Has a death claw chewed through the arm of your favorite power suit and you don't know what to do to restore that shiny new armor smell? Look no further, Here are four easy steps on how to fix that suit up like new and get back into the fray in no time!
Step 1) Find yourself a power armor station.
This is the easy part. If you have the Sanctuary settlement set up, then it starts out with one, as does the Red Rocket garage and many other settlements throughout the game.
Step 2) Step up to the power station while wearing your broken down armor.
You'll get a prompt on screen to enter into the crafting menu. It will be grayed out but if you hit that button it will let you hop out of the armor with it close enough to be worked on. Select the crafting station again and you'll get to work on it.
Step 3) Find the parts of your power armor in need of repairs.
Each will display a health bar on the left to indicate how damaged each individual part is. Once you've highlighted the part in need, hit the repair option to bring up a new screen which will show you what components are needed to fix this piece.
Step 4) Find the resources needed.
This can be the most fun step of all. All those bits and bobs you've been hoarding all game? Well some of it might just end up being useful here. (You have turned into a hoarder by playing this right? It's not just me?) You can also scrap the things laying around the settlement to get some of the parts if you need to. Make sure you have the required parts in your inventory, or in the inventory of the workbench of the settlement the power armor repair station is located in, and go ahead and hit that repair option. Once you've done this you're power armor suit will be back to new and those resources will be removed from your inventory. It depends on what kind of power armor you are repairing as to what parts you will need, but almost all of them will require steel as a starting point, so keep that in mind here.
Once the repairs are all done you can hop back into your personal power armor and get back to stomping super mutants with the best of them. See you all out in the Wasteland!
