    Hmm 10 dollars is a bit much if you're buying it by itself honestly, even from someone that enjoyed it. Unless you really want to build robots, but as part of the season pass I enjoyed it

    I opened it up in FO4Edit and there was mention of a Fat Man component of some sort. So...nuke-launching robots. That should end well.

    Those junkbots aren't fucking around. Doesn't help that my own robot seems to almost immediately give me away in stealth.

    Might actually have to whip out the power armor for this.

    Its amusing to watch a robot waddle into a raider camp while making adorable beeping noises as it proceeds to launch nukes at them.

    With the first two ranks of the Inspirational perk, it wasn't uncommon for Codsworth to wipe out entire rooms full of enemies by himself before this DLC came out.

    Now that I can upgrade him with absurd amounts of armor and weaponry, I imagine it won't be hard to turn him into the ultimate bodyguard. I'll never need to fight anything again.

    Warning: Looking at Codsworth in the robot crafting station, even if you don't change anything, will permanently remove his ability to wear a bowler hat.

    It's a small addition but I think I'm biased I really wanted something like this. I think I even commented here about wanting an assaultron companion.

    Woah woah WOAH.

    Wait a minute...you're telling me I can now turn Codsworth into a nuke spewing sentry bot of death?

    Hot damn. Always wanted to tinker with him but didn't hold out hope that Automatron would finally allow it.

    You can do the same for Curie pre-personal quest. Dunno if that effects her ability to complete that same quest.

    Yes, but didn't you see? It removes his ability to wear a bowler hat. So, overall, it would be a nerf.

    What's the minimum level requirement for Automatron? I'm at level 28 or 29 on my slashy fists character, so I should be good to pick the DLC up today, yes?

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    The Robotics Expert perk is so OP in this DLC.

    It works on everything, even legendaries and bosses (like the robobrains). I fight every encounter by taking control of the strongest robot there, then inciting the rest of them to attack to each other. It does require getting into melee range, so I still take a bit of damage, but fights end almost as soon as they begin.

    If you want to have full access to every possible robot part, you'll need nearly every crafting perk, which means having at least 8 Intelligence and 4 Strength. Best get levelin'.

    And for those wondering, yes, wearing the Silver Shroud costume during the final confrontation does indeed unlock unique dialogue options.

    Tell me Codsworth keeps his voice actor even if he is converted into a massive sentry bot.

    I'm assuming they kept it that way for simplicity's sake if for nothing else, but I would be sorely disappointed otherwise. Codsworth is awesome.

  • Ivan HungerIvan Hunger Registered User regular
    If you're a Codsworth user like myself, then I'm sure you've often become frustrated at the fact that he can't be revived when KO'd like other companions. Automatron adds the new consumable "Robot Repair Kit", that functions as a stimpack for robots.

    He does. Only the robots you build from scratch have customizable voice options. Codsworth, Curie, and Ada are all stuck with their default voices.

    Hmm. I'm not sure I want to turn my new stealth sniper character into Brainy McBrains and blow all my next level ups on crafting perks. I might hold off on this DLC for a bit.

    Note that, like weapons, the low-end robot mods don't require any perks and can be built by any type of character. It's only the high-end stuff that requires significant perk investment.

    Also note that as soon as you install the DLC, enemy robots will start dropping robot mods mixed in with their randomized loot. This means you'll have access to at least some high-end robot mods, even if you can't build them yourself.

    I remember being able to stimpack Codsworth when he went down in battle, no matter time to fetch him from Sanctuary and turn him into a killbot when I get home.

  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    Automatron is coming at a kind of funny time for my current playthrough. Just got to The Institute and met Father in the main questline.
    I decided from the start to kind of do a fallen jedi type of thing. Trying to find her son, my character hooks up with The Railroad, and decides to work with them because they can most likely help, but also helping Synths is a noble cause. She quickly rose through the ranks to become their best agent, better than Glory even, and they eventually find their way into The Institute sending their best agent in to scout it out of course. Once she learns that Father is her son, emotion takes over and she devotes herself to their cause for her son's sake and The Railroad has a legendary agent that they no longer talk about(and who I suspect will have to return at some point and wipe them all out...).

    So she's finally found her son, and was just given her first Synth reclamation assignment... but fuck all that because Automatron! She's gonna be gone for a while, and when she finally returns to The Institute, Shaun'll be like:

    "Mother! Are you alright? The Courser says you never showed up to the rendezvous spot... it's been two weeks, where have you been?"

    "Shaun! Look, I made a robot too! Pretty cool, huh?" :D

    "...Oh boy"

    What I've seen of Automatron reminds me a bit of tinkering with my robot characters in the SaGa games, in a good way.

    I'm actually looking forward to this a lot more than I expected. I had kind of decided to leave off FO4 until they released console modding. I'll probably fire this up when I get home.

    Seems like a lot of the best defensive mods are all raider styled visually though which is kind of a bummer if you want your guys to look more professional or friendly rather than demon from hell.

    You can only have one with you as a companion at a time but you can build multiple ones and keep them in settlements like other party members.

    Not sure what the limit is.

    It isn't new. From what I remember, you can get it from scrapping modified combat armor. Armor merchants sometimes sell shipments, too.

    Anyone on Xbox one find that textures now load in really slowly since installing the dlc?

    Oh, it's already out? I should play some more.

  • ProhassProhass Registered User regular
    So I've completed the dlc, and after taking out one patrol of robots the mission goes away, I thought it would be repeatable? Also I've forgotten the name and location of the mechanist lair so I can't go back and check for more stuff, can someone spoiler tag it for me?

  • BronzeKoopaBronzeKoopa Registered User regular
    Oh hell yes robots you build can be assigned to supply lines. No more waiting for the recruitment beacon or shuffling around settlers. I'm gonna need more junk to build robots, more robots!

    I'm guessing I'm not the only one kicking all my settlers out and replacing them with robots?

    Also holy shit the gorgon robots (I think that's what they're called) are fucking terrifying looking

  • DuffelDuffel jacobkosh Registered User regular
    Looks like to begin with you only have access to the protectron/assaultron/mr handy chassis and components.

    Are the stuff like sentrybots and robobrains unlocked through the quest or are they gated behind perks? I'm assuming the former since they just aren't on there at all, not blacked out.

    Anyway, right now I'm rolling with an extremely junky-looking ladybot with automatic lasers on each hand (named T260G, after the SaGa character...). This looks promising so far.

    Neither, those are parts you can't build until you've looted it off of an enemy robot at least once. So you're unfortunately at the mercy of RNG if there's one you really want.

    (I still haven't found a sentry torso. :mad:)
