Powered Armor: In multiple kinds. Regular legionary armor (also used by the Watch Constabulary, and indeed similar suits without the militarization are used in the civilian construction and other hazardous-environment industries) provides only moderate power-assist, but does come with kinetic barriers, self-contained environmental support/NNBC protection, medical and tactical computer support, and limited vector-control flight ability. (Although those limited assists do still let you wuxia it up with the best of them… only with overpowered guns.)
The full combat exoskeleton of a heavy legionary is a walking tank with interchangeable heavy weapon packs that turns it Up To Eleven, letting its wearer punch out small buildings, throw respectably-sized vehicles, dance a merry jig amid venting fusion plasma, and toss around nuclear grenades at close range. (And yes, they have civilian versions, too. They’re used for things like cleaning up melted-down reactor cores from the inside, while they’re still hot.)
Both of them include substantial mesh-networked combat drone control capability.

I’m picturing something an awful lot like the Tau’s XV8 Crisis Suits from Warhammer 40k here: heavily-armored, power-assisted, flying and with interchangeable weapons, check.
Quite possibly, although I’m not all that familiar with W40K canon myself.
