A New Threat is a quest and achievement/trophy in the Fallout 4 add-on, Automatron.

Synopsis[]

With a new robotic companion joining the party, the Sole Survivor embarks on a journey to the General Atomics factory in South Boston to track down the Mechanist, and their rogue robotic army, that is now terrorizing the Commonwealth.

Walkthrough[]

  1. After completing Mechanical Menace, the Sole Survivor will be tasked by Ada to travel to the nearby General Atomics factory, in order to track down a signal from the Mechanist.
  2. Upon fighting through the robotic forces stationed at the factory, it is revealed that the signal is being transmitted to a robobrain. Take the Mechanist device from this robobrain.
  3. After presenting the device to Ada, she will discern that it is actually a satellite tracking device, and that they can install it onto her chassis, in order to discern the Mechanist's whereabouts.
  4. Using the schematic that Ada gave to the Sole Survivor earlier, a robot workbench will need to be created at any settlement, in which the radar beacon can then be attached to her.
  5. Upon activation, Ada will reveal that she will need two additional beacons in order to crack the encryption on the signal, and she will then mark the location of two other robobrains.
