Synth

Synths are androids found in the Commonwealth.

Background
There have been a number of iterations or generations of synths with later generations being almost indistinguishable from humans. The exact differences between the generations is currently unknown, however one generation of synths, which Armitage and A3-21 are part of, do not have a claw hand or individual parts throughout limbs, attributes which are found within Generation 2 synths.

Characteristics
Synths appear to have worn down synthetic skin and possess laser weapons for use in combat.

Appearances
Synths appear mainly in Fallout 4, however, Harkness and Armitage from Fallout 3 are synths as well.
