With power armor you become the ultimate wasteland warrior and benefit from numerous advantages. The armor is powered by fusion cores, which you should always look out for in the game world. We'll tell you the locations of power armor and fusion cores in Fallout 4 and explain how you can repair and remove them.
Find, repair and remove power armor
Power armor makes you a little slower on foot, but you benefit from high damage and radiation resistance and can also carry more. You get your first T-45 power armor relatively early in the game. You can also find more in many other places in the wasteland. Please note the following tips:

Then you should definitely take out the fusion core. You don't leave your ignition key in the car either. Also on the airship you can discover an Enclave helmet on the counter behind the dealer.

Locations of all power armor and fusion cores
Below we will show you the locations of power armor and fusion cores, which you can find relatively early in the game and without any difficulty. Please note that what kind of power armor you find in the respective locations depends on your player level. This is from the versions T-45 to X-01 everything your heart desires.
The X-01 is one of the most advanced series of power armor. You can find them in the high-rise building at 35 Court. However, you must have a high level of 28 or more, as this increases the chances that you will actually find an X-01.
35 Court is not directly on the map, but is located just west of Custom House Tower in east central Boston. After entering, you have to take the elevator all the way up. A guard bot and an agressortron await you here, so be careful! You then have to press the red button on each side of the room before the chamber with the X-01 in the middle opens. You can see the exact location again in the following video:
