How many people here would actually fail the BoS medical questionnaire?

Of all the companions I have used, Ada is the best one. A bit too talkative, but very effective and equip her with the hacking module and she can assit with those also.

Generally I venture alone and only use the other companions to get the extra perks from them. But if I had to choose one to go with me, it would be Ada hands down.

I dont like Ada she has a bug that prevents her from leveling up like other robot companions.

I just make my own Ada II and throw the old one as a provisioner or farm duty.

But yea automatron companions while expensive to beef up they are amazing. On survival they feel a bit like cheating they are so good.

PS: Robots get health bonus from levels too like regular companions its why i care about their level cause health boost from level and health boost from parts stacks.

It's not about their combat effectivness; They are so huge they keep blocking you or your line of sight. I dont use them for that unique reason, sadly.

Using Assaultron Legs sorta solves this issue.
Unrealistically regardless of their top body they fit everywhere with these and they don't block you as much cause these legs have incredible mobility they can move out of your way pretty fast and actually try to dodge enemy fire / charge them.

I find human companions and Dogmeat more annoying (especiallly Dogmeat) in that regard than a Assaultron class hybrid.

One character I’ve been using since fallout 3 is Catherine the scientist.

I knew she would get a lot of mileage out of this dlc.

Gameplay pretty much became a repetition of going to location after location bombarding everything in sight with one heavy gunner automatron followed by coming back to these locations with a more indoor friendly automatron to clear out the inside.

I love using Catherine in fallout 4 because of this dlc nothing can stand up to the automatron she makes this is easily the most powerful she’s been in the fallout games I have played.

Underrated? I don't think anyone says they are not the strongest.

I prefer the Mr. Handy thruster for that, since they're quieter and the assaultron legs sometimes have a slight lag in slowing from a run that has them bumping into me.

But both are very effective, and I often go for the legs on appearance, since the thruster can give the impression of having only half a robot (especially if you've gone for bulkier parts).

best robot mods are a sentry torso, robobrain, sentry arms, mr handy thruster, nuke launchers, and the explosive minigun with a lightning gun for quick damage, and the mini nuke launchers.


Not including nuka world mods for codsworth.

For killing power, you really have to include one of the instant-kill parts. I'm partial to the sentry bot head with a carnage helm, myself.

Yea.. About nuke launchers.
Be sure to have the Inspirational perk cause these things are very "trigger happy" with their nukes.

They won't hesitate to shoot a radroach point blank... while you are standing next to it.

eh depends. With my setup they become super versatile. Just make sure you got no damage companion or you to them skills.

The robobrain is for extremely long range and accurate. The sentry torso for tanking and the launcher mods, the sentry arms for damage and health, the mr handy thruster to easily get into tight areas and be super fast. The explosive minigun for AoE damage and the lightning gun for multi targeting enemies especially animals and ghouls.

Everything your character can cover from melee to weapons. It's actually somewhat boring having insta killing capabilities on a bot. Makes the game too easy. Though it works extremely well for supply lines. Sentry bots with maxed out mods can pretty much make sure your settlements never falter.

Be cautious when you use automatron with instant kill parts in Nuka Town during Open Season.

The instant gib / decapitation bugs the hell out of that place. It's hard to explain but named raiders don't die if "killed" by this .. Their bodies get obliterated but they are still alive and try to kill you while being completely invisible and unable to be harmed.

Idk if this was ever officially fixed or if Unofficial patch deals with this.

I've never run across that myself, but I don't usually take a robot to Nuka World since there are parts I want to handle more carefully. It might be some issue with the insta-kill versus NPCs who normally leave an unbreakable corpse.
