Protectron (Fallout 4)

Protectrons are a platform of robot, and these specific models appear in Fallout 4 and its add-on Automatron.

Characteristics
The humble Protectron is a capable combatant thanks to a combination of good armor plating, weapons, and special attacks. It is a capable ranged combatant, but suffers somewhat in melee combat. Its legs are the slowest of any pre-war robot type, and it has fairly weak arms.


 * In combat, the police model of Protectron relies on strong melee attacks and a painful electric shock.
 * The medic model of Protectron was designed to use its hands as a defibrillator. In combat, it utilizes this ability as a painful shock attack.
 * The construction model of Protectron was built to take damage. Some versions also come equipped with an internal nail gun, which they can utilize in combat.
 * The fire fighter model has a cryo gun (fire extinguisher).

With the Automatron DLC, a number of weapons are available based on the many different models of Protectron. Protectron weapons are relatively unique in that they are designed with "hand" armor, giving Protectrons slightly higher armor values than other robot types. Modified Protectrons have been seen with enhanced armor and military-grade laser weapons. However, the larger size of these weapons means they cannot use hand armor.

Special interactions

 * The utility personality will warn of regulation requiring a hard hat at a job site. Putting one on will make the Protectron thank the player for complying.
 * The subway Steward will approach the player and require they give a subway token or turn hostile. Once received it will thank the player for riding the subway.
