Removing enemies from Power Armour?

[Kilø]

I just encountered a Raider in Power armour (after he surprised me with a Fat man, forcing me to reload) and promptly killed him, now he's lying face-up and I have no idea how to remove him from the suit. yes, I know you get a free suit, I already have it. but I want the frame he's wearing so I can start building another set. and maybe another after that, until I have a Legion of Power Armour. How do I remove the Raider from his Armour?

[primarccreagor]

I got the chest plate and helmet from him but nothing else(dogmeat noticed them and he missed me with the fat man). If you look your set started damaged and needed parts to fill in areas, so I dont think he has a full set just parts of the armour. And you can fill in your set with the raider parts. But hey you did get a fat man laucher as well so its all good there.

Theres power armor frames for sale that you can buy, for 5500 credits a piece I think. One in diamond city and another in good neighbour that I saw

ran into that same raider myself yesterday and there does not seem to be any way to actually remove the frame, only the parts. Seen a ton of suits around though, just need to look in odd places ;)

I've found 4 so far, I dont know if you can get the body out of it, you shoud be able to one would think but you know... games, not always making sense. I got 2 complete and 2 more that are missing some parts. I will probably not have armor on my character later on, just on the follower. And give it to who ever is in the settlements. Dont think the follower depletes the powercores. They run out real quick for me if I use VATS, its abit annoying... because shooting without vats is sometimes a problem. Due to how enemies move around in a weird way...

Pickpocket his powercore. Once the suit is dead, no, you can't loot the frame.

VATS is handy if you get in close range, i like the way it has changed. VATS was waaaay too much of a crutch before because it completely paused the game. For example shooting a feral ghoul up close can be somewhat problematic with the new way mobs actually dodge and weave to avoid being shot. An awesome addition to the game i might add.

But yes i agree there should be a way to remove them from their broke ass power armor after you rek them :D

I discovered maybe 15% of a map and already saw 4 power armor "suits" that were possible to get in to. So you can create your legion of the fusion core challenged,easily. Just explore areas.

[Death By Teabag]

its actually pretty nice to have a good supply of suits, so when you start modding them in different ways you can take which ever one suits the job

I'm sure some mod will fix it. I have not seen many if any enemies in full power armor I think. I'm level 18... I've been very busy helping people getting settled and upgrade their settlements. Take alot of work...

One thing I hate thats hard to counter without either you dying or the companion taking a ton of damage, (real bad when he/she is in power armor) is the mutants that suicide bomb you. That bomb do insane damage, and even if you are a few meters a way it will kill you.

i couldnt believe it when i saw one of those blinking red lights running towards me, didnt know wether to laugh or run....i laughed and went out in a gloriously radiated fashion!

Just walk backwards while shooting him with a splash weapon, the bomb will explode by itself ;)

there is a way to do it without taking out the cell (in case you are not sneaky enough). For that you will have to hit the fusion cell that is in the armor (VATS can let u specifically target this). this will cause a delayed explosion and forces the enemy to get out of the armor. I have been able to replicate this trick a couple times now. However, the enemy needs to have enough hp left to survive the explosion (I once hit twice in vats making him die while still in the armor). Note that these frames will be listed as stolen goods though.

I've had 2 or 3 sets of 'stolen power armor' sitting at my base, before. Wasn't sure WHAT made them get out of the armor, but I've had it happen a few times.

But the trick of causing the Power Core to detonate - LOVE IT!!

Who cares if it's "stolen"? You can still use it without penalty - just can't swap parts. Repair it, and I believe you can even put in parts that are missing.

Then let one of your Settlers 'borrow' it. ^_^

You can shoot their arm that has the explosive to blow them up early. Can be used to kill off a group of them if the one with the bomb is near the others.

Yes, I know, I have noticed my pistol 10mm with explosive aoe damage pretty much make them explode instantly. :)
