Notes[]
- There are a total of 50 Eat'o'tronic 3000 machines scattered throughout the Capital Wasteland.
- These machines are a good source of Sugar Bombs to help with the unmarked side quest: Murphy's Bombing Run.
- The Eat'o'tronic inside the Derelict Power Plant, near MDPL-13 Power Station, contains an assault rifle.
- The Eat'o'tronic in the basement of the Chryslus building contains 3 pack of cigarettes and 2 bottles of whiskey, the only noted so far to have alcohol and/or cigarettes in it.
- Taking the food from the Eat'o'Tronic in Tenpenny Tower is considered a crime.
- It seems that if you open one and then leave an area, when you come back it may be closed and impossible to open a second time.
- Eat'o'tronics are the only type of item storage which is not actually a 'container' as such, where upon opening the hatch the contents are actually physical objects placed in the world as opposed to items listed in a container dialogue.
- Eat'o'tronics also appear in Mojave Wasteland.
- They can be found on both the first and second floors of the Bison Steve Hotel.
- One is found in The Sink, above the counter with the Toaster.
