Old Post Raiders and power armor?

[Choochoo1]

So this may be a vanilla thing, I can't assign my raider recruits to power armor, which I wanted because they are kind of weak. is this vanilla and is there a way around this?

Yeah, totally agree with the 'raiders being weak part' it is very difficult to get a big army because they keep dying. And I really want to know this too. I think btw that is a vannilla thing cause the raiders are literally settlers with other dialogue lines but you can only trade with them. The only way to get them to enter a power armor is to let them get attacked and have a power armor nearby fully equipped and with fusion core, but it's still a very slight chance the raider recruit (or settler) is getting in. He/She mostly run away or start headbanging/attacking the enemies...

Settlers/Raider will sometimes use Power Armor on their own if there is a fusion core left in one, usually during combat. They will also get out of it on their own, especially when they want to sleep. There may be mods that tell settlers to use PA.

Your raiders will level up as you level up, in tiers. I believe you get upgraded raiders at your lvl 10, and so forth. It will be hard to level up if you only do things with Jammer. Go out and explore, raid other raider camps, get yourself leveled up and those raiders will soon be stronger than the average for sure. My lvl 30-ish, I had some spawn that were legendary.

I left a suit a of power armor out in a settlement that a raider jumped into during a settlement attack. He must have jumped out of it after the attack but he kept the helmet for some reason and I can't figure out which Raider has it now.
