Fallout 4 power armor painting. How to get different paint schemes

Description:
This mod adds new offline color options to Fallout 4 for all variants of the in-game Power Armor. New types of modifications do not affect or replace game ones.

Update:1.1a (Translation)
* The mod itself has not been updated. Completely revised translation. Download the updated.esp from the additional link.
- Fixed errors and inaccuracies in the translation, there are no more "Paints tagged with FO4WarTags or FO4WTLS" there are normal names for the color of the armor. Important!!! Bethesda made the vanilla decals for the arms and legs "mirror", i.e. one texture per left and right side, in this mod there are additional textures for the left and right sides (marked with numbers 1 and 2). To paint the armor correctly, you need to use one number on the paint for the left side, and another on the right side, respectively. It's very easy - when painting, just see if the corresponding name for the armor appears at the top or not. Appeared? BINGO!!! you did everything right!!!

Update:1.1
- The mod has been reworked so that the names of the parts of the armor are displayed correctly. This should lead to confusion as to which colors to apply to the arms and legs. This means that the paints for the right and left parts of the Power Armor will display the names when applied correctly.
- New paints have been added for the following Power Armor variants: T-45: Minutemen, T-51: Underground, T-60: Elite Brotherhood Soldier and Gunner Commander, X-01: "Victory" Vault and Institute.
- Now there will be a correct application of paint.
- One of the Gunner commanders can wear a fully upgraded T-60 set, be careful!
- Added new jetpacks for each faction. I made it so that each jetpack can be applied to any Power Armor without any issues.
- Added an optional file that adds a level list for Shooters. Requires main mod, replace file.

Update:1.0.3
- Minor changes in texture maps of reflections (spec maps) for T-60 armor.
- Now the mod itself includes 3 autonomous Jetpacks for different types of armor with the ability to overlay a unique coloring in different versions, thanks to the author of ThirdStorm, each backpack with its own design ("Death from Heaven", "Red Fury" and "Green Car").

Update:1.0.2
- All mod files are now packed in .b2a format, if you previously installed the previous version, then you will have to delete all mod files completely.
- Files are now saved in DXT1 format with appropriate mipmaps.
- Adjusted the wear effect in the special texture maps to be a little more friendly with ENB mods that have a low amount of brightness.

More:
1. There are 16 color variations in total, for each type of Power Armor, which have 2 color options with a unique design for the body and helmet to choose from.
2. All parts of the armor will be handmade worn effect with appropriate normal texture maps to make every detail look realistic.
3. Optional coloring option for the Jetpack, with its own unique stickers and textures.
4. The legs and arms of the Power Armor will have individual textures, so there will be no repetitive symmetrical coloring in the Power Armor set.
5. These skins do not have special overlays or attributes attached to them, so can be used with mods that contain material attributes from Power Armor.
6. Texture quality in 2K and 4K quality.
7. 3 autonomous Jetpacks with the ability to modify a unique coloring.

How to use and where to find:
1. As usual, at the Power Armor Service Station you will find all the paint options.
2. There are options for right and left limbs. Green shades. Red shades.
3. Important!!! Bethesda made the vanilla decals for the arms and legs "mirror" i.e. one texture for the left and right side, in this mod there are additional textures for the left and right sides (marked with numbers 1 and 2) To paint the armor correctly you need to use one number for the left side on the paint, respectively on the right another. It's very easy - when painting, just see if the corresponding name for the armor appears at the top or not. appeared? BINGO!!! you did everything right!!!
4. Pay special attention to the limbs when adding paint. Make sure the distinguished names and numbers match.
5. RECOMMENDED: I use textures from this mod" Black Titanium Power Armor Frame ", a very nice black Power Armor frame.

Question: Why are the numbers and inscriptions on the legs and arms different when I applied them?
Answer: To paint the armor correctly, you need to use one number on the paint for the left side, and another on the right side, respectively.

Requirements:
Fallout 4

When upgrading from 1.0.2 to 1.1:
- If you installed optional unique textures for the Jetpack, then delete the files pajetpack1_s.dds and pajetpack1_d.dds in the path Data/textures/actors/powerarmor
- Install the new version 1.1

Foreword...

