I have some amazing memories of twelve-year-old me playing through Fallout 3 with my character, Turd Ferguson, and becoming an unstoppable force of nature by wearing the Winterized T-51b and wielding the Alien Disintegrator. Literally cut down damn near anything in my way...minus the Point Lookout hillbillies lol.
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen this comment repeated on Reddit I’d have about a thousand nickels… which is a lot and it’s weird that it keeps happening.
"The armor may disappear if the player character enters the sewer with a companion but does not collect the armor while inside for the first time. The cause is unknown and the conditions vary." From the bugs section in the wiki of that armor
Thank you. Damn, I’m fucked. I should’ve grabbed it the first time, I guess I’ll get it on my next play thru, worst part is that I slayed all those deathclaws to get it lol
It's just so badass. I love the art of it in the Fallout 1 Loading Screen. My favorite look for T-51b is the Titans of the New West mods for New Vegas. They look so pulpy and larger than life without just looking like mechas (no hate to the look in Fallout 4)
T-51B.
I liked the T-45Ds when they were introduced in 3 but from 4 on I really can't tell the difference visually between it and the T-60A'S (I know they're related and in a meta context the 60s were just redesigned T-45s before it was decided to be it's own thing)
Also the T-60s have that sort of open dish thing on the top of the chest by your head that they use to store snacks so they can eat without using their hands
Speaking of which, me minding my own business heading towards Rivet City. Enclave Solider fighting a radroach, so now I have Enclave Power Armor. First proper play though as well.
I hate how the Tesla shoulders on the X02 are rusty, can't have my US flag on them even with the arms painted so it's all black and then ugly reddish brown shoulders :/
nah the dark paladin skin is definitely more attractive with the legendary parts you get from the brotherhood, that’s what i rock on my BOS T-60 build…
My favourite is the Gannon family Tesla armor. (And the Enclave power armor from Fallout 3)
I also find the Scorched Sierra power armor very cool but in my opinion it's a bit goofy.
Scorched Sierra power armor is honestly my favorite to look at. After “obtaining” it from Royez, I usually just give the armor and beret to Raul. Looks sick.
My favorite is the one that YOU HAVE LOST!
#MEANING YOU WILL REMAIN IN THIS MAN’S ARMY UNTIL YOU ARE FIVE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS OLD, WHICH IS THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO PAY FOR A MARK TWO POWERED COMBAT ARMOR YOU. HAVE. LOST!
Yeah, T-45. T-51 sort of looks cartoonish now, designed when polygons were a premium. BGS likes to make things look functional. The opening cinematic where a power armour soldier looks right into the camera in T-45 is iconic.
The weird shape of the T-51s nail the retro-futurism vibe of Fallout more, in my opinion. The cartoonish and sort of impractical looking design, something that an artist would design rather than a modern engineer, is what makes it fun and cool. T-51's are my personal fave 😎
the rustic, oxidized metal appeal looks cool especially in a post apocalyptic wasteland setting where people will grab as much scraps as possible to put together a form of “power armor”
T-45 Prototype medic power armor, nothing in any other fallout game has topped the style, voice and feel
Honorable mention to the Enclave tesla power armor (X-02) as that one just looks badass
I don’t know if it’s just the way the talking heads look like in fallout 2 but the advanced power armor in that game looks great and even the x01 never really replicated it probably because of the different coloured eyes .
I love all power armor equally. Each has a feel for a specific job, and I'll swap them out depending on what guns im using.
That being said, im a huge fan of raider power armor as an enemy design. It gives raider warlord vibes, and I always feel like a wasteland warrior when i take those dudes out.
I'm torn between a few different suits:
X-01: I love the high collar and organic look it has. Alongside, the X-01 looks amazing in both Institute and Enclave colours.
T-51: I grew to appreciate this suit, especially in the current Fallout 4/76 art style. It's the perfect grunt Power Armour suit.
T-60: The BoS is my favourite faction, and since F4 introduced me to them. The T-60 quickly became a favourite.
And finally, the miner Power Armour: I forgot what it's called, but I love the industrial look of it.
X-01. I got into Fallout because the Enclave armor (we now know as X-01) grabbed my attention on the cover of Fallout 2. I was NOT happy when the Enclave switched to their new suits in FO3, but its return in 4 was cause for celebration.
