What's your favorite Power Armor?

[Salem Graves]

I rarely use Power Armor but when I do, it's the X-01. It's hard to tell what suits people are using due to all the skins so I'm wondering which Power Armor is all your favorites?

[Zero]

X-01, definitely. It's unfortunate that the T-60 is better for general use, considering the X-01 is supposed to be far more advanced with a lot of the flaws worked out. Obviously neither of them hold a candle to Hellcat, but I don't consider Hellcat to be canon. Even the T-60 stands on shaky grounds at best, considering it didn't exist until Fallout 4. It's literally a retcon armor.

k, mm looks? t52b spelling. u need fuzzy helmet to join his cult, fuzzy brenda will explain.
stats? too many variables havent tried the swamp one yet.extra damage +aura sound nice.

Onion Power Armor. Never leave base without it, or ever get out of it, that's why it smells like onions.

[Phantom]

Union gives the best defensive buffs both PvE and PvP, poison/acid resist functionally negates PvP poison/acid damage and heavily mitigates PvE by itself

Strangler is the best PvP offensive armour and can absolutely wreck people in PvP forcing them to have to build to counter it... but the added damage sucks for PvE as its so minimal for the PvE health pools... and in PvP at any skill level they are resistant to this (often, sometimes they try to meta and don't use it knowing that so many counters to it exist)

I made this board to compare armors, but it does not show all bonus

I've often asked myself what is the damned best, but it seems that experienced people have different views about what suits best (to their game style mostly)

Personnally, for the moment i have very few tier 3 armors and stick to the Excavator, as i like to carry a lot of things before TP to a vendor or my base, plus i mostly play with vampiric weapons with a mix of armor pieces that suits my gameplay (mostly Gluton/Aristocrat with lower weapons weight and increase weapon durability).

I tested sets like complete Ultracite, T45 / T51/ T60 and Puma and still prefer the excavator.

Edit: sorry i'm bad with alignin columns properly

I like the classic looks of the T-45 or T-51.
However I use Hellcat almost exclusively, such good stats and easy to repair.

[CyberLeader]

t60 is the most bang for your buck and you can get a dope BOS version from nearly any vetren player. I sell the BOS mark 4's with auto stimes and emergency protocols for 5k. And they usually sell with in minutes of me posting it on my vendor.

[Phlanka]

The iconic T51b, its been around since the 90s

[Autoro]

T-51b, though I'm considering a shift to T-65 Secret Service, when I roll up Vanguards on a set.

[Mooman]

The Ghoul proves that T-60 is garbage. 1 shot and it's done...

[pApA^LeGBa]

Ultracite and X01 with Nuka Quantum paint.

[-{A★T}- KnightofWind]

X-01 for sure, since from my understanding, it is a high end/experimental armor that is rare to find. The helmet has a very cool aquatic like design, and the suit itself really makes me feel like a true juggernaut with how bulky it looks.

I like the top tier PA's like the T-65 (best PA for Energy resistance without the electric absorption Legendary perk) and the Union PA with 150 PS and 75 extra carry weight.

Personally? I use the Union armor a lot and when i do silos? Then i equip the electric absorption Legendary perk card and i become unstoppable with my Bloodied build and my vamp Holy fire.
