Ok. I think I will have to explain this myself. Let's start from the beginning. The X-01 was a prewar prototype developed in the Withespring bunker before the Great War. After the bombs fell, Modus sended the blueprints to the Poseidon Oil Rig. Decades later, the Enclave started to improve this power armor, manufacturing the Advanced Power Armor MKI (APA MKI). By the time when Fallout 2 tooks place, the Enclave had developed not only the APA MKI, but its successor: the APA MKII. The APA MKII was used by several soldiers of the Enclave around 2242. For example, Sg. Arch Dornan. It can also be found at the Poseidon Oil Rig. What happened when Bethesda released Fallout 3? They changed the style of the APA MKII. Now, the canon APA MKII looks like the "Enclave Power Armor". Now, pay attention: In Fallout 2, you can clearly see that the APA MKII is better in every single way than the APA MKI. So try to do as if all the statistics of the power armor in Fallout 3 had never existed. This is because what Bethesda did with the power armor in Fallout 3 was the biggest disaster of all the lore of Fallout series. Several decades after the release of the APA MKII, the Enclave developed the Hellfire Power Armor, which could be called "APA MKIII". Something really important is that Lonesome Roads refers to this power armor as "Prototype X-03". To finish this, I will make some points: The X-01 is not the APA MKI, but the prototype used to make it. The X-02 has never existed, but would be a very good name to refer to the APA MKII. This armor is better than the APA MKII in all ways (ignore Fallout 3, please). To confirm this, read the lab terminals of the Citadel. They say that the Enclave soldiers look almost the same as the ones seen in 2242 at the west coast. Also, you can read a tactical evaluation of Enclave forces, which says "Armor: Advanced Power Armor MKII", meaning that is the same that you can find at the Poseidon Oil Rig, the same that Dornan uses. The Hellfire Power Armor is, actually, the sole model of Enclave power armor that is really called "X-03", and you could call it "Advanced Power Armor MKIII", if you want. Hope that this helps you.
@@elcentinelafo4523 Which makes zero sense. The Enclave Power Armor aka X-02 being (slightly) worse than the X-01 makes more sense than it just being better in every way. The 01 was a top of the line Prototype with very hefty manifacturing costs. The 02 was not as good, but cheaper to produce which is why the Enclave was able to largely outfit all their Soldiers with it even in the middle of the Post Apocalypse.
First of all. "X-02" it's not even a thing. The real name is "Advanced Power Armor MKII". Second, you can find this armor in Fallout 2. As you will see in the game, is better in every way than the APA MKI. Also, every soldier has this armor at the Poseidon Oil Rig, so that "need of resources" has been never a problem. Where did you hear that? I have played every Fallout but Tactics and this seems to be a misunderstanding of Fallout fans who never played Fallout 2 or New Vegas. Moreover, did you play New Vegas? Obsidian fixed Bethesda's error making the T-51 and the APA MKI worst than the APA MKII and the Hellfire Power Armor. You can see this just comparing their stats. Canon is canon, and the APA MKII is better than the MKI.
The Hellfire has a special spot in my heart. The Enclave made special power armor just so they can burn muties to death with more ease. It brings a tear to my American eyes…
It's sad that the enclave is a unjoinable faction, the closest thing we got is help the remnants (eden does not count that is just a genocidal toaster not the president of america)
The Enclave armor featured in fallout 2 and new vegas isnt XO-1, but rather APA MK1 / 2 , a highly advanced suit created by the Enclave on the San Francisco oil rig post war. The XO-1 was the prewar prototype of this armor. The Enclave just improved and finalised the design, they're related, but not the same.
It IS the X-01. APA is the “layman’s term” while x-01 is the formal/model name. Same reason why t-51 is called “power armor” in fallout 1/2 and the same for the t-45 in fallout 3. X-01 was simply called “advanced power armor”because that’s all it was in fallout 2 and 3: the super cool new power armor that only the enclave had the capability to mass produce while wastelanders and brotherhood had to make use of the antique models.
