- For an overview of power armor in Fallout 4 see: Fallout 4 power armor.
Power armor has to be found on the world map in order to upgrade your suit. While it may appear otherwise, there are very few "guaranteed" spawns - most of the time, you will find a power armor frame with randomly generated, level-dependent pieces present. Which pieces spawn is determined by your character level and the level of the cell. In general, T-60 and X-01 power armor spawns are limited to cells which have a high minimum difficulty level set (such as the S. Boston military checkpoint, which has a 25-30 cell level) and the level, according to the following table:
Note that entering a cell that contains a spawning power armor will lock that cell to that level, making it impossible to get a higher level armor. Which also means you might want to restart from a certain save file before going there again. If you wanted X-01 armor you would have to be around Level 28.
Partial power armor spawns
- All of these locations will produce armor with just a couple of pieces present.
