I’m really struggling with stagger while playing PA (Power Armor). Between getting hit by snakes, my Gatling plasma not loading in time, running out of ammo on the tail, and stims not activating correctly, it feels like stagger is my biggest enemy. Are there any effective ways to minimize stagger in Power Armor?

For those not in Power Armor, adding a pneumatic mod to the torso can reduce stagger by 25%. Unfortunately, I’m not sure if there’s anything similar that works with Power Armor right now.
If you’re playing in first-person view, you can actually reduce stagger that way! I didn’t know that, but it seems like a good reason to try switching from third-person, especially since I use it to avoid poison.
You could also consider the Adamantium Skeleton perk. It doesn’t eliminate stagger completely, but it helps a bit. Also, I’m waiting to get a ghoul card that should prevent staggering—might be worth it to switch up your build for that!
Does the ghoul card still work while in PA? That’s good to know!
