📋 About This Mod
What is this?
This mod distributes a new synth relay grenades to Gen 1 Synths and Coursers so they can call for backup from the Institute.
ESL-Flagged ESP. Powered by Robco Patcher. No manual edits for compatibility.
Because Gen 1 Synths are a major pushover; Gen 1 Synths should be cheap, disposable, and numerous. Now you'll have to decide if you can take on that group of synths patrolling that area, knowing that they could call for some major backup.
Synths are distributed a new version of the classic grenade, the disposable synth relay grenade. This cost effective cutting edge piece of institute technology self-destructs its internal circuitry when the host synth dies, so it becomes a completely worthless heavy hunk of junk that no vendors will want to buy. No unlimited caps exploit today! Maybe you can try and salvage a few components at a chemistry station...
Synths have a 10% to 65% chance to receive one disposable synth relay grenade based on their classification / role. Coursers will always spawn with a couple in hand.
Grenade Chance Table: (Synth Name | SSS Leveled List | % Chance to Spawn, Max Amount)
Synth | Very Low | 10% | 1
Synth Strider | Low | 30% | 1
Synth Leader | Medium | 55% | 1
Synth Patroller | Medium | 55% | 1
Synth Seeker | Medium | 55% | 1
Synth Trooper | Low | 30% | 1
Synth Assaulter | Medium | 55% | 1
Synth Stormer | High | 65% | 2
Synth Eradicator | High | 65% | 2
Courser | Courser | 100% | 4