@@KristopherPrimethat’s just wrong. the x-01 is a pre war prototype. advanced power armor is an enclave design. you can see the differences between the x01 and apa in game
@@jose97777 I am well aware the x-01 is a pre-war prototype armor that the enclave continued the development of. As for differences, they are minor. Each fallout game generation has a difference in design for recurring armors and elements that in reality would make the t-51b of fallout 3/NV different power armor from the version in 4 or 76. If anything, the minor design just prove my point for the x-01. They are still at their core the same power armor model, the enclave just made some improvements before eventually making the next sets of x-series/APA: X-02/APA Mk2 and X-03/Hellfire
Despite having lots of flaws, I gotta say Fallout 4 power armor is the best. It perfectly fits what power armor should be, older games feel like it is just a very heavy equipment. Kudos to the dev team for at least getting on point with something

The only flaw it have - common frame for all types. This makes different PA just customized plates insted of different mechanisms. Its better each PA had its own frame with uniqe design and properties.
By the time i found the helfire in fallout 3 was the time the game was unplayable due to the game constantly crashing. Still my favorite armor type tho.

I like that Maximus in the TV Series shares his name with Maximus Leader of the Dagger Squad that assist the Warrior in taking Vault 0.
While it's unclear if they are related (something people will often argue about the X-01 and the APA from FO2), I would also toss the power armor & advanced power armor from Fallout Tactics alongside the X-02 Black Devil armor, as it seems to have been the IRL inspiration for its Fallout 3 incarnation. Lore-wise, FO Tactics is in a gray area where only parts of it are canon, namely BoS airships and a detachment heading east before Lyons, while the retconned origins of the BoS, indicating that they came form a vault, is certainly not canon.
All the previous fallout power armors from before fallout 4 did not feel like power armor, it just felt like normal armor, probably because they were so small.

They are tho. When you upgrade X-01 it is called mk2. The mk1 is the pre war version. The only reason there are others in 4 and 76 is for gameplay. Same reason some guns in those games shoot bullets but deal plasma damage or a knife can freeze a person.

No its not. Im getting sick of this sh*t. APA is X01. Bethesda has completely bastardized the setting of Fallout. They did that to confuse people and it seems to have worked. Not on me. They can F themselves. X01 is APA, and its POST WAR FFS.

@@jokujoeEvery Fallout game before 4 depicts Power Armor as heroic and muscular, not obese. Even 1 and 2, when you look closely, show PA as a moderately sized suit. You can be bulky whilst not being fat and being a big target. Additionally, the hand-to-eye coordination with the mechanical hands must be a pain, I mean other than carrying heavy weapons the suit depicted in 4 lacks versatility. When in war, you must be able to complete a variety of tasks quickly without having to exist and enter your armor.
@@randomvideas4306 i absolutely agree bro just saying imo makes no sense that in F3 and NV they look like normal costumes They dont change your height or anything, Like they dont even look like armor, it looks really bad, in my opinion. if you like them that's fine!
It's actually pretty funny because I used to have an opinion that power armor in Fallout 3/NV is too skinny and in F4/76 it is far more too bulky and the most amazingly fitting into setting vibe so far was made in New Vegas by modders developing this aspect of the game (including more hardass/heavy movement animations to it). I hope they'll (anyone who's taking control over the ip) downgrade the scale of this armor in the future.
Anybody get reminded of like a jaguar or something with the helmet on the hellfire. Also you could’ve added Tesla stuff and enclave paint to the xo 1 from fo4
I don't like the Fallout 4 adaptations of X0-2. It doesn't look like it has the same polish and re-design of X0-1. It looks like they just, kind of took fallout 3's existing one and stapled it over the frame without really re-designing it for 4.
