The first DLC pack of Fallout 4,Automatron, released last week and brought some new customization and crafting options to the survivors in the Commonwealth. A new villain has emerged as well – The Mechanist. This tech tyrant has created an army of deadly Robobrains to terrorize the Commonwealth. The best way to defeat him? Even the odds!

When fallout 4 came out and they literally copy pasted most of galaxy news radio with a few new ones here and there. It was okay I could just about manage. It was annoying but I could try loosely explaining it lorewise. Then 76 does the exact same thing with more rehashed fallout 3 music and some tracks from 4. I can't even listen to the radio now.

Automatron introduces a complex robot crafting system into Fallout 4. Players can piece together their own unique robot companions with different body parts, weapons, armor, and mods to produce deadly results. There are a wide variety of customization options.

Our Fallout 4: Automatron Robot Crafting Guide will help you build an unstoppable machine. The Mechanist won’t stand a chance!

Getting Started

Before crafting robots of your own, players must complete the introductory quest Mechanical Menace. Afterwards, players will receive the Robot workbench schematics from Ada. Ada will be your primary companion throughout Automatron, so modifying her parts will be the most handy.

The are two primary ways of outfitting the robots you crate. The first is to scavenge parts and mods from enemy robots you defeat. The second is to craft the parts yourself using materials. Crafting should be your primary method of building robots, as random chance plays too big a factor in the parts you find from enemies.

For the most crafting options, invest in the following perks: Science!, Robotics Expert, Blacksmith, Gun Nut, and Armorer. The more advanced (and best) parts require them.

What Type of Robot Should I Build?

The details of your robot should follow your play style! If you primarily focus on close-quarters combat with melee weapons, it’s best to outfit your robot with long-range weapons. If you prefer to pick off enemies from a distance, outfit your robot with powerful melee weapons to cause damage and make distractions.

The parts you choose can also lead to bonuses in particular weapon types, so feel free to experiment with what parts pair best with your weapons.

Let’s break down a list of each robot part to see which options are the most effective in the Commonwealth.

Head Parts

Assaultron Head
Perks: Science! Rank 2, Robotics Expert Rank 1
The powerful burst of the Assaultron Head Laser can provide some great damage to robots. It should be used on melee-focused robots due to its low accuracy.

Robobrain Head
Perks: Science! Rank 2, Robotics Expert Rank 1
The Robobrain Head is clearly the best head for robots. It allows your robot to perform the Mesmetron Pulse attack and also increases the accuracy of your weapons.

Torso Parts

Mr. Handy Torso
Perks: Science! Rank 1
The Mr. Handy Torso is a great choice for melee-focused robots, as the torso gives a boost to movement speed.

Sentry Torso
Perks: Science! Rank 3, Robotics Expert Rank 1
The Sentry torso provides the most health of all torso types, allowing your robot to endure long battles. However, the torso is prone to overheating.

The Assaultron Arm packs the best close-quarters damage of all other arms, perfect for melee attackers.

The Sentry Arm packs the best health boost and carrying capacity. It’s viable for robots of all builds.

Leg Parts

Mr Handy Thruster

Sentry Bot Legs
Perks: Science! Rank 3, Robotics Expert Rank 1
Offering the best carrying capacity and health, the Sentry legs turn your robot into a behemoth. However, their large size can prove difficult to maneuver indoors.

Weapons

Hammer Saw
Perks: Blacksmith – Rank 3
The Hammer Saw is a powerful melee weapon that causes opponents to bleed on hit. Great for taking out large health bars.

Shishkabob
Perks: Blacksmith – Rank 3
Another fantastic melee weapon that has a fast attack speed and also make targets suffer burn damage on hit.

Missile Launcher
Perks: Science! Rank 3, Gun Nut Rank 1
For longer range robots, the Missile Launcher packs a great punch. The large explosions can damage multiple enemies easily.

Gatling Laser Gun
Perks: Science! Rank 3
Similar to the Minigun, the Gatling Laser Gun deals considerable damage at range. Energy damage tends to dent enemies more reliably as well.

Armor and Mods

Hydraulic Frame
Perks: Armorer Rank 3
The Hydraulic Frame Armor improves output damage as well as energy resistance.

Warmonger Serrated Storage Plate
Perks: Armorer Rank 4
The Hydraulic Frame Armor requires some steep requirements to craft. For melee robots though, it’s worth it. The set causes enemies to bleed.

Recon Sensors
Perks: Robotics Expert Rank 1
Recon Sensors are a mod that tracks enemy targets for players. Perfect for players who prefer to follow their targets from range.

Regeneration Field
Perks: Robotics Expert Rank 2, Science! Rank 2
The Regeneration Field heals nearby human allies outside of combat. For those who like to save their stimpacks, it’s a great alternative.

Tesla Coils
Perks: Robotics Expert Rank 2, Science! Rank 1
On the offensive end, the Telsa Coils mod deals energy damage to nearby enemies. Some missions throw an insane amount of robots your way and equipping this will help even the odds.

If you’ve been playing Fallout 4 for a while then you’re probably well familiar with its workshop feature. However, the mechanic is one of those easy to learn, but hard to master style elements that has a lot of hidden depth throughout. Those who’ve spent dozens of hours building up their settlements will likely breeze through the new DLC, Fallout 4 Vault-Tec Workshop, but others could struggle with a few of the requirements that it asks of the player. We’re here to help though, and one mission could be tough, just because its requirements are a bit hidden away in the workshop menu. So, here’s our guide on how to build and use a terminal in Fallout 4 Vault-Tec Workshop.

About halfway through the Vault-Tec Workshop missions you’ll begin actually running tests on your vault dwellers. These will require a few different things to be built. Most of them will appear in the “Special” area of the workshop menu, but a few are outside of it. One of these is the terminal, which you have to build to manipulate the mechanical bike that you are using for your tests.

To build it, just open up the workshop menu then navigate to Power and Miscellaneous. It is then the second option in this menu, right after the Settlement Beacon. Place it somewhere near whatever object you are trying to control and power it up. I recommend putting in a generator next to this area that at least produces five units of energy. Attach a wire to the terminal (check the bottom of the screen for the specific button necessary), then attach the other end to whatever device you want the terminal to control. Then just activate it as normal, and navigate through the menu for whichever option you want to use for your test.

You can even re-use this same terminal throughout Fallout 4 Vault-Tec Workshop, attaching it to whatever the new device is that the mission requires. With that you should be all set. Fallout 4 Vault-Tec Workshop has a lot of new stuff, but most of it is optional. If anything troubles you too much be sure to let us know in the comments.
