How To Repair Armor In Fallout 4

Armor maintenance is an important aspect of survival in Fallout 4, but the good news is that the game simplifies this mechanic compared to previous entries in the series. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about repairing armor, including the key differences between player armor and power armor durability.

Understanding Armor Durability in Fallout 4

One of the first things you should know about Fallout 4 is that player armor—the regular clothing and armor pieces you equip on your character—does not have any durability mechanics. Unlike previous Fallout games where armor would degrade over time and require regular maintenance, your player armor will remain in perfect condition indefinitely. This means you don’t need to worry about your gear degrading during combat or exploration.

Power Armor Repair Requirements

Power armor, however, is different. Power armor suits do have durability and will require maintenance to keep functioning at peak performance. To repair power armor, you’ll need to access a Power Armor Station, which can typically be found in settlement workshops or other designated crafting areas.

Step-by-Step Power Armor Repair Process

Start by placing your power armor inside the Power Armor Station. Once you’ve done this, you’ll be able to interact with the station and inspect the health status of each individual limb on your suit.

When you access the Power Armor Station, you’ll see a detailed breakdown of all your armor pieces and their current condition. If any limb shows damage or wear, simply select that limb and press the repair button. On keyboard, this is the T key.

After pressing repair, you’ll spend a small amount of materials from your inventory to fully restore that limb to perfect condition. You can repeat this process for any damaged limbs until your entire power armor suit is fully repaired and ready for action.

Summary

Repairing armor in Fallout 4 is straightforward: your regular player armor never degrades, so you don’t need to maintain it. Power armor, on the other hand, requires periodic repairs at a Power Armor Station by spending materials. Simply inspect each limb, press the repair button (T on keyboard), and spend a small amount of materials to keep your power armor in top condition.
