ROBOT HOME DEFENCE You spend a lot of time wandering into other people's houses and being shot at by robots. Why not copy them? Robot Home Defence adds a broad range of robots you can add to defend your settlements, from enemies as diverse as Raiders and Mirelurks to sickness and sobriety. With ranks in Robotics Expert, a Fusion Core and a little elbow-grease you can build:

  • []Protectrons, Mister Gutsies, Assaultrons and Sentry Bots to defend your settlement! []Emergency Services Protectrons and Mister Handies/Miss Nannies that offer lower defence but boost settlement happiness! []Utility Protectrons who can scavenge for parts just like the scavenging station! []Once you've completed the Drinking Buddy quest, Protectron Brewers can supply your settlements with food and water! []After a certain story mission, Generation 1 and Generation 2 synth settlers can be built!
Once you've built robot defences, you can have them escort you as you defend the Commonwealth:
  • []They'll fast travel with you []They take commands and share inventory []They return to their home settlement when dismissed []You can have any number at once []You can control which ranged weapons they'll use
You can also build wrench upgrades that'll let you heal and repair your robots out in the field. Plus, give your Protectrons a delightful pod to sleep in.

Robots also increase in power as you improve your crafting perks:

  • []Blacksmith adds HP []Armourer adds DR & E []Gun Nut adds physical damage []Science! adds energy damage
