Also will have you a full set of excavator power armor that you can wear (lvl 25 min) that is part of a quest I am about to finish. Now you can play in style. It does not have the resistance of a T-51 but will be better than running naked through the marsh sucking up rads. The main benefit for me is once you complete the quest you get a PLAN: Power Armor Workbench. The only other way to get a Plan for the PA Workbench is to find a vendor that sells it for 1000 CAPS, which I never have.
