Hello there.
With this rig and accompanying guide, you will be able to make your own 3rd person power armor animations in Blender
Don't believe me? Here is an example of an Animation made with this Rig
Not convinced yet? Here is a weapon animation
Now you can make all the animations and poses that were previously only possible with 3dsMax,
like Story Action Poses, made by the wonderful EngineGaming
Please make sure to thoroughly read the document linked below.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wIyKkPsvuPtR6B2ODGnIHMcGkaCOEm04cq3yC86mY98/edit?usp=sharing
It has all the instructions for the rig and how to use it. This is not an animation tutorial so previous knowledge of Blender animation is required.
If you have feedback, suggestions, problems, etc. please contact me:

Version 2.0 Automation Update!
Now comes with a python script that automates all the tedious import and export and attachment steps.
That includes Annotations, which are now handled via pose markers,
import and export filepaths,
editing imported animations to be the right speed etc.,
Weapon attachments to the bones and each other.
