📋 About This Mod
Two Head Laser variants are available:
Normal Charging version - same mechanics as the vanilla Assaultron head.
Primed Laser version - no charge time and more frequent use, but affected by the poor accuracy of the head. Be mindful of the bug where companions shoot the player because they have no more combat targets.
Both versions are even more lethal than the vanilla Assaultron.
The Rear Vac Pac armor can house Sentry Bot shoulder weapons now.
It is strongly recommended to use the Inspirational perk to prevent the robot from vaporizing the player on accident.
After lurking on the comments section of the original M. A. I. D Assaultron page, I should point out that you replace the original esp and the required meshes. Do not use both together or you will get conflicts.

⚠️ Cons

- No compatibility notes provided, so it might clash with other mods that tweak Assaultron behavior or M.A.I.D. specifically.
- Since it's a gameplay tweak, it could unbalance encounters if you're running a heavily modded game with tougher enemies.
For Fallout 4 players who love the M.A.I.D. Assaultron and want to give it that iconic Assaultron head laser for extra punch. If you're into robot companions and combat variety, this is a must-have. Skip it if you don't use M.A.I.D. or prefer pure cosmetic mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
