Reactive plates

Reactive plates are a power armor modification in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
The reactive plates attach to the armor's chestplate and work on a similar principle of a power fist: when the plates are depressed, they push back even harder, meaning that half of incoming melee weapon damage is reflected back to the attacker. Raider, T-45, T-51, T-60 and X-01 power armor can be fitted with reactive plates, and it requires Rank 4 of Armorer to upgrade.