For those who dont know X01 is not APA, the older games used advanced power armor which was enclave produced armor, fallout 3s is different that 2 and new vegases because it is made in the east with cheaper resources, 2 and nvs were made on the enclave oil rig off the coast of california within the inbuilt factories upon the poseidon oil rig which was designed as a vast improvement to the X01 power armor and looked COMPLETELY different, snd the creation club x02 is not actually lore accurate as it is actuslly ravenrock Mk2 apa, aswell as x03 being adams afb hellfire power armor, i hope this lets you learn the differences.
x-01 and apa have the same design look at fallout 4s loading screen "The X-01 series of Power Armor was specially engineered and employed by remnants of the U.S. military after the Great War, and offers increased protection over the older, pre-war models." bethesda just messed up lore with nuka world yes x01 looks different than advanced power armor in fallout 2 but the t-51 also looks different than in fallout 1 its just a different art style
@@vlexonkol8466 Yes and No, atoms in Fallout 76 can be earned by completing challenges and also progressing through the season board. It’s the longer way to do it but that involves no spending of real money
It is known fact that there was NO X-02 or X-03 (hellfire) power armors in fallout 4. They were as unnoficial mods and were added with a recent patch. So for me there is still NO official good-looking "modern" enclave power armor.
They were official mods you could buy through the creation club and no they were not added to the games by a recent patch. I have no idea who told you that but it’s definitely not a known fact
@@My_Most_Honest_Reaction For me F3 and F4 are out of canon. New Vegas is a true 3rd Fallout. F4 offers nice gameplay concept of power armor, but it conflicts lore.
the Bethesda so bad nowadays if they only would upgrade quality of added modded itms in game just like tesla canon have better texture of lightning or tesla bulbs on shoulders of x-02 would have electric arc it would be such sick (like in new vegas have this sort of arc). But they only just make mods with "mods quality" of texture in game....
Fallout 3 and New Vegas power armors are an abomination, simple as that. In Fallout 4 they finally captured the look and bulkiness from Fallout 1 and 2.
The fact that enclave power armor in FO3 and FNV are just like wearing normal armor Thats the only reason why FO4 has best power armor design despite being bad weapon design
They shodu increase a litlel bit the amount of time from the fisión cores and it woudl be perfect, whit the perk fusión boy it can last like 30 minuts that shoud be the standar
@@ROLITO-G-243 I find the game would be too easy if they spoon fed power armor to be useable 24/7 and thats coming from a survival difficulty player. Plus dont forget on top of the fusion boy perk there is also the bobblehead which increases fusion core duration by another 10%
I don't get why people just assume they know what Todd Howard is thinking? I guess he lives rent free in your head if people keep making petty comments like this.
Controversial opinion fallout 3 looks the best. New Vegas’s armors look too top heavy and 4’s look massive, like bro we’re normal people not frank Horagan
This really reminds me how everything in Fallout 4 looks like plastic. Why did they design everything to look like a 3D printed kids toy? Nuka dark rum looking ahh 💀
Fo3, and NV power armors look like garbage, and dont capture the feelings of bulk and power the first 2 games had for them, but was recaptured in F4. That being said the power armors in FO76 are way better.
Ok. I think I will have to explain this myself.
Let's start from the beginning.
The X-01 was a prewar prototype developed in the Withespring bunker before the Great War. After the bombs fell, Modus sended the blueprints to the Poseidon Oil Rig.
Decades later, the Enclave started to improve this power armor, manufacturing the Advanced Power Armor MKI (APA MKI).
By the time when Fallout 2 tooks place, the Enclave had developed not only the APA MKI, but its successor: the APA MKII.

What happened when Bethesda released Fallout 3? They changed the style of the APA MKII. Now, the canon APA MKII looks like the "Enclave Power Armor".
Now, pay attention:
In Fallout 2, you can clearly see that the APA MKII is better in every single way than the APA MKI.
So try to do as if all the statistics of the power armor in Fallout 3 had never existed. This is because what Bethesda did with the power armor in Fallout 3 was the biggest disaster of all the lore of Fallout series.
Several decades after the release of the APA MKII, the Enclave developed the Hellfire Power Armor, which could be called "APA MKIII". Something really important is that Lonesome Roads refers to this power armor as "Prototype X-03".
To finish this, I will make some points:
The X-01 is not the APA MKI, but the prototype used to make it.
The X-02 has never existed, but would be a very good name to refer to the APA MKII. This armor is better than the APA MKII in all ways (ignore Fallout 3, please). To confirm this, read the lab terminals of the Citadel. They say that the Enclave soldiers look almost the same as the ones seen in 2242 at the west coast. Also, you can read a tactical evaluation of Enclave forces, which says "Armor: Advanced Power Armor MKII", meaning that is the same that you can find at the Poseidon Oil Rig, the same that Dornan uses.

