Power Armor, invented by West-Tek, is an iconic type of armor in theFalloutfranchise, and for good reason. It provides its user with extra damage resistance, radiation resistance, carrying weight, and strength, making it the best armor to survive the post-apocalyptic world you find yourself in. However, these additional bonuses come at a cost, mainly performing essential functions in-game due to the size of the armor.
Knowing how to get out of Power Armor inFallout 76is crucial, since you cannot perform these actions like repairing or crafting on workbenches inside the armor. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t explain how to exit Power Armor, so it’s important to know a few essential aspects to avoid losing yourhard-earned Power Armorbecause of a silly mistake. Here’show to exit Power Armor in Fallout 76and safely store it in your inventory.
How To Exit Power Armor In Fallout 76
to exit Power Armor inFallout 76, players will need topress and hold the Activate button. Once recognized by the game, players will then see an animation of their player getting out of their power armor via the back.
Here is the default Activate button for all platforms:
It is worth noting that you can only exit your Power Armor chassis for one minute before it disappears. Don’t panic, though, because your Power Armor isn’t lost if this happens. Instead, the game will add your entire Power Armor to your inventory under the Armor section. To re-enter your Power Armor again, navigate to the Armor sectionin your Pip-Boy, select the Power Armor, and place it in the world. Then, press the Activate button again to enter it.
How to Add Power Armor to Your Inventory
If yourun out of Fusion Coresand need to store your Power Armor in your inventory, you have three options: You can wait for the minute timer to expire and have the game add it to your inventory, manually press the “Collect” button to add it to your armor inventory, or “Transfer” individual pieces of your entire suit to your inventory.
When Power Armor is added to your inventory, it takes up 10 pounds of space. However, this weight only happens when you let the game add it to your inventory or collect it as a whole. If you decide to transfer individual pieces of your Power Armor, each piece will take up more combined weight, which could cause you to become over-encumbered. For this reason, we recommend using the Collect function to add your Power Armor to your inventory.
Here is the default Collect button on all platforms:
However, if your power armor doesn’t recall for some reason, we recommend that you don’t log out of the game. Instead, enter and exit it again. After that, try to Collect it and see if it’s added to your inventory. If, for some reason, you log out before doing so, you will lose your Power Armor and have to replace it.
Finally, only drop Power Armor from your inventory if you no longer want it, need to shed unwanted weight, or find a better set like theHellcat Power Armor. A bag of items will disappear if no players are around. Otherwise, any human player can pick up the bag containing your Power Armor inFallout 76.
