Where to buy Power Armor Plans? Fallout 76

Power Armor plans are quite sought after. It's not surprising: crafting high-end power armor sets is a great advantage and any player would benefit from it. But, unlike many other plans, the power armor ones don't seem to be often sold by NPC vendors. Can they even be bought? Or is it just grinding that can bring you one? And if they can be purchased, which ones can you get and where? Learn it all right below!

Yes, you can. It's not the most widely sold kind of item but there are certain vendors that offer power armor plans. We're not talking about mod plans: there are plenty of those out there, sold by several well known merchants in specific locations. Those are things that you're going to need at your power armor station – we're not going to discuss them here. We're talking only about Power Armor plans.

However, only 2 such sets have plans sold by NPCs. The rest are obtained in some other way. Here's a table that will make it a bit more clear:

POWER ARMOR	CAN BE BOUGHT?	INFO
Excavator	❌ No	The set is directly obtained during the Miner Miracles quest's completion
Hellcat	❌ No	The set is directly obtained during  the Catalyst quest's completion
Raider	❌ No	Plans obtained through containers, treasure maps, quests, and seasonal content
Strangler Heart	✅ Yes	Plans sold by Regs in Vault 79
T-45	❌ No	Plans obtained through containers, treasure maps, quests, and seasonal content
T-51b	❌ No	Plans obtained through containers, treasure maps, quests, and seasonal content
T-60	❌ No	Plans obtained through containers, treasure maps, quests, and seasonal content
T-65	✅ Yes	Plans sold by Regs in Vault 79
Ultracite	❌ No	Plans obtained through quests and enemy loot

Now let's talk more about those 2 buyable sets.

Alternatively, you can buy them from Minevra at a better price but it will take you more time. If you haven't met her yet, you should know that it's a gold bullion vendor who changes her location weekly as well as her catalog. She offers great prices (25% less than Regs) but you never know what she's going to sell next week. So if you want to get the full power armor set ASAP, she won't be your best option. However, it still will make sense to check out her current lots to see if you can get at least one piece of the set cheaper.

Here are the prices for all the Strangler Heart plans:

PLAN	REGS' PRICE	MINERVA'S PRICE
Helmet	1'650 gold bullions	1'237 gold pullions
Left Arm	1'000 gold bullions	750 gold bullions
Left Leg	1'000 gold bullions	750 gold bullions
Right Arm	1'000 gold bullions	750 gold bullions
Right Leg	1'000 gold bullions	750 gold bullions
Torso	1'250 gold bullions	937 gold bullions

As with every other power armor set, there's a plethora of modifications of all sorts for all of its pieces. Plans for them are also sold by vendors but that's a whole different story and we'll stick only to plans for power armor here.

You get access to this currency only after completion of the Wastelanders main questline. Then your character becomes eligible for earning bullions and you can do so by doing these things:

So that's basically everything you need to know about purchasable power armor plans. There are many great things you can invest gold bullions in but these 2 sets are truly among the best ones!
