If you see a frame with pre-built armor you take the whole frame, not the pieces off of it, or you'd be over-encumbered in ten seconds flat. I think it's safe to say that we all see power armor similarly - it's damn heavy. Of course, if you fear for the safety of your X-01 or similar highly leveled armor, I wouldn't blame you for heading to the 'How is this possible?' section of the text. As you can probably tell, I have a strong personal connection with today's topic, so there may be attitude and language in this piece - you've been warned!īefore I can explain how power armor can go missing and how to prevent it, I'll need to tell the story of how two, not one, but two sets of fully upgraded, pristine power armor - frame and all - went missing from my most heavily fortified settlement.
