Mister Gutsy (Fallout: New Vegas)

Background
Mister Gutsy is a military robot model created by General Atomics International. It is a militarized version of the Type-II Mister Handy, an earlier civilian-model robot created by the same company for use in household duties.

Technology
Mister Gutsies have weapons from Pre-War, but it are only Plasma and flame based ones. They still are tough to defeat because of the material they are crafted which seems not to be iron.

Mister Gutsy prototype is a series of robots are the prototypes for the Mr Gutsy line, featuring the same weapons and AI but having weaker armor than their Production Model Cousins. Not much is known about the prototype series but it can be assumed that these robots were commisioned by the US Army to test and evaluate the capabilities of a Combat Version of the existing Mister Handy. This series was commissioned some time before the production series for trials, which were obviously successful as the production models were brought into service shortly before the Great War. The prototypes were likely phased out in favour of the slightly improved Production Version and appear to have been either mothballed before the bombs fell, or deactivated due to long service without maintenance. In either case, they appear to have been salvaged by prospectors and reprogrammed for use by private individuals.

Mister Gutsy
Mister Gutsy, unlike the Mister Handy, is a dedicated combat robot and is easily distinguished from the Handy by its olive drab paint job, WWII-era US Army roundel insignia and the replacement of its British butler voice with an American drill sergeant's. It was commissioned by the U.S. Army just before the Great War in 2077. They have distinctive "soldierly" personalities, with an advanced AI somewhat similar to that of the civilian-model Mr. Handy.

Hardened Mister Gutsy
These unique Mister Gutsies can be found around the crashed vertibird in the southern Mojave. They are encountered along with hardened sentry bots at the crashed vertibird. Strangely, these Mister Gutsies are the default US Army model, instead of them having 'paint jobs' that are affiliated with the Enclave. Their HP exceeds a regular Mister Gutsy's by fifty points, and their general toughness is on par with the average sentry bot, accredited to their 10 Strength attribute (double that of the average Mister Gutsy).

It's speculated, considering their exclusive location and unconditional hostility, these unique robots were designed and/or programmed specifically to protect the Tesla-Beaton prototype en route to wherever it was being transported before the crash; by this logic, it can be assumed that the skeletons found in the crash site were not members of that Vertibird's crew because of their appearance outside the craft and only with the Tesla-Beaton prototype. This theory is reinforced by the fact that there is no disguise, not even Enclave-friendly Remnants power armor, that will cause them to be neutral/friendly.

Mister Gutsy prototype
Mister Gutsy prototype is a a weaker version of the regular Mr Gutsy, equipped with the same weapons and uses the same AI and is Hostile to the PC when encountered. One example is encountered when exploring the empty houses in Nipton after the Legion's raid and has already claimed the life of an unwary Legionaire and an unwary player may join them. Immediately hostile to the player and features the same weapons loadout as the regular series, however its armor is significantly weaker and can be disabled with two or three rounds from a cowboy repeater. Searching the fallen robot yields the same loot as a regular Mister Gutsy.

Mister Gutsy is the second most dangerous robot in the Mojave Wasteland, with sentry bots being the most dangerous. Gutsy models are armed with a plasma gun, roughly equivalent to a plasma pistol, for long-range combat and a flamethrower for close-range combat. This affords the Gutsy decent protection against both ranged and melee targets, a feature lacking in any other robot save the civilian Mister Handy. Additionally, due to their hover mechanism, Gutsy units do not set off the proximity fuses on mines.

However, Gutsy units do have several weaknesses: they can't use both weapons simultaneously and will always switch to their flamer when the target is in range, allowing the player character to effectively disable a Gutsy's attack capability by continuously entering and exiting the robot's flamethrower range, forcing it to switch back and forth between the plasma gun and flamer. Explosions will also knock it out of the air temporarily, giving a window of opportunity to strike the bot down.

You can also get at point-blank range, as close to it as you can possibly get, and move around the Gutsy. It can't fire its weapons at all or even try to attack you in any way. The only real problem with this tactic is getting close enough to the Gutsy to actually do that, while avoiding its fire. When it uses its flamer weapon, dodging shots is very tricky.

Mr. Gutsy, like any other robot, has a small variety of items they may drop on death.

Mister Gutsies are oddly more resistant to bullets than other robots. It is noted that armor-piercing rounds have negligible effects on their armor, though this is likely due to this type's military nature. The exception to this is the prototype Mr. Gutsy found in a house in Nipton (which can be taken down by two rounds from a Cowboy Repeater).

Their voice is also different from their East Coast variants, being quieter and tinier.

Locations
A few Mister Gutsies have been reprogrammed for use as guards for important places, like around the Crashed Vertibird. A handful of Mister Gutsies can be found around Nellis Air Force Base, HELIOS One, and Array. There is also a Mister Gutsy found and fixed by a resident in Nipton. The repairman's original intention was to impress a woman in town but ultimately backfired due to his lack of knowledge in robotics. More can be found at lower levels in places that would normally contain a regular Mr. Gutsy at a higher level, such as the HELIOS One tower.