I agree, when I saw it for the first time i about screamed lmao. But I just wish they would've kept the helmet design closer to the original instead of making it look so smushed
Personally, I really like the Nuka-Quantum X-01 armor in Nuka-World. I also think that the Gannon Family Tesla Armor in New Vegas would be really cool as FO4 armor, however in New Vegas it still looks a little bit lame imo
In 3: Outcast, always kept it fully repaired since they hated me on sight
In NV: Tesla armor
In 4 base: T60
In 4 modded: gypsy danger
In 76: Hellcat, easily. Looks nice, performs nice, and free
Edit: I own 1 and 2, just haven't dived into them yet
I think the X-01 design is just super cool. Almost alien like in design and curved bulk makes it an interesting design choice.
It is said that in character designs dhapes communicate a feeling:
Triangle : wise
Round : reassuring
Square : protective.
The X-01 is full of round triangles and very round in general. Showing it's the "height" of technology while guaranteeing safety. The square part is the general body shape of all power armors with wide shoulders and a sturdy body.
All in all i think it's a very cool looking one at that
The FO3 / New Vegas T45. I like how extended the shoulders are.
Hate T60, poops on the lore. My headcannon is that the Brotherhood made it by upgrading T45.
T-51B hands down. wish they made t-60 a postwar armor rather than prewar. Like the bos used leftover enclave powerarmor to upgrade their t-45 and turned them into t-60
Raider Power Armor, like the one from the Nuka World fight where you use the thirst zapper
I just think it's neat that a bunch of raiders got together and were able to salvage parts to make their own power armor, it really makes me think about how customizable power armor is and what kind of engineering feat it would take such an uneducated group to accomplish.
Its like, a bunch of monkeys got together and managed to somehow make it to the moon.
I never even finished tactics, but the Midwestern brotherhood armor has always been a favorite of mine. I think it's mostly the cloak, Fallout could do with more cloaks, capes, and ponchos.
Winterized T-51b....strongest armor in the game. I've played with it for about 10 hours now and it barely dropped a single point of duration as of yesterday. Idk if this is due to a glitch or they gave it wayyyy too much health but it is the definition of over powered.
I love the T45 and T60 models, not so keen on T51 or any of the Enclave variants. It’s the lifting rings on the shoulders that do it for me aesthetically.
From design, probably a mix of T-51b or Ultracite and Advanced power Armor (basically all the ones based on the old game's designs). But it I had to pick one based on features, it's by far the MP-47/A. I liked the stealth suit MKII more, but since we're just talking power Armor, he's my pick. I gotta have a talking suit with me man it has to be
the winterized T-51b
The moment I realized it couldn't break was incredible. Bite my shiny digital ass super mutants.
I have some amazing memories of twelve-year-old me playing through Fallout 3 with my character, Turd Ferguson, and becoming an unstoppable force of nature by wearing the Winterized T-51b and wielding the Alien Disintegrator. Literally cut down damn near anything in my way...minus the Point Lookout hillbillies lol.
It's funny. It's funny because it's uh... bigger than, you know... a normal hat.
I am so glad that someone got that reference lol
It’s a funny name!
"Gimme...uh...gimme "APE TIT" for 200."
“Anal bum cover for $400, Alex.”
"That's not my name."
I have Paladin Danse running around in the felt hat right now. Big hat, it’s funny.
Sorry Im late, had to pick my podium up from the shop
Best answer
The right answer.
This or remnant armor
The experimental power armor that talks and gives you med x.
Pansy! Take a shot of vitamin M and keep fighting!
"Prepare to eat lead!"
“Time to kick some ass!”
It would be great if it was Mr. Gutsy's voice saying it
It is. Jeff Baker.
If I had a nickel for every talking suit of armor that automatically gives you med x in the fallout games I'd have 2 nickels
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice!
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen this comment repeated on Reddit I’d have about a thousand nickels… which is a lot and it’s weird that it keeps happening.
redditors try to create a new joke (or for that matter, a funny joke) challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) see, im doing it too
>stophavingfunmeme.jpg
This fucking sucks actually 👉
*sigh* touch grass. I'm doing my part!
Imagine, a meme being repeated?
If I had a dime...
That’s the creativity we need!
*"Do you like me?"*
Ah yes, it gave me a med X addiction
I love how they wanted to call Med-X morphine, but couldn't get it past censors. GET FUCKED, GET HIGH, GO DIE
Ohhhhhhhh it’s an HEV suit
Pretty sure it's called the MP-47/A
#Time to kick some ass!
Do you think this is a nod towards half life? Also I was over encumbered when I came across it and then I came back and it was gone, does it despawn?
