When I make new characters I always pick up the Raider power armor first because you can use that already from lvl 15. A tip to get "unlimited" fusion cores is to absolutely abuse the atomic workshop down in south west close to the train station. Yeah, the excavator power armor is awesome.
I love excavator armor. If you want ultracite PA but aren't up to fighting the SBQ repeatedly hop to a server that has the nuke drop on it and go to the drop site where people usually take the queen down. If the corpse has disappeared it drops all the plans for each player that did damage to the queen. Very easy to farm all the basic plans for the PA.
@@MrWestTek yup that's the real prize! Going to the SBQ event location later I think the record number of plans I've picked up off the ground is around 8 or 9.
Correction: Excavator is the best power armor _period._ The advantages of Excavator far outweigh the minimal damage reduction increase you get from higher-tier power armor types. Plus, legendary effects like Overeater's or Sentinel, or mods like Emergency Protocols more than make up the damage reduction difference.
Newbie here..I had several fallout questions. Came to TH-cam and for each question I had I was recommended one of your videos. Extremely thorough and helpful. Subscribed for life!
I appreciate the video, I used it as a reference when first started the "miner miracles" mission. I know it's not the strongest power armor, but I like the design aesthetic. It has robust "mining" meets "NFL offensive lineman" look to it. The 100 lb carry capacity set bonus is great too.
The primary drawback to Excavator Armor is no jet pack. Excavator is a good first armor but most everybody’s going to want a jet pack as soon as possible. And with that Hydraulic Shocks are pretty much essential on whatever legs you use.
there's jetpack though. For a time it was possible to put a jetpack on Excavator. and unlike other legacy mods, this _hasn't_ been removed yet, at least not on PC (I have 3 Excavator chest pieces with jetpacks on them if you need one).
If you spend a bit of time vendor hopping it’s pretty easy to find a full set of overeaters excavator or ultracite piece by piece , for pretty cheap. Excavator mods are much easier to obtain for new player though.
best power armor for everyone in general is the excavator power armor with the carry weight mod. that's 200 extra carry weight. funny enough, I got an ultracite power armor after finishing the fort defiance quest so during an event in the nuking place with the flying monster, once the event ended I dropped that armor in front of everyone and a lv 29 guy took it, I even gave him 2 cores. the amazing thing about this is that there were a bunch of guys and girls but nobody took it. without communicating we all agreed that the lv 29 guy deserved it and we all acted accordingly. i love this community. I'm in no way a lv 600 I barely reached lv 175 but it feels nice to help the others at low levels. specially since my first experience in game was a group of assholes hunting and killing me all across the map until I was able to find the passive mode option which I didn't know existed so I kept dying and losing caps
Just hit lv55. Definitely worth waiting to craft it at 45. And for any new players now finding this you can get black titanium and even s little ultracite in belching betty down near the rusty pick which you can use to craft this
i found something unbelievable one time when i was looting the aaronholt homestead, in the street nearby i saw a power armor just standing there, nobody was inside, i looted it and it had a FULL FUSION CORE
Hellooooo, new player here, well somewhat new. I'm currently level 41 and I tried going to Garrahan to get the quest, but it doesn't let me interact with the poster. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Still using mine at lvl 400 but plan on switching it out with the Union PA set (set bonus gives +75 carry weight and Poison Resist). Joined season 10 late and missed out on two pieces. Damn stamps are so annoying to get. Oh, is that my 10,000th wrench I see on the floor?
I feel your pain. I was going through an upgrade process when The Pitt dropped, so I wasn't able to complete that run. I don't think I obtained only one limb for Union.
getting the screws was such a painful process...by the time I got the armor I'd found 3-4 sets of other power armor lol. I'd use it even more if I didn't max vendor caps so quickly everyday
I'm still using this armor but mostly because it seems to be the only legendary PA that drops other than Raider. I am beginning to suspect it only drops legendary PA armor that you have plans for as nothing seems to ever drop except Excavator. I did get a T-60 piece once from a Spooky Scorch but yeah... Sadly this is the only armor that drops for me. Eventually I'll earn enough cores to roll my Union Armor set.
I'm a relativly new player to the game, have played for a couple of weeks and I'm at lvl 70 right now and I really don't want to use a power armor. I've played most of the Fallout games and I've never used a power armor because I think it looks kinda...stupid, but now I realise I maybe have to use one in Fallout 76, starting to reach enemies where I just cannot survive in regular armor while spamming stimpacks. Also telling new player to head to Garrahan Mining Headquarters is just mean lmao, I went into that place the other day and I've never in my whole playthrough seen the level of security like in that place, it's just ridiculous
i am new to fallout 76. you said in your video you level up fast but i am only lvl 17 and having a hard time leveling up i have 3 power armor chassis and the plans for the excavator armor. do you hav a video on how to level up fast?
I know it's a little late, but there's a bug with the posters. You can bypass it by going straight to the computer at the reception around 2:00 . That should let you continue with the quest line.
Wanna hear a funny thing?) Me, lvl 485 I'm using Excavator PA with only ONE legendary piece) And this doesn't stop me from soloing any operation below 8 min, or soloing the Pitt with all objectives)
Hey, thanks for all the tips. Lvl 84 over here and have lots of issues using the pa stations. Any chance you can put together something for that or know of someone that recently has would be much appreciated
No problem. It can be confusing. Just bring your PA over to the station and you can craft or modify. If it puts on pieces you don't want while crafting, which it will, just put it down and use the transfer option to remove/place pieces on the chassis. Hope this helps buddy :)
Thanks, my issue seems to be that it doesn’t matter which pa station i am using. Because once i put my pa in. It won’t let me do anything. Usually have to quit out to main menu.
Sadly this quest has bugged out for me ive tried starting it multiple times ,world and game resets but it just wont start the quest at the sign even though the marker is there for the quest ,any advice?
Tunnel of Love will provide all the black titanium you’ll ever need. Question about that though. Once this season has ended will Nuka World leave or are all the events going to be permanent additions?
I need a beginners guide because I’m at a part in the game where I need powe armor because I hate switching to hazmat or stealth armor to fight scorchbeast queen in a nuke zone
I'll see what I can do buddy! Just get to level 45 and work one getting this power armor. It'll help you in nuke zones. Just have radaway handy and you should be good! You can do it ;)
Unless your using another set for the extra bonuses (hellcat/union) you might as well just use excavator as most of the actual damage reduction in standard PA comes from the frame . The basic survivability difference across all the base game PAS is pretty negligible . Your perks and the legendary prefix will make the most difference.
@@necrosiss2170 just learned about oe from angry turtle. Just got the full set of t65 so I'm rolling for oe for that. I have better luck with rolling one star on each piece took me ten tries to get at least 3 of them OE.
I'm trying to get the weapons meant for tank builds( power armour builds). I got the perks but I'm trying to find good weapons for the build specifically.
I find that the power armour in public get snagged so I am more likely to find one in private and I have found several in private and the only one in public I found was left by a player!!!

