I can build a flaming sword hand for my robots now, but I can't have one on my power armor.


Where's the power armor versions of these new upgrades?


Let me build a big old mace hand for my power armor for punching everything.


I would also like a Power armor Minigun hand or laser arm.



Unarmed VATS attacks also bug out like a mutha while in power armor. It seems like they refuse let you use VATS crits.



I was going to try some of the Mods people made for fixing the unarmed attacks and weapons for power armor, but they warned that they're very buggy.

I would assume its partly because its not the main focus of the DLC, partly because I can't imagen they couldn't make such mods work and not have akward clipping issues, especially since clearly you're suppose to always be able to hold two handed melee weapons or guns while in a PA.

Good luck hacking a computer / picking a lock / picking up pretty much anything when your arm is a flaming sword :wink_smile:

Power armor is just armor that surrounds your hand. You can't take off your hand like a robot can. Well you could but I expect that would hurt a lot.

The Robots handle it fine.

Doesn't the PA wearer actually grip a control handle in the forearm of the power armor? That's how the animation appears to me, anyway.



Note: I have seen my character occasionally mime cracking his knuckles while in PA, but I don't know if he's just doing something for lols, or if that means there are actual hands within those gauntlets.

How about a Stealthblade that folds back on the armor when you aren't using it?


How about giving the Power Armor fists some retractable claws or a big ol' Robocop spike?


Give me that fist from that fight scene between the Hulk and Ironman in Hulkbuster armor. You know "...go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep!"



They really do need to fix the punching animation for wearing power armor though. All you do is swing one arm, then swing the next. Where's all those cool as hell wrestling moves and neck snaps that I did when I wasn't wearing power Armor? I want to see some axehandle smash moves! The only thing you get is an uppercut when you use power attack. It would be awesome to see a finisher where you Pop someone's head like the Mountain did to the Viper.
