For info on what materials you need to build the crafting station, check out our getting started guide here.įrom now on you can modify Ada, Codsworth, and Curie or even build your own custom robots. It's best to take this one from afar for as long as possible so you don't get swarmed, then run in and hack anybody left alive when the bots finally notice you.įollowing the battle, talk to Ada and agree to help her to get the schematics for a robot crafting station and wrap up the first quest, which unlocks the “Mechanical Menace” achievement. You will immediately be in a pitched battle against an array of robots.
Mechanical MenaceĪutomatron kicks off with the Mechanical Menace quest, which you can get by listening to the caravan distress call on your radio tab and then traveling to Wattz Consumer Electronics (located to the northwest of Cambridge Police Station and southeast of County Crossing). If you have trouble taking them down the old fashioned way, just run up, hack 'em, and initiate a shut down or the self-destruct sequence. Keep in mind that many of the larger robots – the sentries, tankbots, and even some robobrains – will explode with the force of a mini-nuke after they are destroyed, so don't stay in close range! Robots are more likely to do this if you destroy their weaponry, so try not to take out both of their arms before destroying them.Ī very solid strategy for surviving some of the more difficult areas is to get in power armor so you survive the explosive ordinance coming your way, and then run up and simply hack the robots.Īs long as you have two points in the Robotics Expert perk, you can hack almost every single enemy in Automatron – even most of the tougher “boss” type robots or the random legendary spawns. The assaultrons with lasers mounted on their heads for instance take significantly less damage to that location, while swarmbots take bonus damage if you aim for their bottom thrusters.
Unlike with normal enemies, aiming for the head isn't always the best option with Automatron foes.
Basic Automatron Strategiesīesides a few Rust Devil raiders, every single new enemy you come across in Automatron will of course be a robot. Besides the robotic crafting (see our complete guide here), Automatron offers a handful of new quests, with one open ended robot-slaying quest afterwards for mopping up all those pesky 'bots still rampaging across the Commonwealth.
