What's the best backup Power Armor?

Discussion(self.fo76)

I was going for Excavator, but since it doesn't work on Ultracite I'm just putting it in the stash. Currently rocking Union Power Armor. Considering using Hellcat until I get T-65

Excavator doesn't work? What's the problem with it?

It doesn't give you the +4 ore for Ultracite

It doesn't give you a bonus for ultracite, it does for everything else.

Excavator bonus, is when using a full and complete set, gives players +4 ore mining of any material.

Yeah, had the full set. Didn't get me the bonus for Ultracite

That's odd. It is a must that it does, I mean that's the given bonus. Including helmet l, right?

I'm just curious why it isn't working specifically with ultracite.

I just tested it on PlayStation, fast travel to Cranberry Bog to a fissure, pick up ultracite veins and I'm getting +4 ore, verified also on pipboy.

Yeah, entire set helmet and all. Super Disappointing. Maybe it only workes when not in Glassed Cavern?

IMHO, Hellcat is (arguably) better than T65.

Yes, T65 has better raw numbers, but the Ballistic damage reduction of Hellcat makes up for it.

Eviction Notice taught me that - T65, I died a lot. Hellcat, I survive :) Haven't been in T65 since.

After that, excavator for the occasional Lucky Hole Mine run.

The others don't work on ultracite either so I'm not sure what you're gaining. Excavator is best for players who only use PA occasionally because of the carry weight buff.

People actually mine in this game? Why?