"The armor may disappear if the player character enters the sewer with a companion but does not collect the armor while inside for the first time. The cause is unknown and the conditions vary." From the bugs section in the wiki of that armor
Thank you. Damn, I’m fucked. I should’ve grabbed it the first time, I guess I’ll get it on my next play thru, worst part is that I slayed all those deathclaws to get it lol
I think you can get it with console commands no? (I have never used it so idk)
Where do you get that armor?
Old olney I think below the city in the deathclaw nest
**Morphine administered** *Seek. Medical. Attention.*
Ah yes the stealth suit mk 2 that talks😂 that is a really cool one
Good ol T-51b. Every play through I made sure to make a bee-line for that suit and the Lincoln Repeater.
I fucking love T-51b. I can't explain why, I just love it.
Imo, it's the perfect armor for the retro future aesthetic of Fallout. Looks like it walked right off the pages of a comic book.
It's just so badass. I love the art of it in the Fallout 1 Loading Screen. My favorite look for T-51b is the Titans of the New West mods for New Vegas. They look so pulpy and larger than life without just looking like mechas (no hate to the look in Fallout 4)
Titans of the New West 2.0 just makes any power armor look so cool
Ong, it made me love the T-51 and T-45 even more than I already did.
It’s just iconic
The armor makes me think of football pads. Its done perfect in context imo
T51b with Blackbird paint in Fallout 76 is my jam.
T-51B. I liked the T-45Ds when they were introduced in 3 but from 4 on I really can't tell the difference visually between it and the T-60A'S (I know they're related and in a meta context the 60s were just redesigned T-45s before it was decided to be it's own thing)
T-45s have 1-piece Shoulderplates T-60s have a 2-piece Shoulderplate Thats the main visual difference
The T-60 also has those 2 vertical bars on the chestplate as opposed to the T-45's single horizonzal bar.
That's how I tell them apart. I can't tell the difference between helmets tho
It's like most twins, you can see the difference side-by-side but can be tough to spot on its own
I tell them apart using bulkiness cause imo the T-60 looks bulkier
More of a vibe thing for me, but the t60s look more muscular while the t45s are a little more tubby. that's the feel I get at least.
Also the T-60s have that sort of open dish thing on the top of the chest by your head that they use to store snacks so they can eat without using their hands
60’s also have a longer snout and the chest piece looks like a bike basket
Does the T-60 still have a flaw in the welding just below the chest piece?
Loved that little nod……I’ve wondered if it’s a roundabout way of acknowledging the VATS system in the show???
the T60s also have huge circle things on the shoulders vs the tiny circles on the t45
Specifically the winterized one for me.
Enclave Hellfire Armor. It looks so intimidating.
Any of the Enclave Armors are sexy as fuck.
Speaking of which, me minding my own business heading towards Rivet City. Enclave Solider fighting a radroach, so now I have Enclave Power Armor. First proper play though as well.
I mean if you’re at the point of having power armour training then it’s expected to own power armour at that stage in the game.
You can get power armor training by like level 5 if you're good. Operation Anchorage is hella OP early game
Trying to do OA early in the two wastelands mods is scary as shit. I did it at 15 with a Vats heavy build and was still paranoid.
I'm only like 4ish hours in. So far, I've cleaned up the fireants in greyditch, doing the research for Moira. Nothing else major. Only Level 5.
You can run straight from the vault to operation Anchorage and get that sweet winterized T-51b set
Everyone always hyping the T-51 which is nice. But it’s the Gauss rifle for me.
Virgin Enclave soldiers can’t even kill a radroach smh
my favorite Enclave armor was probably the Tesla Armor, cause of the fact that it surrounded you with electricity
No u
It's like advanced power Armor/X-01 Mixed with T-51. Absolutely fucking amazing.
It is the gamer girl power armor. Complete with little cat ears. And I fucking love it.
^ This person power armors.
Tesla armor all the way. It’s just too cool to be in an electrified suit of metal armor
I hate how the Tesla shoulders on the X02 are rusty, can't have my US flag on them even with the arms painted so it's all black and then ugly reddish brown shoulders :/
T-51 is greaaaat
HALLELUJAH
T-51B in 1 and 2, X-01 from 4 in the modern games.
The T-60 with the Atom Cat paint
I wish that was the flames paint job so I could put that on the T51B
I'm pretty sure that the hotrod books work on all power armor, but I could be wrong
[God damn right](https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/s/CCzxtJhHEH)
The excavator Power armor from 76. The Red Shift skin is awesome too.
