Wow the community wasn't kidding about robots being Overpowered

[lockwoodx]

I noticed that as soon as you hit lvl 50 a switch gets flipped internally and the game becomes a massive JERK. Before... glowing and diseased mobs were very rare. Now it's 99% of trash encounters. Worse... the robots gained hitscan auto aim with weapons that don't give you time to react. Multiple tesla arm robots? I'll just log and find a new server it's that bad.

Bethesda may not listen but I don't care. Once again they prove inept when it comes to balance.

Robots being overpowered was a rather long term problem before the latest big patch and has largely been addressed.

What happens to you is you hit level 50 and encounter level 50+ enemies, but you being a newish player likely don't have your build in order or even proper weaponry that is on-level for your build - so yeah you're gonna have a hard time.

You have now entered the endgame so to speak, so you should just perk up your build and equipment.
Since you now don't level your gear anymore, it's time to hunt for the "good" stuff as it won't outdate anymore. You know, get your favourite weapon at max level, always assuming your build works.

PEBCAK, essentially.

Power armor is a must for some of the robots. Robobrains are like the mole rats and scorpions of that family. One shot and they already know where I am even while sneaking.

The extra diseased mobs are a great thing(if you don't have the challenge done for collecting them all anyways(and if you do, they're just normal mobs, most of the diseases are easily ignored, as they don't do anything important)), the rest of it isn't so bad either once you get some half decent gear on, beat up the raiders of steel and take their combat armour if you don't have access to anything bigger. The rest is just a matter of patience gathering bullion/reputation for the end game gears, welcome to the beginning of the grind.

Get a bigger Gun to play with the Bigger Bots. Or learn to run faster, jump higher, sneak better or TAKE DRUGS..

You either need to get heavy weapons or certain weapons with a min/max build. Since you are new, I recommend Heavy weapons.

Robots got nerfed back in December. They're cupcakes now.

That's a pity, it's so satisfying to kill them when they are tough instead of easy kills.

A handy with a flamer was tougher than an assaultron.

And Mirelurks are my enemy again. They are All over my Boat camps now. Soooo Much Gumbo-so little time.

[vhortex]

i used to get Lvl 75 Robots when I hit lvl 50 but they fixed it. I only get lvl 75 robots after getting lvl 75 on my alt toon

[lockwoodx]

It's not something I'll quit over but its frustrating enough I'll change servers or quit for the night if the game gives me too many robot-related tasks to do.

I started playing in the fall so I would have been too low to notice it. What I DO notice is they come with a lot more BS now.

its recommended that when reaching level 50 you switch over to Melee weapons that pack a punch, in order to save on ammo, it can sometimes take over 100 bullets to kill some spawns.

using melee with melee build perks can take things out in 3 or 4 swings, roll with power armor, while you look for stronger weapons. if you can manage to save some caps, find someone selling some decent instigating, or two shot weapons at there camp.

typically you want to invest your caps first in a really good level 50 weapon, this will carry you through to you level up more an build your perk load outs.
