind of armor your character will wear when walking around the territory of the Commonwealth depends only on your imagination.

When main character climbs into Power Armor, it is immediately noticeable that the display of the game world changes slightly, as if we are looking through a helmet placed on our head. The screen displays indicators related to power armor, the most important is an indicator showing how much energy is still in the nuclear unit and a set of power armor is also schematically indicated, each element indicates the condition of this part of the armor, they are not eternal and when damage is received the indicator will begin to color green to red, thereby showing general state power armor. If armor elements are not repaired or replaced for a long time, they will completely wear out and disappear.

Power armor in Fallout 4 protects the main character from falls if you step in a radioactive puddle or lake, power armor will take over this, and also in such armor, the time spent under water significantly increases.

Types and parameters of Power armor

1. Raider Power Armor - this armor is the simplest of those that can be found in the world of Falluot 4, the basic characteristics of the elements of this armor are as follows:
   
2. T-45 power armor - the initial armor is of normal assembly, we do not take into account the armor of the raiders, since there the armor is made on the knee, from scrap materials. The T-45 power armor is slightly lighter than that of the raiders and with the same resistance to damage and radiation, the T-45 has more resistance to energy damage, more durability, a higher price and the armor itself is lighter. The basic characteristics of the T-45 armor elements are as follows:
3. T-51 power armor— you can already fight in such armor, the basic characteristics of the T-51 armor elements are as follows:

Where can I find Power Armor?

Just starting the game, the main character almost immediately receives Power Armor by completing a quest for the Minutemen. But besides this method of Power Armor, in Fallout 4 you can often just find it, you walk through a destroyed world and bam behind a bush, there is Power Armor.

But don’t think that you can immediately find the coolest set of armor; unfortunately, the level of power armor that can be found on the territory of the Commonwealth directly depends on the level of the main character. To understand what you can expect, we offer you a list of armor depending on the character level:

Its uniqueness lies in its ability to restore action points when exposed to radiation. If you are interested in such an element of armor, then go to a laboratory called Cambridge Polymer.

Power armor consists of a set of armored components and a frame. Each piece of armor increases your defense rating. You can use the frame even without elements. Thanks to it, you will also be protected from falls and damage, increase damage in close battles, and be able to carry more things.

Over time, armor elements become damaged. The status of the items can be seen on the left side of the screen. If they glow red, they are severely damaged and need to be replaced. If the indicator has empty sections, it means the element is destroyed or missing altogether.

To remove or attach a new piece of armor, you must select it in the “Items” - “Clothing” tab or in the workshop. Elements are being repaired in the power armor workshop. You must select the damaged component and press Space.

Thanks to modifications, power armor can change color, increase protection, reduce energy costs, add temporary effects and bonuses to parameters.

Most upgrade modules require glue, springs, aluminum, copper, etc.

Different mods can be applied to different armor pieces to activate powerful bonuses. Generally, mod effects are based on the functional components of the armor. For example, hand mods increase damage in melee combat, and leg mods increase damage when jumping on enemies from above and movement speed. The jetpack serves to increase mobility, the helmet is equipped with a flashlight, and thanks to the Tesla coil in the torso, opponents near the hero receive energy damage.

To gain access to cool armor modification options, you need to develop the Blacksmith, Science and Gunsmith skills.
