Raiders in Power Armor

[Renovartio]

So you know how Raiders wear PA in game right? They usually have Raider PA parts or some other random PA part.

There are several places where you'll find them spawned in/ near a suit the first time you find a location.

I'm trying to find out which locations have it so they naturally respawn. I know of three.

1. Federal Rations Stockpile (Outside).
The suit will be in a trailer on the south side of location. If you attack the base. A raider will get inside of it. From then on, whenever you come back after raiders respawn. There will be a raider in power armor (Happened a few times for me, needs to be verified).

However if you take the armor before a raider can get inside, it'll never respawn. (As far as I can tell during my current playthough).

2.Lexington (on a overhead bridge. Usually with another raider that seems to always have a heavy weapon, if not a Fat Man).

3.The Wreck of USS Riptide. (usually on what appears to be a barge being dragged by the ship)

Can anyone else confirm and/or tell me other locations with Naturally Respawning Raiders in PA?

There's another encounter at the top of lexington apartments (go up the outside stairs). I don't know if that respawns though.

Hub City auto has a gunner in power armor and always has T-45 or T-51 pieces No raider armor., he is ontop of the overpass, also some times multiple power armor suits may spawn up there, all are "raider" owned and have the steal tag.

Just north of Tenpines (northern border of the map, radio tower compas icon) was the first one I saw. I was level 5, he had a fatman. fortunatly, so did I.

He was on a raised platform with gun turrets on one side, with regular raiders on the other watching his back.

"Harderd the farther south", hah. It's more like harder if you stray from the roads. Sticking to the roads well south of diamond city is way safer than straying off the beaten path even in the north eastern reaches of the map.

I've gotten one at that um... damn, the quarry, next to quincy, can't confirm if he respawns in armor every time, i hit the location twice, only got the armor guy the 2nd time, so, might be highly random.

Isn't that the zeta location? A settlement?

EDIT:

Outpost Zimonja is the name, I think.

You should know where Tenpines is by now. North edge of the map itself, north east of Tenpines.

Yup, it counts as a settlment I think. I never actually put it to use as such.

It is one of those... kind of pointless spots, to small to ever be of much worth and seems to get hit from every direction on attacks.

I don't know if that guy respawns though.

There is a little not settlment with more gun turrets and raiders (and a cooking station) down the canyon by the place, so the raider that respawn there will be within line of sight of the settlment, yeesh.

that's the outpost. Doesn't respawn because once you clear it. It becomes a settlement you can use.

edit:

I have 4 people there, all wearing combat armor.

I don't think I need to explain why more settlements are good right?
