The BOS elder paint, BOS sentinel paint, BOS paladin paint, and BOS knight paint are paint schemes exclusive to power armor in Fallout 4.
Characteristics[]
A paint scheme with a metal base and the Brotherhood of Steel logo on the chest. All BOS paint schemes are normally only available for the T-60 power armor (textures for the X-01 exist in the files but are not accessible).
The only differences between each paint job are the form of the rank insignia on the lower left arm, with the changes between knight-captain and paladin being more noticeable. The accents of the armor take on a reddish-orange color from dull white and the outermost part darkens slightly.

With the addition of the "Captain Cosmos" Creation Club content, the paladin paint can also be added to the CC-00 power armor but does not add any weight. It requires oil x2 and steel x2 per piece painted.

Effects[]
When all parts of the power armor are painted with a paint scheme that boosts Strength, the armor provides a +1 bonus to Strength. The pieces don't need to be all BOS types. military paint will work as well.
Acquisition[]
Initiate paint scheme[]
The initiate power armor paint can only be obtained as a random mod on the pieces that spawn on the power frame found at the Morton residence in the Nuka-World add-on. Uses the prefix "BOS I."
Knight paint scheme[]
Once the Sole Survivor has been granted the rank of knight by completing Shadow of Steel, the paint scheme is available for crafting at power armor stations. A fully painted set of T-60b power armor will also be available aboard The Prydwen at the same time. Uses the prefix "BOS II."
Knight sergeant paint scheme[]
The knight sergeant power armor paint scheme is unique and is only found on Knight Sergeant Gavil during Airship Down or Rockets' Red Glare. Uses the prefix "BOS III."
Knight captain paint scheme[]
The knight captain power armor paint scheme is unique and is only found on Knight-Captain Larsen during Search and Destroy in the Fallout 4 Far Harbor add-on. It can be obtained by shooting out or pickpocketing his fusion core, then stealing his armor before talking to him. Uses the prefix "BOS IV."
- If the Sole Survivor begins the attack on Acadia before obtaining the armor it will become unobtainable.
Paladin paint scheme[]
Once the Sole Survivor has been granted the rank of paladin by completing Blind Betrayal, the paint scheme is available for crafting at power armor stations. Uses the prefix "BOS V."
- Killing Paladin Danse at the Cambridge Police Station won't allow the player character to loot the armor pieces from his body, as the pieces won't be present on his body.
- Killing Paladin Brandis during Precipice of War at Old North Church after having convinced him to return to the Brotherhood of Steel during The Lost Patrol allows the player character to loot his paladin armor pieces.
Sentinel paint scheme[]
Once the Sole Survivor has been granted the rank of sentinel by completing The Nuclear Option (Brotherhood of Steel) followed by A New Dawn, the paint scheme is available for crafting at power armor stations. Uses the prefix "BOS VI."
Elder paint scheme[]
The BOS elder paint cannot be applied by the Sole Survivor on power armor. The only occurrence of the paint scheme in the base game is on Arthur Maxson's power armor worn during Airship Down. However, it may also rarely spawn on the power armor frame at the Morton residence in the Nuka-World add-on. Uses the prefix "BOS VII."
Notes[]
- The following console commands can be used to make the paint schemes available without doing any of the required quests:
- set bospaintjobknight to 1 for the knight paint scheme.
- set bospaintjobpaladin to 1 for the paladin paint scheme.
- set bospaintjobsentinel to 1 for the sentinel paint scheme.
- The existence of an "initiate" paint scheme for T-60 power armor seems to contradict Lancer-Captain Kells' claim that initiates are not authorized to use Brotherhood power armor.[1]
- Certain Creation Club items such as the CR-74L can be equipped with the BoS paint scheme without purchasing the paint scheme bundle required for base game items. However, some Creation Club items have gameplay requirements that need to be met for the paint to be created, namely that the Brotherhood must be joined. This mainly pertains to certain items such as the cosmic cannon, CC-00 power armor, and Hellfire power armor.
- The initiate paint can spawn on the power armor frame located inside the QASmoke test cell.
