![]() If you can survive easily in an Excavator Power Armor, there is no reason to use any other Power Armor (besides cosmetics). If you consider the base damage reduction of 42% for all Power Armors, legendary effects like Overeaters, optimized builds, and the diminishing returns of damage resistance values, it becomes clear that the resistance values are high enough on all Power Armors. Because in an optimized build, even the mathematically worst Power Armor is strong enough. Multiple level 100 super mutants couldn’t kill him while he was just standing in the middle of them. He used a low health build, the mod Emergency Protocols, the legendary perk card Electric Absorption, and non-legendary Power Armor pieces. ![]() The YouTuber LoneVaultWanderer did a comparison between Excavator, T-65, and Hellcat. Just by looking at the DR values, it doesn’t look like the difference between 560 DR and 240 DR would be so minor. This is the range between the highest (560) and lowest (240) damage reduction in-game. In a T-65 you’ll lose 12.6 health points. If your enemy is doing 100 damage and you’re wearing the Excavator Power Armor, you’ll lose 17.3 health points according to his test. ![]() Note: the Hellcat Power Armor wasn’t released at the time he conducted his tests and it was tested without legendary effects on the armor pieces. Thehaunted318 did a test and published his results on reddit: DamageĮffective incoming damage based on the Power Armor. The higher the resistance numbers become, the less difference it will make in-game. This is the reason why simply comparing damage resistance values between Power Armors can be very misleading. So a big part of the defenses a Power Armor provides isn’t tied to the type of Power Armor you use. Each and every Power Armor has a damage reduction of 42% (7% per piece) and radiation damage reduction of 90%.Higher resistances values will affect the damage mitigation less and less. There are diminishing returns for damage resistance values.Daily Ops while anti armor will reduce the effectiveness of damage resistance. Damage reduction is not affected by armor penetration in e.g. Damage reduction (%-based reduction) is something different than damage resistance.To find the best Power Armor for your character it is helpful to know, how damage mitigation works in Fo76. This makes it easier if you play multiple characters. It is tradeable and cheap to repair, too. Since inventory management is the true endgame of Fallout 76, the Excavator provides the most important utility. A full set of Excavators provides you with an extra 100 lbs of carry weight. The Excavator Power Armor has the best utility. Hellcat and T-65 aren’t tradeable, not even between your own characters. It’s still a very good Power Armor and being tradeable is a huge advantage to some players. The T-51b was the best defensive Power Armor before T-65 and Hellcat were introduced. You get the plans for free by playing through the main story quest of Steel Reign. The Hellcat Power Armor is very strong too and provides even more damage reduction against ballistic damage than the T-65. The downside is, that you’ll need quite a lot of Gold Bullion to buy the plans. There are multiple “best Power Armors” and the right choice depends on your use case.īut strictly for defenses, the T-65 Power Armor is generally considered the best and most prestigious Power Armor. Best Defensive Power Armorįinding the best Power Armor for your character is more complicated than comparing resistance values. This makes the Hellcat stronger against ballistic damage than the T-65. ** Hellcat provides an additional 12% ballistic damage reduction. Since the Strangler Heart Power Armor is not tradeable, it has become one of the least sought-after Power Armors in Fo76. This effect was heavily nerfed and is now barely noticeable. ![]() * Strangler Heart has the unique effect “Adds acid damage to all armed attacks and makes nearby enemies take acid damage.”. These are all the available Power Armors: Power ArmorĮvents & Responders Vendors & Rare SpawnsĭR = Damage Resistance, ER = Energy Resistance, RR = Radiation Resistance, TRD = Tradeable, SBQ = Scorchbeast Queen Each type of Power Armor has strengths and weaknesses. There are 10 different types of Power Armor available in Fallout 76. If you don’t collect it yourself it will be collected automatically. Your character will exit the Power Armor and you can put it back in your inventory (by pressing SPACE on PC).
