In Fallout 4 you can upgrade power armor (both Brotherhood of Steel and Enclave) with various mods, and these are the best ones.One of the aspects that differentiates Fallout 4 from previous games in the series is the importance of power armor. While in other titles it is considered a unique and almost legendary outfit, in the latest installment we get one at the beginning of the adventure.
