is there way to rename this power armor chassis?

[Natius]

i have around 5 power armor chassis (yea ik im crazy)
each power armor has different T-XX model (X01 idk where to get this, but i try to get it)
Note : i still dont have power armor station, still try to find excavator power armor chassis to craft another
any way to name it? or just guess?

[Klakson]

I don't think so. I had to guess all the time (or just place them to see what are they). The only thing that can (from my experience) give you some hint about your primary chassis (if that's what u want to see) is if you use paints (not sure if only counts for atom ones) you'll see atom indicator (+ text? don't remember exactly tho. haven't used PA for a long time).

Inspect the PA chassis with X and then hit V to rename it.

Put all of your PA frames in your stash box. Take one out. Deploy it so you can see what pieces are on it. Pick it up.

In your Pip Boy, inspect the frame, and then rename it. Inspecting it won't tell you what is on the frame. For that you have to have deployed it to see what is there. I name them PA - Excavator, PA - Ultracite, PA-X01, etc. When you look in inventory, you will see what you renamed it, not just generic Power Armor Frame.

Once it is renamed you can then keep it in inventory, and then pull out the next frame and do it again.


Regarding the weight of the frames. There are two sets of armor you receive for free. You get a raider set from Rosie and an Ultracite set when you finish the BoS quest line. Each of those are auto-dumped into your inventory. When you look in your inventory, they have a weight of 0 at first. They maintain that 0 weight until you deploy it and recall it the first time. At that point, it takes on it's actual weight.

Finish Belly of the Beast and a full set is your for free. You get the plans on Taggerdy's terminal in Fort Defiance after completing that quest. Mod plans for it drop from killing the SBQ.

If you have finished the main questline, go into white spring, where you can request the code and card escorts, go right to the vendors and crafting benches and right of the vendors (left end when coming in) you'll find a terminal where you can get X-01 free plans (you have to craft it yourself)

In all honesty, Portable Power is a useless perk.

You want to save weight with a perk put it in Traveling Pharmacy or Bandolier instead.

Speaking of, is Bear Arms any good? Can't decide whether I should use this one or Pharmacy instead for junkie-build as it seems even junkie doesn't have as many chems.

I disagree with this Peon, for early game yes portable power is useless
but for late game when u need power armor most, you need it to decrease weigh
Bear arms good at late game but not early
Bandolier is good

If you are a heavy gunner it is more or less essential. I carry around a Vampire's LMG, a Furious LMG, an AA Gatling, an Instigating Gatling and a Two Shot .50 cal. Each of those weapons goes down to approx. 2 weight units instead of 20. And a good Plasma Caster and Gaus Minigun are just on their way, i would hate to NOT have the choice of differnt weapons for different usages.

Why in the hell would you ever need Portable Power?

Portable Power
All power armor pieces and frames weigh 25% less.

That means you save 2.5 lbs on a frame.
You only need to carry one frame, two if you carry your excavator around instead of stashing it and only pulling it out when you need it. Even so that is still only 5 lbs at most.

The perk is also level 49, so there is no getting it "early game."

Power armor pieces only have weight when they are not on a frame. Frames always weigh 10lbs no matter how many pieces are on it.

Meanwhile 1 point in Batteries Not Included can save you 2lb PER Fusion core and save weight on other energy ammo.

So yeah Portable Power is completely and utterly a complete waste of perk points.
