It has a laser on one arm and a cryojet on the other, both weapons that require science level one, but offer increased damage and a chance at freezing enemies. However, that bonus does require the science perk to be at level three and robotics expert perk at level one. Eventually, I’m looking into giving it Sentry Legs, which increase its carrying capacity and movement speed. Both the Proptectron arms and legs offer increased carrying capacity compared to other robots, but also don’t require high level skills to create. Prior to beating Automatron, I had one going between Sanctuary Hills and the Starlight Drive In, but it’s now connecting Sanctuary Hills to the Mechanist’s Lair.Īs an example, I have a pack mule Protectron that’s an easy-to-build, initial robot for anyone who doesn’t have the necessary armorer, blacksmith, science, or robotics expert perks to make something amazing. Or, to give one something to do while you complete enough headhunting missions to get all the parts needed to turn it into the best and baddest robot ever. They’re handy for situations where you have a new settlement, want it to grow, but aren’t ready to start recruiting more people to the place. They’re easy to appease too, since they don’t need to eat or sleep. You can send them to any place you “own,” giving them the same sorts of jobs as ordinary settlers. Fallout 4 Automatron allows you to build robots that can populate your towns. Which is quite possibly the best thing people who love robots and settlement management. This is a big help for anyone who decides to start creating a whole crew of robot buddies. Depending on how things go, a trader might show up who sells circuitry, fiber optics, gear, oil, screw, and steel shipments.

You can also find a handy new friend here, depending on how you handle the whole The Mechanist situation. You can move other settlers there, though, and set up a trade route. It’s an interior settlement, which means you can’t start growing food or stores. This happens regardless of the decisions made as you head into the final encounter. After completing the Restoring Order quest, you get the Mechanist’s Lair as a new place to live. But, what people might not realize is how helpful it is when creating a better network of settlements.Ī very obvious benefit is the acquisition of a new settlement. You could even alter Curie, if you’d like. It’s a great way to make Codsworth, Ada, or an original robot an amazing assistant. With Fallout 4’s latest Automatron DLC, it’s easy to see the add-on as a means of getting incredible followers.
