Fallout – do with stripped Power Armour Frames

fallout-4

So, I'm a kleptomaniac when it comes to playing games like Fallout 4, which includes Power Armour suits. Usually if I find a suit with better stuff than the one I have back at my base I take it home with me so I can strip it down and upgrade my main suit of armour… only… one problem…

I have too many of the suckers

So… What can I do to get rid of them? Is there a vendor that buys Power Armour Frames?

I don't believe there's a way to sell your frames. I certainly haven't encountered any, and the fact that the frame doesn't show up in your inventory makes me pretty confident that I won't find any.

You can get out of power armor underwater, so you can just walk the frames into a river if you want to get rid of them. Alternatively just leave them somewhere. Fast traveling does not drain fusion cores. They'll eventually disappear if you leave them outside of a settlement.

If someone puts them on and you kill them, the frame is not lootable from the corpse, so I guess that would get rid of them.

If you decide not to get rid of them, they aren't completely useless. You can save one for any human or synth companion you take with you.

Settlers will get into a vacant frame if they're being attacked and it has a core, so you could leave equipped frames at your settlements to help your settlers with defense. It's plausible you could order specific settlers to enter them from the workshop menu, but comments indicate that this has not worked out in tests.

You could also outfit different ones for different scenarios, but that's probably not a great use of your time, as it's easy enough to just swap the parts on the frame you normally use.