About power armor

power armor- the most powerful type of armor in Fallout 4. A character in power armor turns into a "mini-tank", capable of fighting alone against an entire army.

In addition to increasing the protective characteristics, power armor also provides unique features - for example, the ability to safely fall from a great height.

Some facts:

As with other items, there are many modifications to power armor;
In power armor, you can enter buildings;
Power armor stays where you left it, you can't "put" it in your inventory;
To use power armor, you need a special "charger".

Power armor can be found throughout the Commonwealth, mostly in old military bases.

Healthy Power Armor greatly reduces the damage you take. However, unlike normal armor, pieces of power armor can take damage, which reduces the overall level of protection.

Power Armor, whatever state it's in, increases the damage of your melee attacks, increases your maximum load capacity, prevents fall damage, and, if you're also wearing a helmet, allows you to stay underwater longer.

To get out of the power armor, hold [E].

If at the time of depletion of the used nuclear block you will have another of the same block with you, the replacement will be made automatically. Otherwise, you'll either have to find a new nuke to restore the functionality of the power armor, or leave the suit.

Nuclear blocks can be pulled from old generators or purchased from merchants.

Power armor elements

Power armor consists of two main parts - a frame and a set of armored elements.

Each piece of armor attached to the frame increases your damage resistance, but the frame of power armor can be used even if it does not have any pieces on it. Such a frame will still protect you from fall damage, give you increased melee damage, and also allow you to carry more weight.

Armor pieces can take damage. When you are in power armor, the status of the armor elements is displayed on the suit icon on the left side of the screen. Elements painted red are severely damaged and must be replaced. If any section is empty, this means that the corresponding element is either missing or completely destroyed and must be replaced.

You can also check the status of a piece of armor by selecting it from the Clothing section of the Items (Previous) tab or from the Power Armor Workshop screen.

To attach or remove an armor piece to a frame, select it from the Clothing section of the Items tab.

You can also add or remove armor pieces by using the Power Armor Workshop, or by approaching your Power Armor and pressing [R] to bring up the Move Items menu.

Power Armor Repair

You can repair damaged armor pieces at any power armor workshop. If you have the required components, select the damaged item on the Items page and press [Space]. If you don't have the required components, select an item and press [Space] to see what components are required.

Power Armor Mods

In the Power Armor Workshop, you can also install and remove Power Armor Mods. Mods can increase damage resistance, change armor colors, reduce energy consumption, and add bonuses to parameters and temporary effects.

In the future, you can wear on the frame:

Power Armor Helmet
Power Armor Torso
Power Armor Right Arm
Power Armor Left Arm
Power Armor Right Leg
Power Armor Left Leg

Power Armor Marker

If you get out of the power armor, a marker will automatically appear on the map showing the location of the armor. the marker marks only the set of power armor that you used the last time. You will have to look for the previous sets yourself.

nuclear blocks

Nuclear blocks (Fusion Core) - power armor works on nuclear blocks. The charge of the nuclear block is reduced when the following actions are performed:

acceleration;
powerful attacks;
using VATS

After the charge of the nuclear block runs out, your movement speed will decrease, and you will not be able to carry out powerful attacks and use VATS.

About the location of nuclear blocks

Nuclear blocks can be found everywhere. There is also a map on which many things are marked, including the location of nuclear blocks. Here is the map itself - in order to leave only the locations of nuclear blocks, it is worth crossing out everything except FUSION CORE. Happy searching!

Equipment when found

The higher the level of the character, the better the power armor comes across.
That is, it will not work to immediately collect the T-51 or T-60 at a low character level.

All sets of power armor (with some exceptions) are random in nature, so in the same place you can find word armor in which there will be one of the parts - for example, a leg or several parts at once...

This set is missing:
Power Armor Helm
Both hands of power armor
Left Leg Power Armor

Power armor T-45

TTX Armor T-45 slightly higher than Raider Armor. Repairs and upgrades are priced the same as Raider Armor.