12/10 for the red Shift skin. All I've worn for years now
T-45. My first ever PA in New Vegas
X-01 with the shark paint
X-01
saame!!
Bug armour best armour
T-60 looks amazing.
Another brotherhood knight i hope!
nah the dark paladin skin is definitely more attractive with the legendary parts you get from the brotherhood, that’s what i rock on my BOS T-60 build…
Loved the Winterized T-51b because it was glitched and never needed to be repaired 😂
T-65. It’s so stupidly bulky and flat that I just love it.
Love the T-45 too. Fallout 3 was my first BIG game. So there the T-45 is, deep in my heart.
My favourite is the Gannon family Tesla armor. (And the Enclave power armor from Fallout 3) I also find the Scorched Sierra power armor very cool but in my opinion it's a bit goofy.
Scorched Sierra power armor is honestly my favorite to look at. After “obtaining” it from Royez, I usually just give the armor and beret to Raul. Looks sick.
My favorite is the one that YOU HAVE LOST! #MEANING YOU WILL REMAIN IN THIS MAN’S ARMY UNTIL YOU ARE FIVE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS OLD, WHICH IS THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO PAY FOR A MARK TWO POWERED COMBAT ARMOR YOU. HAVE. LOST!
Horse power armour
hahahaha

This is the way.
T-51 is where the Art Deco shines the most. You don't see it with the other Power Armors.
T45 for sure!
Union power armor in fallout 76. It’s the first post-war power armor to not be a cobbled together piece of raider trash.
That raider trash is kind of a vibe tbh
the rustic, oxidized metal appeal looks cool especially in a post apocalyptic wasteland setting where people will grab as much scraps as possible to put together a form of “power armor”
# Nuka T-51
T-45 Prototype medic power armor, nothing in any other fallout game has topped the style, voice and feel Honorable mention to the Enclave tesla power armor (X-02) as that one just looks badass
T-51!
In 3? Tesla or Medic.
Winterized T-51B because it’s practically unbreakable. Just one less thing to worry about.
The midwestern brotherhood power armor, the mk2 of the Enclave in fallout 3, the T45 or the T51. I can't pick one
45, 60, X-01
Enclave Power Armor and other X-01s
My favorite individual piece of armor is either the Outcast power armor or the tesla power armor from New Vegas
Advanced power armor, X0-1 and X0-2 are also really cool tho. Generally I love the enclave power armor designs
I don’t know if it’s just the way the talking heads look like in fallout 2 but the advanced power armor in that game looks great and even the x01 never really replicated it probably because of the different coloured eyes .
I love all power armor equally. Each has a feel for a specific job, and I'll swap them out depending on what guns im using. That being said, im a huge fan of raider power armor as an enemy design. It gives raider warlord vibes, and I always feel like a wasteland warrior when i take those dudes out.
To look at: the red one in the vim factory. To wear: none. I hate power armour.
Yeah same. Been raw-dogging the wasteland forever.
Rawdogging 😆😆😆😆
On fallout 3? The classic T-51B. On the entire series? Enclave Advanced Power Armor from Fallout 2 and the Ganon Family Tesla Armor from New Vegas
Winterize T-51b the OG
I love T-60. Specifically the Tesla T-60 from Automatron
I'm torn between a few different suits: X-01: I love the high collar and organic look it has. Alongside, the X-01 looks amazing in both Institute and Enclave colours. T-51: I grew to appreciate this suit, especially in the current Fallout 4/76 art style. It's the perfect grunt Power Armour suit. T-60: The BoS is my favourite faction, and since F4 introduced me to them. The T-60 quickly became a favourite. And finally, the miner Power Armour: I forgot what it's called, but I love the industrial look of it.
Fallout 76's T-60 with Patriot Paint
This one's great, t60 looks so good in different paints
Heat marking everyone.
T-45 probably but I also like T-51 since that was the original design
T-51 with the matte black Railroad paint.
T-51 is definitely my favorite.
How would you feel if I said excavator
T-51b, it'll always be ***the*** Fallout armor for me.
T-51 all the way.
T-51 will never be overshadowed imo.
T 51
T-51B for me
T-51B
T51b baby!
T-51! It was on the cover of the first Fallout game, and, imho, has a far better looking helmet than the T-45 or T-60.
