The world where the Fallout games transpire is a desolate, radioactive, and deadly place. Not only do player characters need to fend off threats from humans and the environment, but they also need to fend off abominations. Now, survivors and settlers have created multiple pieces of armor to help defend themselves. However, nothing beats a suit of Power Armor, and in Fallout 4, Power Armors are more complex. In this guide, we’ll teach you, the player how to get out of Power Armor in Fallout 4. As well as, how to get your followers/companions out of theirs.
Before we discuss how to get out of Power Armor in Fallout 4, let us briefly discuss what is a suit of Power Armor.
What Is A Set Of Power Armor In Fallout 4?
In the world of Fallout games, Power Armors are usually the best when it comes to defense stats and radiation resistance. These hulking machinations are usually found later in previous games. However, in Fallout 4, you’ll be able to find a few fairly early and one is even tied to the main quest.
Aside from earlier access, Fallout 4 changed how Power Armor works. In earlier games, the Power Armor is equipped as normal armor, much like any other piece of armor in a game. One headpiece, and one for the rest of the body. However, in Fallout 4 equipment now consist of 6 parts. 1 for the head,1 for the torso, and 1 for every 4 limbs.
For Power Armor, you’ll now need a frame to which you will need to attach the parts to. Not only that but suits of Power Armor now need a battery to run and when the player owns multiples it burns through the stock. These batteries are called Fusion Cores.
Whenever you run out of Fusion Cores, your suit of power armor is unusable. Not only that but complete depletion of parts durability removes pieces and can not be attached again unless you repair them.
This is what makes knowing how to get out of Power Armor suits in Fallout 4 very important. You’ll need to get out of them to look for Fusion Cores or new frames with Power Armor parts.
Lastly, like in previous Fallout games, you can dress your companions/followers with Power Armor except for a few due to physiological reasons.
How To Get Out Of Power Armor In Fallout 4?
After introducing what a suit of Power Armor is and how it works in Fallout 4, we will now take a look at how to get out of one. To do this, players need to be in a Power Armor frame with complete parts or missing items.

Getting out of Power Armor or an empty frame is as crucial as getting in one. Your current one might have a dilapidated Fusion Core and will be unusable in the future. Getting out of Power Armor is simple and all you have to do is to do the same action when going inside one.
You can do this anywhere but remember the frame or the Power Armor suit will remain in the area you left it in. This can be a big hassle if you wish to get it back and you have not discovered any near fast travel locations in its vicinity.
Getting out of Power Armor near a Power Armor Station will allow you to repair and customize it.
Companions and Power Armor
In Fallout 4, you can still equip Power Armor on your human or synth companions. Yes, only human-sized companions or followers can enter one, sadly, Strong (Super Mutant) and Dogmeat (Dog) won’t be able to get their Power Armor. Before you do this, make sure there is a Fusion Core in the Power Armor or frame.
To make a companion enter a suit of Power Armor:
- Highlight the companion
- Press the activate/command button (X PS, A Xbox, E PC)
- Then highlight the Power Armor
- Press activate/command again
- Make sure you are as far away as possible from the Power Armor
Now, how do you get a partner out of Power Armor in Fallout 4?
- Highlight the companion
- Press the activate/command button
- Choose the “Talk” option
- Then pick “Exit Power Armor”
Why Is Power Armor Important?
Like in the earlier section, Power Armors tend to have the best defensive stats in the game. Aside from that, you gain better Radiation resistance. Lastly, with a few mods, you can increase your existing carry weight.
A suit of Power Armor can get you through the hardest missions and areas in the game. Remember to bring a lot of Fusion Cores to maximize usage.
Where To Find Power Armor And Parts?
Power Armor frames, parts, and even complete suits can be found in Multiple locations in Fallout 4. This applies to the base game and all DLC content. Some can be found in certain locations, while others drop from higher-level enemies. There are also suits of Power Armor that you can get as part of a quest while others require certain scenarios to spawn.
Overall, it is easier to find Power Armor in Fallout 4 compared to previous games but the best ones will require you to be on a higher level.
