Fallout 4 power armor locations

Power armor has to be found on the world map in order to upgrade the player's power armor suit. While it may appear otherwise, there are very few "guaranteed" spawns - most of the time, the player will find a power armor frame with randomly generated, level-dependent pieces present. 
==Spawning rules==
Which pieces spawn is determined by:
# Player character level
# The level of the cell. 
In general, T-60 and X-01 power armor spawns are limited to cells which have a high minimum difficulty level set (such as the South Boston military checkpoint, which has a 25-30 cell level) and the level, according to the following table:
Character level 	1-10 	10-18 	18-27 	28+
Power armor model spawning	T-45 Power Armor	T-51 Power Armor	T-60 Power Armor	X-01 Power Armor
Note that entering a cell that contains a spawning power armor will lock that cell to that level, making it impossible to get a higher level armor. The safest way is to either reload or hold off exploring the high threat areas until reaching level 28.
==Partial power armor spawns==
All of these locations will produce armor with just a couple of pieces present.

Alternatively, the armor can by purchased from Rowdy (expensive). Killing the Atom Cats will preclude purchasing their custom T-60 paint job.	 	T-60 power armor. the armor lacks a helmet.