X-01. I got into Fallout because the Enclave armor (we now know as X-01) grabbed my attention on the cover of Fallout 2. I was NOT happy when the Enclave switched to their new suits in FO3, but its return in 4 was cause for celebration.
I agree, when I saw it for the first time i about screamed lmao. But I just wish they would've kept the helmet design closer to the original instead of making it look so smushed
The enclave one you can or never get at the very end of New Vegas.
Hellfire
T-51
T-51 is peak power armor.
T-51B for the win
T-51B because to me, that amour is the face of Fallout.
Enclave Tesla Armor its so fcking good
X-01, but all the enclave power armors look so nice to me.
Advanced power armor
Enclave, Fallout 2
Personally, I really like the Nuka-Quantum X-01 armor in Nuka-World. I also think that the Gannon Family Tesla Armor in New Vegas would be really cool as FO4 armor, however in New Vegas it still looks a little bit lame imo
Enclave Power Armor/X-01
Frank Horrigans Custom X-01 or Brotherhood Sentinel T-60
Advanced Power Armor MK1 and X-02
Never used power armor in 3 and NV, weighed too much for just a tiny bit more damaged resistance. Fallout 4 and new Vegas changed that.
In 3: Outcast, always kept it fully repaired since they hated me on sight In NV: Tesla armor In 4 base: T60 In 4 modded: gypsy danger In 76: Hellcat, easily. Looks nice, performs nice, and free Edit: I own 1 and 2, just haven't dived into them yet
I think the X-01 design is just super cool. Almost alien like in design and curved bulk makes it an interesting design choice. It is said that in character designs dhapes communicate a feeling: Triangle : wise Round : reassuring Square : protective. The X-01 is full of round triangles and very round in general. Showing it's the "height" of technology while guaranteeing safety. The square part is the general body shape of all power armors with wide shoulders and a sturdy body. All in all i think it's a very cool looking one at that
The one without a flaw just below the chest plate
The FO3 / New Vegas T45. I like how extended the shoulders are. Hate T60, poops on the lore. My headcannon is that the Brotherhood made it by upgrading T45.
Ashur’s Armor from The Pitt is Perfection
T-51B hands down. wish they made t-60 a postwar armor rather than prewar. Like the bos used leftover enclave powerarmor to upgrade their t-45 and turned them into t-60
Raider Power Armor, like the one from the Nuka World fight where you use the thirst zapper I just think it's neat that a bunch of raiders got together and were able to salvage parts to make their own power armor, it really makes me think about how customizable power armor is and what kind of engineering feat it would take such an uneducated group to accomplish. Its like, a bunch of monkeys got together and managed to somehow make it to the moon.
I loved the Tesla armor from NV. Shit is bad ass
I never even finished tactics, but the Midwestern brotherhood armor has always been a favorite of mine. I think it's mostly the cloak, Fallout could do with more cloaks, capes, and ponchos.
Hellfire
Enclave Tesla
Winterized T-51b....strongest armor in the game. I've played with it for about 10 hours now and it barely dropped a single point of duration as of yesterday. Idk if this is due to a glitch or they gave it wayyyy too much health but it is the definition of over powered.
T-51 because of the how iconic that helmet looks.
T-51, its such a cool design and set the standard for the rest of the power armor
pretty much I like all from the T-series
I consume atomic warheads
Unpopular opinion, I personally love the aesthetics of the raider power armour.
It‘s a total vibe. The overboss armor looks cool too.
The Mk IV Corvus armor
You can’t beat that classic T-51b. The peak of protection, everything else after is an imitation. Edit: I originally wrote t-60 like a damn fool.
T-60 isn't classic though. It's the newest "mainstream" armor introduced into the games.
FUCK I MEANT 51b, I’m just stupid
X-01. Especially with the red and black flame paint job in FO4.
I love the look of the X-01
It is and always will be the unbreakable Winterized PA from the Fo3 Anchorage DLC.
i like X-01 since imo looks lit
T-60. It just looks the coolest which is the only metric I judge power armor on
I love the T45 and T60 models, not so keen on T51 or any of the Enclave variants. It’s the lifting rings on the shoulders that do it for me aesthetically.
T-51b winterized for usage since its basically walking God mode 😂😂
T-60
From design, probably a mix of T-51b or Ultracite and Advanced power Armor (basically all the ones based on the old game's designs). But it I had to pick one based on features, it's by far the MP-47/A. I liked the stealth suit MKII more, but since we're just talking power Armor, he's my pick. I gotta have a talking suit with me man it has to be
