Portable fission reactors are advanced power generating modules for modular armor, power armor, power armor MK2 and the spidertron. They generate 750kW of power, equivalent to 25 portable solar panels, while taking up only a 4×4 area in the equipment grid.

Portable fission reactors are an unlimited source of energy and require nothing to power them.

Portable fission reactors are essential items for power armor and power armor MK2, as running the many other modules in these armors would take far too many solar panels to be practical.

History

  • 2.0.7:
    • Introduced.
      • Functionally a replacement for the portable fusion reactor, after receiving a significant buff to power generation.
      • All portable fusion reactors crafted before 2.0.7 have been turned into portable fission reactors.
