Sentrybot at Robot Disposal Grounds

[Kleever]

Anyone find this area? Did the sentry bot activate and respond to any commands? i'm pretty sure it is glitched out in my game but wanted to check to see if it actually did work for anyone else.

Yep, it's bugged and only moves when you punch it with melee weapon power attack.

I found it and i think i figured it out. Once you activate it, it does not do anything. You have to use the computer terminal again (or use the holotape on your pip boy) to activate commands.
There is a command to self destruct, and there is an option to defend one of 4 military locations. I havent tried any of the commands yet, but i will soon.

Edit: Ok so i tried all the commands... The defence orders do not work. But self destruct does work. I hoped the defence orders would send the robot to military bases and that i could follow it for nice loot... Maybe it is just bugged.

I'm pretty sure it's bugged. I don't think they'd put in commands to defend those specific bases if the bot wasn't gonna do that. I even tried using console commands to physically teleport the bot out of the Grounds to see if it would move then but no luck.

Question... I made the bit self destruct and that (along with the hidden fat boy) are like the only things to do at this point of interest.. Yet on my map it doesn't say "cleared" and that really bugs me... Did I miss something

[Kleever]

as far as self destruct...that only would work for me if i initiated it and then attacked it. otherwise it would still just sit there like a lump.

[Counterspell]

Yeah but after moving on to other quests I noticed this one isn't labeled as "cleared" and it bugs the crap out of me... Idk why it would be like that

Lol it's not a "bug", people should really stop using that word for every weird thing they run into.
That as the whole point, it doesn't do anything but self destruct.
Didn't you read the terminal?
All the robots they got were broken...

[Counterspell]

From what I read they weren't all broken.. They seemed completely fine but some strange organization "REDACTED" seems like they are trying to get rid of the bots. They would scrap perfectly fine bots instead of reusing them or replacing certain parts. FYI I wasn't one who claimed bug but I'm pissed that it isn't labeled clear!

Isn't that a good thing?
I love that not everything is spelled out. Just like in the old Fallout games.

So, the Sentrybot is just for loot?

even if its not intented to do anything other then self destruct, it still qualifies as a bug when taht functionality isn't working for some unless you initiate an attack against the robot first. also i noticed after reloading my save the robot spawned in the ground with just its head sticking out...that i would also classify as buggy.

Definetly bugged.
When I activated a defence protocoll, the bot said something about it but was still doing nothing.

When I activated Self Destruction, still nothing happaned until I shot the bot. Only then it did the self-destruct.

I reloaded to see, if those other commands would work as well, if you hit the robot, but they still did nothing.

Also, when you hit it, it becomes hostile but doesn't do anything.

I never had a bug personally I told it to self destruct off the bat so I could loot the material.. And sorry to say this again but does anyone else notice it's not labeled as "cleared" on your map? Is that bc it's just a POI and there was no quest there or?

It's because there are no enemies there. There's nothing to be cleared.... yet.
At least that's what I think, but I could be wrong.
Other places where there are no enemies don't show up as "cleared" on my map either, that's why.

[wolfking]

There are molerats that should spawn when the robot starts moving, but they don't. You can throw a grenade to the right of robot and then molerat will come out, there should be more, and that's why you can't get it cleared.