The very first power armor which will come across to you along the storyline. Immediately from Vaults 111 follow in Freedom Museum and do quests Preston Garvey. The armor will be on the roof.

After you get into adventures.
Where to find: Head east from Vault 111 and reach the Robotics Disposal Ground. Here you will find several batteries and "Fat Man", that is, "tactical hand-held nuclear grenade launcher."

Also partially T-45 armor can be found underwater, at the crash site of a rotorcraft in Covenant Lake.

Where to find: heading from Vault 111 southeast to Rocket Red Red Rocket (where the Dog companion is located). In the north of the lake and there are debris.

Important: The radiation level is high, be careful. Dive in and find what you're looking for.

More parts of the T-45 armor (torso and helmet) can be found, if you move to southeast of the lake and reach the shipyard Irish Pride Industries Shipyard. Another vertibird has crashed here, and armor pieces will be among its wreckage.

Another frame of power armor can be found on one of the plates of the location "Satellite dish of Revere Beach" (Get ready to meet the pressure of super-mutants). Sometimes you can also find the Fat Man there.

Power armor T-51

Average of all kinds Armor t-51 in terms of performance characteristics a little better than Armor T-45. Repairs and upgrades cost a little more than Armor T-45. T-51 hard to find fully equipped if you're below level 20.

You can also find an incomplete set in the bunker (on which there are two turrets) next to the location "Training ground of the National Guard"

South Boston Military Outpost

Another set of T-60 Armor can be found near "South Boston Military Outpost".

In this guide, we will show you how to repair, modify and dye power armor. We will also show where the magazines are located, giving various options for coloring the suit.

There are five versions of Power Armor in the game: Raider Power Armor, T-45, T-51, T-60 and X-01. Where you can find it, we told in. Here we will only talk about its operation.

Power armor is one of the more interesting aspects of the Fallout games and is often seen as a symbol of unstoppable technological progress. But unlike the previous parts, in Fallout 4 players are given the opportunity to get their own metal armored suit at the very beginning of the game.

Since the very first installment, the Fallout series has given players the ability to become a metal Goliath through the use of armor, an advanced suit that is an integral part of this game series. In Fallout 4, players can change and modify the elements of power armor, paint it in accordance with individual tastes and style of passage. Just like a rare classic car needs repair and maintenance, so power armor needs to be diligently cared for.

Tips for using Power Armor:

Your armor can be stolen! So leaving it, take out the nuclear block;
Active classes quickly consume the charge of the nuclear unit;
Collect Hot Rod magazines to unlock paint schemes and perks;
Skills Science!, Blacksmith and Gunsmith are required to create advanced mods.

Main characteristics

Power armor protects the character's entire body. It consists of a main frame and six modules: a torso, four limb modules and a helmet. The most important part of the suit is the nuclear block, which is required for the armor to work. Without it, the suit turns into a sedentary iron coffin.

When wearing power armor, the damage received by the character, including from radiation, is reduced. It gives players a boost in strength, which increases the maximum weight they can carry. The armor also prevents all fall damage, allowing you to jump from rooftops into the thick of enemies.

However, don't get carried away. The nuclear block depletes very quickly, and even faster when running in a suit: try to run a little in power armor, and notice how quickly the nuclear block charge arrow drops. Hidden movement, on the contrary, saves energy, but it is not convenient to use it all the time. As a general rule, it's best to save power armor for boss fights.

Players can get their first Power Armor shortly after exiting Vault 111. After talking to the Sanctuary Hills, travel to Concord and free the people at the Freedom Museum in the quest "". In the second half of the quest, players are given a fully functioning suit complete with a nuclear unit.

You can use the armor as is, or you can repair and modify it. You can also buy or steal individual components, which will require much more effort.

Modification and repair

When well modified, power armor can turn you into a real Iron Man. For repair and modification, you first need to find an armor service station. It's the big yellow frame next to the workshops. For example, they are in Sanctuary Hills and at the Red Rocket gas station. And in the course of the game you will meet service stations in the most unexpected places. There are no problems with this.

