Fallout 76
In Fallout 76, having a Power Armor Station is crucial for modifying and repairing your Power Armor, which is essential for survival in the game's unforgiving world. There are two primary ways to obtain the plans for a Power Armor Station: completing a specific quest or purchasing them from vendors. Here's a detailed guide on how to get these plans.
Completing the Quest: Miner Miracles
Location: Garrahan Mining HQ
Quest: Miner Miracles
Reward: Power Armor Station Plans and Excavator Power Armor
To obtain the Power Armor Station plans through questing, you need to complete the "Miner Miracles" quest. This quest is located at the Garrahan Mining HQ in the Ash Heap region. The quest becomes available once you reach level 25, making it accessible to players who have progressed sufficiently in the game.
Start the Quest:
Begin by heading to the parking lot of Garrahan Mining Headquarters and investigate the "Garrahan excavator" poster. This will trigger a miscellaneous objective in your Pip-Boy's quest log.
Enter the building and access the terminal at the receptionist’s desk. Read the entry "Memo: Excavator Queries" to progress through the rest of the quest.
Complete the Quest:
Follow the quest objectives to unlock the plans for the Power Armor Station. Completing this quest not only rewards you with the station plans but also provides you with the Excavator Power Armor, which offers additional benefits like increased carry weight and enhanced mining capabilities.
Purchasing from Vendors
If you prefer not to complete the quest or need the plans immediately, you can purchase them from several vendors across the map.
Vendors:
Vendor Bot Phoenix: Located at Watoga Shopping Plaza.
MODUS Production Terminal: Inside The Whitespring Bunker. Access to the bunker requires completing the main quest "Bunker Buster."
Brotherhood Vendor Bot: Inside The Whitespring Mall.
Cost: The base price for the Power Armor Station plans is 1050 caps. However, if you have the "Hard Bargain" perk, you can reduce the price to around 920 caps.
Additionally, having access to a variety of Fallout 76 items, such as diverse Power Armor pieces and modifications, becomes much more manageable with a Power Armor Station. This station allows you to optimize your Power Armor's capabilities by modifying and repairing it, ensuring you're always well-equipped to face the challenges of the game's harsh environment.
Crafting the Power Armor Station
Once you have the plans, you can craft the Power Armor Station using the following materials:
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Aluminum | 12 |
| Circuitry | 3 |
| Oil | 4 |
| Fiberglass | 6 |
| Plastic | 4 |
| Gears | 6 |
| Screws | 4 |
You can build the station at either your Workshop or C.A.M.P. After placing the station, you can use it to modify or repair different types of Power Armor in the game.
Conclusion
Acquiring the Power Armor Station plans in Fallout 76 is a crucial step for any player looking to enhance their Power Armor capabilities. Whether you choose to complete the "Miner Miracles" quest or purchase the plans from vendors, having a Power Armor Station at your disposal will significantly improve your gameplay experience.
