Pacified Brotherhood Knight: Can I get him out of his Power Armour?

[GallopingGepard]

Quick question, as I wouldn't mind a new set of T-60 Power Armour for my collection.

pickpocket his fusion core and you can get him out of the armor.

Because I've just pacified a Brotherhood Knight and his power armour is right there and free?

Does it still have a stolen flag? Or is there no stolen flag because the unit is pacified?

Yes it's still marked as stolen, Just use setownership and it's yours, I have almost 200 sets of BOS T-60 by pickpocketing the core. Also unless you are enmies all you need to do is pickpocket the core and they step right out and are not hostile.The only issue is unless you either put the PA in a building with no doors or destroy the BOS they will appear out of nowhere and hop in the armor and walk away with it.

Do not get into it or out of it when you are around people without using setownership first, It will make settlers and the BOS hostile.

I lost a dozen suits in a week of gametime and I couldn't figure out why until I woke up at Spectacle Island and watched 4 BOS soldiers hop in the armor and walk off into the water with them. I knew it was the PA I "acquired" because it was painted in Atom Cats paint.

[ironhead1969]

They didn't have FC's in them either.

I stole it first!

It is kinda funny when ya think about it.

Okay, that's weird. I have been killing BoS soldiers with some frequency, and have had multiple sets just standing around up near Fort Hagen, near Vault 81, and near Andrew Street Station (I think that's what it's called) and they just remain until I finally get tired of the visual clutter and take some trips to collect them and put them in storage. Not once has anyone picked up one of the suits I leave standing around, and these are areas that respawn a lot - they are the places you can recruit settlers in the Rogue Robot radiant quests, and I have run many, many of them to build up my populations.

Edit: Also some sets left standing around after Railroad "Defend the Checkpoint" quests.

I'm trying to use the console as little as possible on this playthrough. Any way to clear the 'Stolen' markings? I'm hostile with BoS anyway, so attacking them or their allies doesn't matter too much to me (Boogeymen ftw :D )

The ones I had at sanctuary never walked away either , I wonder if it has to do with the proximity of Spectacle Island and the Airport?
