The X-01 Power Armor in Fallout 76 is a prototype armor set developed by the remnants of the U.S. military after the Great War. It's renowned for its well-rounded attributes, offering decent Energy, Radiation, and Damage Resistance. This armor is commonly used by members of the Enclave, Brotherhood of Steel, and the Institute.
This guide covers everything you need to know to craft an X-01 Power Armor set in Fallout 76, including how to obtain its plans.
Is X-01 the best Power Armor in Fallout 76?
The X-01 is not regarded as the best Power Armor in Fallout 76. The Hellcat, Union, and Excavator Power Armor are considered superior due to their respective bonuses, such as ballistic damage reduction, poison resistance, and increased carry weight.
However, the X-01 Power Armor in Fallout 76 is still a solid choice for all endgame scenarios. It's easy to acquire and performs on par with other Power Armors.
Fallout 76 X-01 Power Armor location: How to join the Enclave
Finding and joining the Enclave
To obtain the plans for the X-01 Power Armor in Fallout 76, first join the Enclave, a prominent military faction in the game. To join their ranks, travel to the Abandoned Waste Dump on the eastern fringes of the map and complete the Bunker Buster and One of Us quests.
Both quests are integral to the main storyline. So, if you continue progressing through the main questline, you will inevitably become a member of the Enclave.
How to get the Prototype Power Armor schematic
Once you become a member of the Enclave, you'll need to achieve the rank of General. This is crucial because only a General has access to the Armory wing, where the schematics for the X-01 Power Armor are stored.
To attain the rank of General, earn 10 commendations by completing various challenges such as defeating Legendary creatures, finishing Extermination Operations, Robot Patrol missions, and Resource Drop tasks. This is part of the Officer on Deck main story quest, which in turn necessitates the completion of the Back to Basic side quest at Camp McClintock in Fallout 76.
Once you attain the rank of General, proceed to the Enclave headquarters near the Whitespring resort and access the Armory wing. Here, activate the Archival Terminal and obtain the X-01 Power Armor plans by executing the following commands:
- [Schematic Archetypes]
- [Prototype Power Armor Schematic]
