Wondering how to exit Power Armor in Fallout 4? Power armor is an external armor that boosts your defensive stats. Learn how to exit it easily.
Power armor is a multi-component armor unit consisting of a base frame with various armor pieces mounted on it to make it an unstoppable mechanized power. It is an extremely powerful tool. Power armor runs on “Fusion Cores,” which can be found throughout the wasteland.
Fusion Core is a rare item in Fallout 4. If you have run out of fusion cores and do not have any even in your character’s inventory. The power armor is no longer useful. You also can not craft fusion cores at a workbench no matter how high your S.P.E.C.I.A.L is; the best way to find a fusion core is to hop out of your power armor and search the wasteland.
You can exit from your power armor by pressing and holding the A button if you are playing on Xbox, X on PlayStation, and E if you are playing with keyboard and mouse. If you have changed the control scheme in settings, then press and hold the button that specific button to exit the power armor.
Why Do You Need To Exit Your Character From Power Armor?
While in power armor, the player character is incapable of swimming. Instead, your character would be walking across the bed of any given body of water. You cannot use any workbench to craft items if you are in power armor. So, you will have to exit your character from power armor to perform certain tasks.
Once the fusion core is drained, your character will still be able to walk slowly in the armor but will be over-encumbered and unable to use V.A.T.S. or hold breath when aiming with scopes. It is better to exit the power armor to find a fusion core as you would move faster than in power armor with no fusion core.

Power armor completely negates all fall damage, with or without any pieces of armor attached, enabling the wearer to fall without any harm to either health or the armor itself. While wearing a power armor suit, damage is mitigated, and players are less vulnerable to radiation as well as you carry capacity increases.
Each model of power armor, except the raider power armor, can be modified with a unique paint scheme. There are various paint schemes that can be obtained by progressing in the main questline.
