Vertibot

 is a type of robot found in Fallout 76.

Background
As the name suggests, the Vertibot is a fully automated, autonomous VB-01 Vertibird prowling the skies of West Virginia. They should not be confused with Cargobots, which are a related, but distinct development.

Characteristics
Vertibots are high level robotic enemies that require a great deal of care in fighting. It's quite easy to be overwhelmed due to their generous armor, health pool, and ability to fly. If attacked, the Vertibot will continue attacking until it either is destroyed, kills the attacker, or loses interest. In that case, it will not respond to any harassment fire. Notably, survey Vertibots identical to the regular ones appear during Event: Fly Swatter in the Ash Heap, allowing for a near-constant supply of Vertibots to shoot down.

If a player controls a public workshop with a Vertibot landing pad, the pad can be repaired to spawn a friendly Vertibot, which will automatically take off and attack enemies. The player will also be able to collect Vertibot signal flares, which will allow them to summon them to a location, much like in Fallout 4.

Loot

 * 5mm ammunition
 * Grenades
 * Random chems

Locations

 * Vertibots appear periodically escorting Strategic Air Command cargobots delivering nuclear keycards.
 * Vertibots will also spawn at any locations that have a Vertibot landing pad and a workshop that can be claimed by the player, such as Poseidon Power Plant Yard or converted munitions plant.
