You'll need to take on the Miner Miracles quest, for which level 25 is recommended, and the lowest-level Excavator Power Armor set Fallout 76 offers to craft is level 25.

During the Miner Miracles quest, you'll be able to access a terminal in the Garrahan Mining Headquarters, deep within the R&D section.

There are some hackable terminals to unlock near the Garrahan Estate if you have time to take a quick detour.

Once on the terminal, you can browse through the options, and you'll find one that allows you to download the full schematics for the Excavator Power Armor set.

You can only craft the Excavator Power Armor at a Power Armor Station, and now all you need are the requisite materials.

The Excavator Power Armor in Fallout 76 has four unique effects that make it worth crafting in:

  1. Gain four times as much yield from mining materials.
  2. +100 Carry Weight.
  3. 42 percent total damage reduction (DR).
  4. 90 percent Reduced Radiation taken.

Ultracite Ore and Uranium Ore are not affected by the Excavator Power Armor effect, so you'll receive the standard yield when mining these materials.
