Armor_Metal Constructed of thick, hand-welded steel or aluminum, Metal Armor offers additional protection against physical damage.
Armor_PowerArmor_Excavator Developed by Garrahan Mining Co., the "Excavator" class of Power Armor never saw full production, despite being heavily advertised in Appalachia as the future of mining.
Armor_PowerArmor_Frame Even without additional limb armor, a Power Armor frame still provides tactical advantages, like increased carry weight, greater melee damage and the elimination of falling damage.

Armor_PowerArmor_T51 The Battle of Anchorage saw the first deployment of the advanced T-51 series of Power Armor. With advanced servos and composite armor plating, it was a vast improvement over earlier models.
Armor_PowerArmor_T60 The most advanced suits of Power Armor to see extensive use were the T-60 models. By the time of the Great War, they were a common sight in all U.S. military engagements.
Armor_Robot Crafted from actual destroyed robots, the high-tech plating of Robot Armor offers additional protection against energy damage.

Creatures[]

Creation Kit ID Hint
Creature_Assaultron The RobCo Assaultron is a frontline combat robot with exceptional melee capabilities. But it is her powerful head-mounted laser that, once fully charged, can decimate an enemy.
Creature_Cargobot Late in 2060, the U.S. military deployed their unmanned Cargobots all over Appalachia. They proved ideal for providing reconnaissance and delivering supplies in even the most hostile conditions.
Creature_Deathclaw Razor-sharp claws, towering size, and surprising speed have made the Deathclaw one of the most feared predators of the Wasteland.
Creature_FeralGhoul Feral Ghouls were once human beings. Their minds are completely gone, destroyed by radiation, leading only to violent, uncontrollable rage.
Creature_FlatwoodsMonster In pre-war West Virginia, near the town of Flatwoods, many claimed to see a dark, mysterious figure with glowing eyes. Was this Flatwoods Monster some kind of demon? Or something far worse?
Creature_GraftonMonster The source of endless fireside horror stories, the Grafton Monster is said to be a lumbering, pale, headless horror that wanders the woodlands of Grafton, West Virginia.
Creature_HoneyBeast The Honey Beast is a horribly mutated honey bee that can attack by releasing dangerous insect swarms. Fortunately, it is particularly vulnerable to both heat and cold attacks.
Creature_Liberator The Liberator robot was deployed by air onto American soil in the days leading up to the Great War. Its purpose was to inspire invading Chinese troops and spread Communist propaganda.
Creature_MegaSloth The enormous Mega Sloth is peaceful by nature, but highly protective of its territory. It's also not nearly as slow as one might expect.
Creature_Mirelurk While there are actually several Mirelurk species, most are heavily armored and aggressive. If facing one in combat, try to aim for an unprotected area, like the face.
Creature_MissNanny General Atomics International built the Miss Nanny robot as a female counterpart to the Mister Handy. Both are equally adept in their duties and feature the same interchangeable implements.
Creature_MisterFarmhand The Vault-Tec Agricultural Research Center promised a future of automated, high-tech farming. But sometime after the war, their experimental Mister Farmhands turned that dream into a nightmare.
Creature_MisterGutsy Realizing their robots' enormous military potential, General Atomics International developed the Mister Gutsy as a powerful wartime equivalent to the Mister Handy.
Creature_MisterHandy The pride of General Atomics International, the Mister Handy was designed as the ultimate domestic servant. If needed, however, his various attachments can be used for defense.
Creature_MoleMiner Trapped within their deteriorating mining suits, the Mole Miners are frenzied combatants who attack anything they perceive as a threat.
Creature_MoleRat While vulnerable out in the open, Mole Rats can burrow underground in seconds. This allows them to set up ambushes or escape from predators with alarming speed.
Creature_Mothman According to local folklore - as well as a statue and museum in Point Pleasant, West Virginia - the Mothman is a terrifying half-man, half-moth hybrid. Pray you never encounter it and learn the truth.
Creature_MutantHound Mutant Hounds are typically raised and trained by Super Mutants, who use them as vicious guard and attack dogs.
Creature_Protectron While RobCo's Protectron robots were meant to replace human workers in areas that were deemed too dangerous, many people in Appalachia actually saw them as a threat to their jobs.
Creature_Radscorpion While the venom of their stingers is deadly, the real threat from a Radscorpion is their ability to ambush their prey from underground.
Creature_RadStag Radstags have a natural fear of predators and are likely to run as soon as they see you. If cornered, they can employ their sharp hooves to surprisingly deadly effect.
Creature_Radtoad Radtoads use their elongated tongues to ambush prey at a distance. If attacked, they unleash clouds of poison gas and send out swarms of their own offspring to harass opponents.
Creature_Scorched The Scorched are human beings afflicted by a strange condition known as the Scorched Plague, and are now controlled by a violent hive mind. But what is the Plague's source? And can it be stopped?
Creature_SentryBot The Sentry Bot was designed for one purpose: security through overwhelming firepower. Its only real weakness is the short "cool down" phase after attacking, when its Fusion Core is most vulnerable.
Creature_Snallygaster A horrifying result of experiments with the experimental Forced Evolutionary Virus, the Snallygaster has six legs, numerous eyes along its back, and an extended tongue covered in acidic goo.
Creature_Stingwing Stingwings use their impressive speed and poisoned stingers to wear down their opponents, but a well-placed hit or two can easily shatter their frail bodies.
Creature_SuperMutant The first Super Mutants in Appalachia were created right before the Great War, when West Tek poisoned the drinking water of Huntersville with the FEV Virus, in a sinister, secret experiment gone horribly wrong.
Creature_Tick What's worse than walking through the forest and getting munched on by a Tick? Walking through post-apocalyptic Appalachia and getting munched on by a giant, mutated, irradiated Tick.
Creature_Wendigo Few creatures, real or imagined, terrify West Virginians quite like the Wendigo. Possessing alarming speed, razor-sharp claws and an insatiable hunger for raw flesh, it is truly the stuff of nightmares.

Faction_FreeStates01 The Free States were a group of Appalachian anarchists who seceded from the United States shortly before the bombs fell.
Faction_FreeStates02 Paranoid that the government was lying to its people about the Vault program, the Free States movement built their own concrete bunkers to survive in case of nuclear devastation.
Faction_FreeStates03 While Raleigh Clay was the public face of the Free States, his arrest would reveal US Senator Sam Blackwell to also be a driving force behind the movement.
Faction_FreeStates04 Most of Appalachia considered the Free States movement to be nothing but political agitators and traitors. After the war, many of these same people would turn to the Free States for help.
Faction_Raiders01 The Raider groups of Appalachia were bloodthirsty psychopaths who terrorized the other survivors, taking whatever they wanted from them.
Faction_Raiders02 Expert scavengers, the Raider groups of Appalachia were surprisingly ingenious when it came to salvaging old world technology.

Faction_Responders02 The Responders provided automated survival training to anyone in need. And it was needed quite a bit.
