Fixes and Improvements

• Union Power Armor should now be craftable by players who have the recipe

Dev Note: PTS Players, we would like your assistance in testing our latest fix for the Union Power Armor crafting topic.

The armor should now be craftable for those who have bought and learned the recipe from Giuseppe. Please note that due to technical limitations, players who earned the armor plans from Season 10 will not be able to craft it on PTS.

When in the test server, you should see the recipes available from Giuseppe if you have not already learned them. After they are purchased, they will no longer be available. Additionally, the armor will no longer drop as loot, but they can be found via the random Power Armor Purchases from Murmrgh at The Rusty Pick. You should expect to only see Union Power Armor Pieces that you know how to craft drop from Purveyor’s Mystery Picks.

Union Power Armor pieces will still have the Atomic Symbol on them and cannot be traded or dropped by players once they have been obtained.
