    Oh man. Motty, Amornar, Noodles... this is good stuff. I might have to play all three of these lol. This community always comes through!

    Does there happen to be a build based on stealing enemy power armor and using it to blast opponents apart? Like something with pickpocket, a weapon-type perk or two, demolitions (for building grenades to tuck into pockets), Armorer (for enhancing and customizing the eventual fleet of power armor), nuclear physicist, and sneak?

    Nothing that comes to mind - sounds like you're ready to build Mercurias!

    Oh lord I'm still plonking the idea around in my head. I have no idea if it's even feasible, or where you would want to put perk points and stats to make that kind of thing effective. It's two very different styles of play, after all.

    What do you actually want to do? Steal power armor...as in sneak in to places with known spawns...jump into the suit and start wrecking? Or are you talking about sneaking up behind a power armor wearing boss and pickpocketing his power armor? I don't even know if that's possible but sounds like fun trying :D

    I know that if you shoot out the fusion core, if the guy in the armor doesn't have any more in his inventory he will get out. So maybe that will work.

    I know you can pickpocket a fusion core, which makes enemies have to climb out of it, and thus you get to steal it by jamming the core back into the armor and climbing in. I thought it would be fun to follow up that kind of sneaky theft with something fun, like pulling out an automatic weapon and opening fire now that you're all armored up. The hard part I've found is how to make it work in a build that doesn't skyrocket to level 80. I prefer my builds to be playable and make sense out of the gate.

    I haven't played FO4 yet, but my New Vegas builds can be used in it, with a few tweaks.

    Aye this is a rather late response so I apologize, but my WIP build heavily uses pickpocket to plant bombs and I always Steal Fusion cores out of guys so their power armor can't protect them from the Bottlecap Mine that I slipped into their pockets XD Maybe not exactly what you're looking for because I don't necessarily use the power armor, but it's a start!

    Hey, is there a build for fallout 4 that focuses exploration and doesn't use too many weapons. I've played fallout for a while and I'm looking for a new way to play it
