What do I do with extra power armor frames?
If you’re wondering what to do with extra power armor frames, the answer is simple: you can either store them, sell them, or reuse them for other purposes, such as commanding a companion to wear one or leaving it in a settlement for inhabitants to use in case of an attack. Storing them is highly recommended, as each individual power armor piece can weigh more than the frame itself, and storing the frame with the pieces equipped can save a significant amount of space in your stashbox or inventory.
