How to get Trashcan Carla out of my power armor?

Published May 07, 2026
Sanctuary got attacked by raiders. When it was finished Trashcan Carla was in my best power armor. I always leave my PA without a core in them, but she still got in it. So I can't pickpocket the core, because there is none in it! Guess it's a bug or did something change and can some people use the power armor without core? Luckily I had a recent savefile, but how to solve it when it happens again. Talking to her does not work, no option to make her leave it like with settlers and followers.

How to get the trash out of the can, you mean? There's at least one option: Bunker Hill.
Random caravans will stop there from time to time - Trashcan Carla's included.
She's an educated person and will leave her armor before talking to her clients.
It's not exactly easy to find her there, though - I had to pay several visits (waiting didn't work for me).
You could just kill her and take it from her corpse. Not really any reason to keep her alive shes an unimportant npc.
3Well you can always kill her and loot the armor off of her, since it's not that hard to find another frame. The alternative is fast traveling away and then fast traveling back I've heard that works.You could also try to put a fusion core in then go into Vats and shoot it I've heard rumours the suit can sustain the explosion. I was also thinking maybe you could trade with them take the power armor leave the frame. Since there's so many Power Armor Frames everyhwere.
have you tried talking to her and asking her to get out of the power armor. It took me a while to work out how to get nick out of a set i had lying around, however i had asked him to get into the power armor in the first place.
1Try and pickpocket the fusion core off of her then she will jump out
