Ejected cores land a short distance behind the user where they act as a sort of timed mine with a destructive force similar to that of a Fat Man's projectile. Also combining with the Repair bobblehead, the total amount of shots can be raised to 1100.įusion cores can also be ejected from power armor suits if one has the highest level Nuclear Physicist perk and no other explosive devices are currently equipped.
Nuclear Physicist can increase the number of shots per core up to 1000, but the magazine capacity will remain at 500. The Gatling laser utilizes fusion cores as its ammunition, each core providing 500 shots. Instead of increasing the maximum charge percentage, these will slow the rate at which the charge level drains. Fusion core lifespan can be extended by 10% by collecting the Repair bobblehead, and by up to 100% by investing points in the Nuclear Physicist perk. While the Sole Survivor can utilize power armor without a fusion core, they will be unable to move at a pace greater than a slow walk (similar to being overencumbered) and actions requiring AP will be restricted.įusion core lifespan is represented as a percentage. Actions based on Action Points (AP) usage, such as holding breath when using scoped weapons, sprinting, utilizing V.A.T.S., or jet pack modules causes the power to drain much faster, whereas walking consumes less power and remaining stationary drains none. Each core provides roughly 20 minutes real time (or approximately 10 hours game time) of power armor use when jogging (default pace). Characteristicsįusion cores are used to power and activate suits of power armor. Īnother benefit is that cores can be set to overload, for use as improvised explosives or to deny a power armor suit to the enemy by destroying it.
The fusion core also can be hooked up to certain melee weapons via jumper cables. Standard core interfaces were developed across the board to allow for power armor frames to use cores salvaged from weapons or generators. Used by civilians to power a multitude of devices, from automobiles, to generators, the military instead used them for warfare, supplying power armor and some Gatling laser models with energy. Standardized fusion cores are a high-grade, long-term nuclear battery used for military and commercial applications before the Great War.
