The X-01 series of Power Armor was specially engineered and employed by remnants of the U.S. military after the Great War, and offers increased protection over the older, pre-war models.

X-01 power armor is a type of power armor in Fallout 4.

Background[]

Main article: X-01 power armor

Design[]

The X-01 advanced powered infantry combat armor is designed for a single human operator, provided with the comfort and protection of a next-generation suit of armor. While the T-51 power armor relied on a lightweight poly-laminate composite shell for protection, the advanced model uses lightweight metal alloys as basis, reinforced with ceramic castings at key points. The resulting space savings allowed for reducing the armor's profile without compromising protection. Perhaps the most noticeable change was a completely new helmet assembly. The unusual, insect-like design features a pair of polarized eyepieces in place of the usual vision slit, providing superior battlefield awareness. The helmet's eye pieces also served as the suit's lamps, replacing the traditional single-lens attachment used in older models. The helmet's angled surfaces also help maximize the chance of outright deflecting projectiles and incoming fire.[1]

Classic power armor pauldrons were retired in favor of a "hump" that encloses the operator's head, significantly reducing the chance of enemy fire damaging the vital areas surrounding the head. The basic hydraulics system and servo-motors that provide the operator with enhanced strength are also high quality models, with improved performance as opposed to the original T-51b.[1] Additional features include an auto-gyro and the ability to lock them in position, allowing the suit to be stored upright (or the operator to take a nap while on guard duty),[2] an air conditioning system for comfort,[3] a radio headset[4], and an urine-recycling system carried over from the T-51b, allowing the operator to survive for weeks without water.[5] Despite these advancements, the X-01 suffers from severe design flaws that prevent it from seeing large scale deployment.[6]

Characteristics[]

The X-01 is the single best suit of power armor available in the game, though it is exceedingly rare. The T-60 power armor suffices for most purposes. Once parts are found past Level 28 it is possible for the Atom Cats Garage vendor Rowdy to sell 1 to 2 pieces of un-upgraded X-01 Armor.

Locations[]

  • Note that entering a cell that contains a spawning armor will lock that cell to the character's level. If the player character's level is not high enough for the X-01 to spawn, it will not spawn.

Guaranteed[]

Partial armor spawns[]

The power armor will only spawn if the player character's level is 28 or above. Note that this is for a guaranteed spawn.

Besides, inside your Power Armor, no one can tell that your eyes are closed. Just make sure you power up the auto-gyro and lock the suit's knees in position before you catch any Zs."