@@SirConfectionery bro in the canon tabletop game it explicitly called enclave power armor x-01 mk2. The only pre war variant was mk1. The only reason it’s in 4/76 is gameplay reasons. Same reason you can get a plasma infused gun or a gun that slows time, game play.
No its not. Im getting sick of this sh*t. APA is X01. Bethesda has completely bastardized the setting of Fallout. They did that to confuse people and it seems to have worked. Not on me. They can F themselves. X01 is APA, and its POST WAR FFS.
They need to add tesla armor to 76 or FO5.
Advanced Power Armor is not X-01, buddy. X-01 is a pre-war prototype model, Advanced Power Armor is a development of that.
X01 isn't remnants power armor... X01 is the prototype of remnants power armor, and the fallout 2 power armor is actually called APA Mk1 or Advanced power armor mk1.
The base model is the X-01 just that it was improved and called differently
I think it's funny how much the fallout 4 power armor version of the enclave is better than the other ones from previous ones.
stop confusing APA with X-01.
Stop confusing them for separate things. X-01 and APA are canonically one and the same.
@@KristopherPrimeX-01 was developed pre-war, APA was developed by the Enclave after the bombs had dropped, APA is just a slight upgrade
@@Angelcat710 I am well aware the APA is the X-01 upgraded post-war.
@@Angelcat710 x-01 holds the special distinction of being both pre-war and post-war. It was prototyped before the war, but upgraded by the enclave after. This detail is reinforced by the APA mk 2. In fallout 2, it was a modified version of the mark 1, until the Eastern Enclave finalized its design by fallout 3, creating the X-02 and later X-03 (aka Hellfire).
@@KristopherPrime NO. Thats Bethesda's stupidity that tried to pass it off. X01 IS STILL APA, aka ENCLAVE POWER ARMOR. people giving Bethesda a pass for really f*CKING IT UP. Its POSE WAR. ffs.
X01 is my favorite, especially in 4 just because you feel like a tank
X01 in NV:🐝 X01 in FO4:🦾👹🦾
I feel like the APA MK1/X01 and Hellfire look better on the Fallout 4 frame and the APA MK2 and Tesla Armor look best in Fallout 3, like its design was for a smaller body.
Fallout 3 & NVs power armor designs are objectively lazy. all the lore is right there, and they still look like a cosplay outfit.
Being a comically obese robot isn’t very intimidating, nor is it practical.
@@randomvideas4306 all the lore confirms that power armor is a huge bulky peice of war equipment with several issues & it's not perfect. The whole point of the armor is so American troops could carry weapons meant for tanks and light vehicles into battle against the Chinese. It's more like a peice of heavy lifting equipment, a wearable vehicle. Respect + love to you anyway bro.
@@jokujoeEvery Fallout game before 4 depicts Power Armor as heroic and muscular, not obese. Even 1 and 2, when you look closely, show PA as a moderately sized suit. You can be bulky whilst not being fat and being a big target. Additionally, the hand-to-eye coordination with the mechanical hands must be a pain, I mean other than carrying heavy weapons the suit depicted in 4 lacks versatility. When in war, you must be able to complete a variety of tasks quickly without having to exist and enter your armor.
@@randomvideas4306 i absolutely agree bro just saying imo makes no sense that in F3 and NV they look like normal costumes They dont change your height or anything, Like they dont even look like armor, it looks really bad, in my opinion. if you like them that's fine!
@@randomvideas4306by your logic tanks arent intimidating at all
It's actually pretty funny because I used to have an opinion that power armor in Fallout 3/NV is too skinny and in F4/76 it is far more too bulky and the most amazingly fitting into setting vibe so far was made in New Vegas by modders developing this aspect of the game (including more hardass/heavy movement animations to it). I hope they'll (anyone who's taking control over the ip) downgrade the scale of this armor in the future.
