Now, only the most technologically advanced factions with ties to the pre-Great War American military or federal government, such as the Brotherhood of Steel or the Enclave, have access to this type of power armor.
Note: After the first lockpick attempt all nearby Brotherhood members turn hostile. Senior Paladins and Senior Scribes do not come out the storeroom, so the second attempt is impossible (when closing in on the door, battle starts).
