Is the winterized T-51 power armor suppose to break EXTREMLY fast?

[Honor Guard]

is it?

[Zesty]

Short Answer: no

[based]

Well, no. They're pretty durable, but the biggest problem with wearing it is that it is very expensive to repair and you cannot use power armor to repair it. Honestly, the best use for the T-51 both winterized and non-winterized is to give it to a companion so that way it never degrades. Look into the Operation Anchorage Gary Glitch and the Dogmeat Companion glitch. Those are really helpful.

Isnt it one of the most durable armors in the game?

[RepliedElf]

If I remember correcly the repair vaules are supposed to be really high because you can't repair the Anchorage unique armours.You can always open up the geck and poke around there.

then something wrong considering i can repair it with all brotherhood steel type armor ,and it breaks about as fast

I have only 1 mod that affects gameplay which is the unoffical patch

any idea how i can add another that is like it then just remove my current one?

[Melfice]

Is it possible the Unofficial Patch fixed it to where it breaks as fast as the regular power armour, and that you can repair it with regular power armour as well?

[RepliedElf]

Its the unoffical patch I know that.They wanted to balance it I beleve because without Wanderer's edition the power armour is overpowered . So yeah.If you want it to be better you can use the GECK or just use lighter armours.

ok i did alittle reading on the wiki

It says

There are 2 versions ,Version Sim and wasteland

Sim or Simulation one has a high HP count and player is not suppose to get ,also it unrepairable by player


Wasteland version is unlike the sim ,where it can be repaired it has around 100 hp



My bet is Unoffical Patch is to blame right now,which makes no sense on why make it basicly a small upgrade after alot of hastial to get it

This is the answer, basically.

The Winterized Power Armor you get from Operation Anchorage is "bugged" in the real version of the game and you get the "Sim" version of it that has 999,999 hitpoints instead of the normal 100 hitpoints power armor is supposed to have.

If you install one of the unofficial patches, it corrects this back to the "intended" state.

However, Bethesda left that bug on purpose because everyone said they wanted it that way. The "broken" 999,999 hitpoint "sim" version of the armor is now, in fact, the intended reward for that quest.

^ yeah

Also if you have repair problems and happen to have Point Lookout, you can use an exploit to patronize the merchant in there until his repair skill is perfect, allowing you to repair pretty much anything to perfect condition if you have the caps.