By looking at the armor you can always see a list of components to repair/modify/replace. This does not require a service station:

To replace modules, click "Details" while standing next to the armor (and not the service station), and use the desired module from the inventory.

If there is no station nearby, then you can only replace one module with another. Repairs and modifications require a service station.

Power Armor Repair

To carry out repairs, stand in armor next to the service station and exit it. Next, go to the station and click "Use".

Select the defective items and click "Repair" if you have the materials you need to repair. Suits cannot fully function with broken parts, so repairs must be done regularly.

Power Armor Mod

To modify, select the desired module and click Modify. Depending on the parts you have, you will see the available upgrade options.

For each modification level, you can view the required components.

If you do not have enough spare parts, but there are items that can be disassembled into the necessary things, then this will happen automatically:

Many modules require aluminum, glue, copper, springs, etc. to be upgraded, so mark the materials you need for later search.

There are different types of modifications that change the functionality of power armor. Base mods offer various levels of protection, such as damage resistance and resistance to energy attacks. Material mods, such as active armor, return half of the damage dealt to the attacker and provide other bonuses. Many modifications require the costume to consist of the same mods, otherwise there will be no bonus:

Different mods can be applied to different pieces of armor to activate powerful bonuses. The effects of different mods are often based on the function of the armor component. For example, arm mods improve melee combat, while leg mods affect walking speed and damage when jumping on enemies from above. A helmet can be equipped with a flashlight, a jet pack is used to increase mobility, a Tesla Coil in the torso deals energy damage to nearby enemies.

Browse through the mod options to find the one best suited to your play style. To access advanced armor modification options, it is necessary to develop the Science!, Blacksmith and Gunsmith skills. For example, to create a jetpack, you need the fourth level of the Science perks! and Gunsmith.

Power armor can be dyed, also receiving bonuses for it. Paint options are available for every armor component except Raider Power Armor. New color options can be obtained by completing quests for certain factions or by reading Hot Rod magazines (where to find them is written below).

nuclear blocks

As we mentioned earlier, nukes are the lifeblood of armor. These precious batteries can be purchased from merchants (about 500 caps each) or taken from generators, abandoned suits and random containers in the Wasteland.

Look for them in basements, as generators are usually found there. If you plan to use Power Armor frequently, try to keep a supply of Fusion Cores. If the block is depleted while the armor is equipped on you, the spare will automatically activate.

Keep an eye on your energy levels while wearing the suit so that you don't get immobilized at the wrong time. Running, walking, VATS deplete the nuclear block. When the charge is used up, the powered suit starts to move very slowly, forcing it to leave. If this happens during a firefight or a quest, you will have to abandon it and come back for the armor later.

On the map, power armor is shown as a helmet icon, so it is impossible to lose it.

Fast travel can be done inside Power Armor even with a fully depleted nuclear unit. To manually replace a nuclear block, walk up to the armor and click "Change" to insert the block into the armor's inventory in the same way as changing its parts. Power armor can be stolen by enemies, so take out the power block while leaving it!

Put the time and effort into learning and modifying Power Armor and it will help you survive life-threatening situations and defeat difficult enemies.

How to change the color of power armor

To repaint armor, open an armor service station, select an armor component and its coloring option. When applying the Hot Rod coloration to all components, Agility is increased by 1 point. Armor painting is free of charge.

How to get different color options:

Complete the Call for Freedom quest as the Minutemen to obtain the T-45 Minutemen coloration option;
complete the quest "Conspiracy" for the faction "Railroad" to get a variant for the T-51;

Location of Hot Rod Magazines

The first magazine can be found near Sanctuary in the cemetery of old robots. It lies on a table inside a small concrete building:

The other one is in the Atomic Cats Garage, guys who are professionally engaged in modifying power armor. Find the trailer of Zeke - the leader of the Atomic Cats, the magazine is on the table near the bed.

Power Armor Fallout 4 Provides powerful protection against all types of damage. This walking steel fortress requires a significant amount of resources and time to modify all components. But a few small effective changes can be made easily, in this guide we will show you how.

How to change the color of Power Armor

Before you can change the color of the Power Armor, you need to find the Hot Rod magazines. After that, a new Power Armor custom paint job will become available.