Excavator is good, but I'd say union's is better. Almost as good carry weight on top of the poison mitigation.
Yeah hellcat excavator and union are all ya need
You can mine black titanium in belching Betty mine as well . I usually make sure I mine it when I do the fire breathers quest.

Power Armor for beginners. “Wait until you’re level 45,”
How are you making out?
I mean in the long run 45 isn't even that much
Dude any one below lvl 100 barely qualifies as a noob 😂
@@crepskul2227what if one conveniently joined 3 days ago (I just made it to level 20 😞)
@@Historicalfan-ec4dv Hey ! I just joined on Sunday, maybe we can level up together ! :) I'm about to hit lvl 20 as well
I love that your friends helped you with the tutorial! Haha. They really had your back making sure nothing went wrong for this tutorial ❤
It’s been so great giving this game a chance again I can’t put it down! Your videos have been very helpful the last couple weeks thank you

It can be a good Option with overeaters and emergency protos... a simple and good Allrounder

No fun allowed!
Tried this last night. The sign at the beginning had button prompt do activate to start the quest. Idk if it was bugged or something.

that enclave inferno power is so dope so nostalgic its exciting
Your videos helped me so much. thank you

Love the excavator PA. It woks good, sometimes too good given my stash limit lol but that's a good problem to have.
Haha, very well put. It was my favorite for awhile
i found something unbelievable one time when i was looting the aaronholt homestead, in the street nearby i saw a power armor just standing there, nobody was inside, i looted it and it had a FULL FUSION CORE
Nice find :)
You can still do the quest just go to the bottom and access the terminal the quest progress is bugged but not the actual quest
Thanks I needed this I just started playing today and I didn’t know how to get power armor
Glad I could help :)
Hellooooo, new player here, well somewhat new.
I'm currently level 41 and I tried going to Garrahan to get the quest, but it doesn't let me interact with the poster. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
You can get the power armour without following the quest just go to the bottom and access the terminal
If i remember right level 20/25 locked reward.
You can do the quest before but will be unable to build the armor.
Minimum is Level 25 :)
Awesome video! Thank you for the guide.

Excavator is a must in my opinion. Definitely a good idea :)
getting the screws was such a painful process...by the time I got the armor I'd found 3-4 sets of other power armor lol. I'd use it even more if I didn't max vendor caps so quickly everyday
why did you skip the way to the terminal?

What weapon is he using and where do you get it?
Nice video as always man! Btw do you know when the limit of daily script is gonna get increased to 500?
I'm hoping it's coming with the new season 🤞
Any updated guide to power armor? I wanna make the switch but want to tick all the requirements
I'm working on it ;)
Is that the Jak X combat racing soundtrack remix???
I've crafted dozens of level 10 T-45s for beginners. It's truly game breaking.
I'd prefer the excavator tng.
@@MrWestTek for sure. But as level 10s it's pretty OP. If they are 25, I craft them Excavator 100%. Nothing really beats it like you said

dose this work for all
I use my Sheepsquatch skinned Excavator armor and put my other pretty ones in displays.
It won't let me click the sign but I have the mission is miscellaneous
there is one asaultron which is really powerfull 😁
Ultracite PA is easy enough, most players end up selling the plans cheap and you get them from just joining in on all the Scorched Earth events.
I feel the Excavator is a much better option. It's a short mission to get the plans, has an insane carry weight limit, and the plans can be bought.
Unless your using another set for the extra bonuses (hellcat/union) you might as well just use excavator as most of the actual damage reduction in standard PA comes from the frame . The basic survivability difference across all the base game PAS is pretty negligible . Your perks and the legendary prefix will make the most difference.
LEVEL 61 NOT ONE POWER AMORER TILL NOW THANK YOU
This is the only power armor everyone needs until they can get t65 and the t65 calibrated shocks
I got a few torsos I was able to add jetpacks to
I use t65 and strangler heart
Recommended for beginners.......lvl 45 beginners?
When i started someone gave me the raider power armor and a chassis
only thing im pissed off about is that my fallout thingy wont let me examine the god damn poster.
Wont let me click the sign
cannot register armor
So yo don’t need the plans for this ?
poster does not give the mission...no what?
I just got mine 2 weeks ago
Level 45!?
thats pretty early, late game levels are usually around 500-800
I wish it had a jetpack ;-;
Used excavator until level 300 lol.
I'm still using it at 3000 lol. Serious.
Excavators with overeaters and protocols is just as good survivability as any other base PA.
Still using mine at 457. No need to change in most situations honestly.
