How to get NPCs out of Powersuit frames?

[N0VA]

So I have like 5 suits right, red rocket is my station and im doing mostly missions and ♥♥♥♥ so my armor is just laying around the station, cause i dont have time or resources to make a safe house or anything in red rocket, all i got is a tiny little house for some aesetic and a place to sleep with my romanced companion

So I don't have anyone stationed here but Nick, and Hancock when he's not traveling with me. I come back to get my suit, my good one mind you, and its missing, and nick's in one of the other power suits. He was left unattended and the first thing he does is ♥♥♥♥ the robot armor.

Anyway turns out I find my good suit on the ground with a gunner in it. I guess nick got jumped while I was away. I didn't even know the gunners could jump into my power armor. Okay nbd, the dude is dead. Okay, problem.

I can recover my armor peices which is good, but... the frame...
I can't get the guy out of the frame.
Thus knocking my suit count down to 4.

Is there anyway to get a npc out of my power armor frame so I can make it a suit again? It's kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this can happen. What if this happens 4 more times? I'm out of power armour.

When u get out of the power armor take the core out right away.

You can buy new frames in game, not sure if it's reliant on the DLC, but they aren't that expensive really.

where do I buy them? I usually check vendors and I've yet to see anyone selling frames. If it's DLC reliant I assume that's something in the Autotron DLC since that deals with robots and the like.

south boston check point has a suit of armor go get it and there is 3 power armor frames in and around Natick 2 of them will have raider armor in them and one is leveled power armor its to the south of natick. Diamond City weapons sells one they cost 2500 caps and Kelo sells one in Goodneighbor.

ah thank you, I guess I didn't look carefully enough when going through the vendors cause I didn't see the frames before. Also thanks for the location tips. :)

Stealing frames they always register as stolen, so not ideal to do (though you can 'fix' that with console.
Shoot the fusion core out or pickpocket it from stealth and they will exit the suits (if they don't die before they exit the suit when you shoot the core).

If you steal it they also don't respawn in power armour also though (as far as my testing has shown that's accurate), so if you want to be able to farm pieces from spawns you don't want to steal for that reason also.

You can buy a power armor frame from Acturo in Diamond City liek eveyr other day or so for 2400 caps. Same with Brotherhood, and Atom Cats.

You can not leave empty suits and power cores in the same settlement without running the risk of a settler, companion, or NPC stealing them. I do not care how much brahminshit you hear from people with the "well didnt happen to me because of..." that is pure coincidence. If it is in any container or even workshop inside the settlement then someone can grab the armor if ther eis cores around.

The one thing settlers and NPCs will not do is steal an empty frame. So if you store all the armor off your frames they will not be stolen.

To get NPCs out of a suit (and keep frame intact) you need to pickpocket the core.

Settlers will exit the suits once combat is over, as will some NPCs.

Companion need to be ordered out of the suits, because they will remain in a suit even with an empty core.

Yeah I'm taking my cores out cause I don't have any issues with things being stolen, like i found the idiot who took my good suit and just took all the armour back, and again the only npc I have at red rocket is nick and hey if he wants to ♥♥♥♥ around in a power suit while im gone who am i to stop him lol

I don't worry about things getting stolen and going missing though cause anything that has tried to attacked so far has been killed by nick and my sentries, so if something is not on a corpse nick must have it lol.

Select the dead idiot in the console and type resurrect. This will bring them back to life so you can either shoot the core to make them exit, or if there is no core, they should get out.

And yeah, it takes like 3 seconds to load a fusion core: remove them, even if you do move them a lot.

what kind of solutions are those?
just sneak behind the npc and steal the fusion core,the npc gets out of power suit,problem solved.

The problem is the AI is stupid. For example, if one of you settlers decides to take the power armor and you have 100 cores in your workshop that settler will grab all 100 cores. The same applies to any kids of ammo and such. The only way to prevent that would be to spread crap out everywhere in smaller stacks. Unfortunately that also increases the risk of any humanoid attackers or Bunker Hill npcs to steal ♥♥♥♥ as well.