You can change color at the Power Armor Service Station
Approach the station in armor and get out of it by holding the E button
Select Use->[Part of Armor]->No Material Modification->Flame Hot Rod Paint
Painting all parts of the armor in the Flame Hot Rod color will increase Agility by 1.
Painting is free.

How to get different paint schemes

Complete the task " call of freedom” from the Minutemen to unlock the paint scheme for the T-45 Power Armor
Complete the task " undercover work” at the Underground to unlock the paint scheme for the T-51 Power Armor

IN Fallout 4 series you can find 5 types of power armor: raiders, and X-01. In ours you can find all the answers to questions that relate to the search for power armor.

It is power armor that is, so to speak, its feature and, also, one of the important elements in the game, because if you think about it, then without it you can hardly do anything, and, moreover, it makes your life much easier in the game.

I would like to immediately give you some advice on how best to use power armor:

For starters, always pull the nuclear block out of it the moments you leave it somewhere, because not only you like it, so that it can be stolen;
I would also like to remind you that the more difficult the tasks are for your armor, the faster the energy of your core block will be spent;
Collect all the Hot Rod magazines and you can visually improve your armor. But where to find them you can read in our article here;
You need the Blacksmith and Gunsmith so that you can create much more advanced mods for your armor.

Main characteristics

Of course, this power armor is designed to fully protect your hero. The most important, so to speak, organ in this power armor is the nuclear block, it is with its help that you can use this armor, but without it it becomes just a piece of unnecessary iron.

Wearing armor, at least you do not receive almost any damage, because it is she who takes everything upon herself. Also, in it you get a much smaller share of radiation. And another advantage of the armor is that when you are in it, you can simply rush into a huge crowd of enemies and, in general, nothing threatens you.

Modification and repair

With a very good, competent and correct modification of your armor, you can become simply incredibly powerful and dangerous for everyone - enemies will always try to bypass you. Well, for starters, in order for the player to be able to do something with the armor at all, then first you will need to find a power armor service station. It's the big yellow frame next to the workshops. At the beginning of the game, most likely, it will be very difficult for you to find such stations, but, believe me, that further, as the game progresses, this will not be a problem at all and you will meet them simply in the most unexpected places.

In general, you can always find out what can be done with the armor and, also, whether it needs to be repaired, whether it is possible to modify something in it, or replace it, as it turned out, this does not require a station at all. You can always find out just by looking at your armor.

You can also replace one module with another without using a station, in the end, and the whole list of what you can do with your armor without a special station.

Power Armor Repair

To get started, climb into the reservation, then go to the service station and leave it there. And then just select "Use".

Select the item that is broken and click on the "Repair" button. I also advise you to regularly repair your armor, because if it has something broken, then it will not be able to fully work.

Power Armor Mod

To do this, you need to select any of the elements of your armor and check the "Modify" item. Further, depending on how much material you have and, no less important, which one, the station will offer you available modifications.

Also, if, suddenly, you do not have enough materials to upgrade, do not rush to panic, because you can always disassemble one of the items into parts, among which, in any case, there is exactly what you are missing.

I also want to remind you that there are various types of modifications that will pump something separate for you. So choose one type of pumping, or, if you can balance everything correctly, you can try to pump your armor, so to speak, versatile.

And for each of the elements of your armor there are their own mods and each of them pumps something into it. Try experimenting a little with leveling up your armor and make it perfect for your fighting style.

You can receive an important armor bonus for you when you repaint it. New types of painting can be obtained by completing various quests, as well as from Hot Rod magazines, information about which you can find in our other article at the following link.

nuclear blocks

And now we'll talk about what breathes life into your armor, namely, nuclear blocks. And, like everything in the game, you can get them in 2 popular ways: either buy them (the approximate price for one such block is about 500 caps), or steal them (although it will be much more difficult, but you won’t spend a penny). But, also, there is also a 3rd option, free and legal, but rather long. It lies in the fact that you can find nuclear blocks in various generators, abandoned suits, and also in random containers in the Wasteland.
