Where to Find Every Power Armor Set in Fallout 4 (With a Map & Console IDs)

Power Armor isn’t just a suit—it’s a lifestyle. Slip into one, and suddenly you’re shrugging off bullets, resisting radiation, and carrying enough firepower to make a Super Mutant jealous. The Commonwealth is littered with Power Armor, but finding the good stuff takes some know-how. The type of armor you find often depends on your level (e.g., X-01 starts popping up at 28+), but some spots guarantee specific sets no matter what. Below, I’ve split the list into partial spawns (missing a piece or two) and complete guaranteed spawns (full suits you can count on) in Fallout 4. Stats are base values—upgrades juice them up even more!

Listen to this article!

Partial Power Armor Spawns

These suits are missing bits, but they’re still worth grabbing. Pieces vary by level, so save before you scout high-threat areas to reroll for better loot if needed.

T-45 (Damage Resistance: 500, Energy Resistance: 310, Radiation Resistance: 1050):

Mass Bay Medical Center: Radiology ward, no helmet. Easy grab if you’re near Diamond City.
Robotics Disposal Ground: No helmet, parked near Sanctuary. Great for early-game scavengers.
Hub City Auto Wreckers: Worn by a Gunner Commander, minus the helmet. Bring some firepower—Gunners don’t mess around.
South of Corvega Assembly Plant: Partial T-45 with a fusion core, west of the diner. A quick detour if you’re in the area.

T-51 (DR: 740, ER: 490, RR: 1050):

Military Checkpoint (South of Fort Hagen): Chest and right arm only, behind an expert terminal or with a password from the rooftop table. Level 14-20 for T-51 vibes.
Fiddler’s Green Trailer Estates: Chest, right arm, and right leg in a Master-locked trailer north of the office. Sneaky lockpickers rejoice!

T-60 (DR: 1020, ER: 890, RR: 1050):

Atom Cats Garage: Full set minus the helmet, owned by Rowdy. Steal it (and piss off the Cats) or buy it legit—your call. Southeast Commonwealth, near Quincy.

Raider Power Armor (DR: 500, ER: 250, RR: 1050):

Dunwich Borers: Full or partial set on a raider at the quarry’s far side. Watch for ghouls—they love this creepy spot.
Switchboard: No helmet, worn by a raider on a catwalk outside during the first Railroad quest. Sneaky Railroad fans, this one’s for you.

X-01 (DR: 1220, ER: 790, RR: 1050):

Mass Pike Interchange (Gunners Base): Nearly complete X-01 Mk VI on a Gunner. Stealth it quick—someone might hop in if you’re slow. Level 28+ recommended.

Pro Tip: Partial spawns lock their level when you enter the area’s cell. Hold off on high-level zones (like Gunners Base) until you’re 28+ to snag X-01 pieces instead of T-60 or lower.

Complete Guaranteed Power Armor Spawns

These are the holy grails—full sets you can bank on, no RNG nonsense. Some need a fight or a quest, but you’re guaranteed the whole package.

T-45 (DR: 500, ER: 310, RR: 1050):

Museum of Freedom (Concord): On the roof with a crashed Vertibird during “When Freedom Calls.” Damaged left arm and right leg, but it’s yours from the jump. Fusion core’s in the basement—don’t forget it!

T-51 (DR: 740, ER: 490, RR: 1050):

Vault 88 Quarry (Vault-Tec Workshop DLC): Full set on a raider at the quarry bottom. Kill to claim—raiders don’t share nicely. Spawns at level 14+.

T-60 (DR: 1020, ER: 890, RR: 1050):

Prydwen (Brotherhood of Steel): Three T-60s with Knight liveries plus a standard one in the repair bay. Join the Brotherhood via “Call to Arms” or loot fallen soldiers (no faction hate!). Level 21+ for peak T-60 odds.

Raider Power Armor (DR: 500, ER: 250, RR: 1050):

Cave (Glowing Sea): Full set tucked in a tunnel. Radiation’s a beast here, but the suit’s waiting—perfect for early rad resistance.

X-01 (DR: 1220, ER: 790, RR: 1050):

35 Court (Financial District): Full set behind a locked door. Take down a Sentry Bot and Assaultron, then hit the red buttons to unlock it. Level 28+ locks in X-01; go earlier and you might get T-60 instead.
Starport Nuka (Nuka-World DLC): Quantum X-01 Mk V in a display case. Needs 35 Star Cores from the “Star Control” quest. Boosts AP refresh speed—fancy and functional!

Level Hack: For level-dependent spawns (like 35 Court), wait until 28+ to enter the cell. Reload a save if you hit it too early and get stuck with lesser gear. X-01’s worth the patience!