Anybody get reminded of like a jaguar or something with the helmet on the hellfire. Also you could’ve added Tesla stuff and enclave paint to the xo 1 from fo4
I always think of a dog when i see the hellfire helmet lmao
The X-02 in F4 looks strange, the helmet looks smaller, I like the version that the modders made
The X-01>>>>>>> Over the X-O2 imo, would've rather they just kept that, though I do appreciate the Hellfire power armor too.
I don't like the Fallout 4 adaptations of X0-2. It doesn't look like it has the same polish and re-design of X0-1. It looks like they just, kind of took fallout 3's existing one and stapled it over the frame without really re-designing it for 4.
It was made by a modder and bestheda just decided to include thier work in the base game afterwards,that's why it doesn't look as good as the others
Agreed. There’s a really good mod that adds in a far better looking X-02 into the game. The 76 model for the X-02 is also a lot better
turn on the comments on the Starfield and Skyrim comparison
Every other game: power armor(?)
Fallout 4: POWER ARMOR!
For those who dont know X01 is not APA, the older games used advanced power armor which was enclave produced armor, fallout 3s is different that 2 and new vegases because it is made in the east with cheaper resources, 2 and nvs were made on the enclave oil rig off the coast of california within the inbuilt factories upon the poseidon oil rig which was designed as a vast improvement to the X01 power armor and looked COMPLETELY different, snd the creation club x02 is not actually lore accurate as it is actuslly ravenrock Mk2 apa, aswell as x03 being adams afb hellfire power armor, i hope this lets you learn the differences.
x-01 and apa have the same design look at fallout 4s loading screen "The X-01 series of Power Armor was specially engineered and employed by remnants of the U.S. military after the Great War, and offers increased protection over the older, pre-war models." bethesda just messed up lore with nuka world yes x01 looks different than advanced power armor in fallout 2 but the t-51 also looks different than in fallout 1 its just a different art style
Bro that’s autistic. Armor looks different because it’s better graphics and art direction
@@stocky_ It pisses me off how stupid people have become. X01 IS APA, Post War Enclave Power Armor.
I know it’s similar to Fallout 4, but no Fallout 76?
They still think its a trash game
You need real money for buying that armor there, so no. Or probably can use other people footage
@@vlexonkol8466 Yes and No, atoms in Fallout 76 can be earned by completing challenges and also progressing through the season board. It’s the longer way to do it but that involves no spending of real money
X-01 and Fallout 2 and New Vegas armors aren't the same. X-01 was pre-war, while APA is an improved Power Armor made after the war
okay... why does some power armor in some games look so damn skinny???
The only question remains, why characters handling rifles with two hands when they can just handle in one hand
Ну, не сказал бы что прицеливаться винтовкой одной рукой это удобно
They do use wooden boards and sledgehammers with one hand at least.
I hate how skinny the armor is in nv and 3. But in 4 the designs are so peak
I don't think APA Mk1 is X-01, X-01 is a prototype and I think APA Mk1 is based on it.
look at the fallout 4 loading screen x01 is apa theres
@@stocky_ no, x-01 is pre war, APA is post war developed by the Enclave.
@@KeVJaZ_yet they are still the same thing, like it or not. One is the simple term while one is the formal term.
@@KristopherPrime no, X-01 is a pre war prototype, APA is post war developed by the Enclave.
@@KristopherPrime no they're not get your facts right
You should check out some Fallout 76 enclave power armor, you might be impressed!
Why is fo3 and fonv power armor so skinny
Xo1 in fo4 looks so nasty idc why it just bothers me
FNV actually has X02 n hellfire if I’m not wrong
Leftover assets from FO3
They aren’t obtainable in game, they can only be accessed with console commands
X0 2 is in fallout 2 also btw but it just refuses x0 1 sprites
Only FO4's PWs look like real power armors, the rest look like cheap cosplays.
Tesla in 4 it’s truly a shame
Right? It looks really bad.
They should have added more Tesla coils
@@Crocc101 yes and also the backpack
It is known fact that there was NO X-02 or X-03 (hellfire) power armors in fallout 4. They were as unnoficial mods and were added with a recent patch.
So for me there is still NO official good-looking "modern" enclave power armor.
