Behind the scenes

 * "Test Your Metal" is a multilayer pun on the phrase "test your mettle" (which means having the courage to carry on through a difficult task), referencing both the composition of the robots and the Brotherhood of Steel defenders.
 * The event was first added to the game's files with the Steel Reign update, but is not currently implemented pending testing in the Public Test Server.
