Power Armor, the protective, mechanized suits of armor, are some of the most iconic objects in bothFallout 76, and the entireFalloutfranchise as a whole. Because of this, it is hardly surprising that the game features a massive variety of Power Armor suits for players to find and wear. And while these suits offer a great deal of protection, there is no doubt that their considerable weight can become a hindrance. This leads manyplayers to wonder:where do I store Power Armor inFallout 76?
Storing Power Armor inFallout 76is much like storing anything else. However, there is a simple trick that players can use to maximize efficiency. This guide will explain how players can use Power Armor chassis to store the extremely heavy Power Armor parts, saving room in personal inventory and stash boxes alike.
How to Store Power Armor in Fallout 76
Storing Power ArmorinFallout 76can be accomplished in several ways. The easiest way, is to simply place the various objects into a Stash Box, and call it a day. Players will quickly learn, however, that this method is not practical in the long term. With a weight limit of 1200, the Stash Box quickly fills, and soon enough, players will be looking for which items they should delete. While, to some degree, this will always be a problem players will face inFallout 76,there is a way to make Power Armor storage less of an issue.
The key to storing Power Armor inFallout 76is collecting Power Armor chassis. Players will know that these are the essential frames that a set of Power Armor is built around. On their own, they weigh 10 pounds. And they stay at 10 pounds in player inventory, regardless of the weight of individual Power Armor pieces. For example, a full set of T-45 Power Armor can way over 50 pounds when the individual pieces are weighed. But when they are mounted on a chassis, the whole set will never weigh more than 10 pounds.
Players should consider collecting multiple chassis, as they can make Power Armor storage much more tenable.Fallout 76features a wide variety of Power Armor types, so players will want to have them stored on a chassis, not loose.
Power Armor Storage Steps:
Players can carry as many chassis as they want in their inventory. New players may want to carry only one to save space. Consider using thePortable Powerperkto significantly reduce the weight of all Power Armor pieces, including the chassis.
Where to Find Power Armor Chassis in Fallout 76
Power Armor chassis are essential for players looking to use and store multiple sets of Power Armor. The early-game goal should be at least 5 chassis. This will allow players to store the many Power Armor pieces they get throughFO76’s event rewardsor exploration.
Chassis can usually be found in industrial locations, such as mines and factories. Red Rocket gas stations are another location that often has chassis sitting in Power Armor stations free for the taking. Raider and Blood Eagles camps will often have full or partial suits sitting somewhere in the camp. Keep an eye out, as the chassis can be more useful than many of the pieces on them.
Remember, Power Armor chassis require aFusion Coreto run. Fusion Cores can be found throughout Appalachia, often plugged into generators that are found near just about every POI. The above image features the exact generator players should look out for. Many chassis will have a Fusion Core included, in that case, simply enter.
