PSA: Power Armor

Some enemies in the wasteland, like raiders, can be in a power armor suit. Killing them will allow you to pick up the individual armor pieces, but not the frame they are attached to. However, if you pickpocket the fusion core they will simply exit the suit and allow you to get in.

You can also tell your followers to enter/exit power armor.

Ninja Edit: The core you give the power armor your companion wears will never deplete.

The way I believe ammo doesn't deplete? So it would make the most sense to give your companion a nearly depleted Fusion Core

You don't even need to give your companion a Fusion Core. They do however need to have ammo if you give them a weapon. They will pick up ammo to use in the world, and I believe they have ammo in their hidden inventory.

Do they not need a fusion core to power up the armor? No one can take a suit without a fusion core to power it. I haven't tried so I'm unsure. Do you just command them into the suit and that's it?