They were official mods you could buy through the creation club and no they were not added to the games by a recent patch. I have no idea who told you that but it’s definitely not a known fact
Doesn't the Echoes of the Past update make them basically canon in Fallout 4 tho considering it technically officiates the content?
@@My_Most_Honest_Reaction For me F3 and F4 are out of canon. New Vegas is a true 3rd Fallout. F4 offers nice gameplay concept of power armor, but it conflicts lore.
X-01 from fallout 4 is not Enclave Power Armor
The X-02 Tesla in F4 is a mod right!
It’s in the new update
@@Average_Enclave_Soldier where can I found it?
the Bethesda so bad nowadays if they only would upgrade quality of added modded itms in game just like tesla canon have better texture of lightning or tesla bulbs on shoulders of x-02 would have electric arc it would be such sick (like in new vegas have this sort of arc). But they only just make mods with "mods quality" of texture in game....
East Coast Enclave my beloved
Fallout 3 and New Vegas power armors are an abomination, simple as that. In Fallout 4 they finally captured the look and bulkiness from Fallout 1 and 2.
The fact that enclave power armor in FO3 and FNV are just like wearing normal armor
Thats the only reason why FO4 has best power armor design despite being bad weapon design
They shodu increase a litlel bit the amount of time from the fisión cores and it woudl be perfect, whit the perk fusión boy it can last like 30 minuts that shoud be the standar
@@ROLITO-G-243 I find the game would be too easy if they spoon fed power armor to be useable 24/7 and thats coming from a survival difficulty player. Plus dont forget on top of the fusion boy perk there is also the bobblehead which increases fusion core duration by another 10%
where is fo76?
Fallout 4 have the best power armors
where are these power armors ?
Fallout 3 is my favorite fallout ❤
X01 armour isn't the same as the armour from FO2 and New Vegas
I actually hated how power armour looked in new vegas and 3 bc it just looks like armour not some awesome suit
The X-02 looks so dumb in fallout 4 lol
where is t-60 tesla power armor?
? t-60 only exists on fo4
Not enclave
You can't read well can you.
The fact is Todd Howard would've never added if Obsidian didn't aknowledge Enclave's power armor existence in Fallout 2.
I don't get why people just assume they know what Todd Howard is thinking? I guess he lives rent free in your head if people keep making petty comments like this.
I must admit Fallout 3/New Vegas power armour sucks they just don't have the bulk or weight of what powered armour really is.
F4 X02 doesn't look that good. Mods did that armour justice.
Unoctium one x02 frigging dope... It has the cyro upgrade.
Yeah the mods for X-02 make it look INSANELY scary. Def worthy of being beyond the APA
unoctium, newermind's recreation from 76, cipher arguably having the best one of them
however the one in the game is incredibly nice as well
X 01 will always look better than X 02
X-01 my favorite power armor❤👍
New Vegas is the best IMO
X02 top
Controversial opinion fallout 3 looks the best.
New Vegas’s armors look too top heavy and 4’s look massive, like bro we’re normal people not frank Horagan
3 and newegas power armour sucks it’s too skinny and is just a normal suit
Still, TOTNW is the best.
This really reminds me how everything in Fallout 4 looks like plastic. Why did they design everything to look like a 3D printed kids toy? Nuka dark rum looking ahh 💀
The X-02 looks bad, lame. The mod that existed already was a perfect adaptation.
Fo3, and NV power armors look like garbage, and dont capture the feelings of bulk and power the first 2 games had for them, but was recaptured in F4.
That being said the power armors in FO76 are way better.
Fallout 4 def got some thicc boys
The Enclave power armor mark 2 is always be my favorite🔥🔥
>X-01
>Fallout 2
That is not X-01 in Fallout 2😅
That’s Advanced Power Armor mk1
Fun fact:You can have X-02 power armor by downloading the premium version of Fallout new vegas.
Fallout 76 x-02 look better than fallout 4.
F4 X-02 looks terrible
everyone complaining about fallout 4 power armor when the fallout 3 and new vegas ones look goofy as hell
X-01 IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ADVANCED POWER ARMOR.
I dunno, fallout 4 version looks kind of bland to me tbh
It may look bland, but at least it's not ugly like in New Vegas.
