Assaultron (Fallout 4)

The assaultron is a type of robot encountered in The Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Background
The assaultron robot was constructed by RobCo and sold to the US Military as a front-line wartime combatant. It is fast and deadly at close range, and employs a devastating laser at a distance. The dominator variant can enable stealth technology. All around the perception seems to be significantly higher than other enemies', making it nearly impossible to sneak up on and hack without using a Stealth Boy.

Characteristics
The assaultron's body seems to be modeled after that of a female figure. They are highly aggressive, fast and some will attack the player character on sight. The assaultron's face will become surrounded with red electric energy when it is preparing its laser beam attack (unless it is the dominator variant, in which its laser will be replaced with a stealth field).

The charge of the assaultron's laser can be halted or avoided by using jet and stepping out of the way, killing it or doing enough damage to its head. If it is allowed to charge its laser all the way, and if not blocked by an object, will deal very large amounts of damage which can easily kill anyone almost instantly who isn't wearing decent power armor. For this reason, an assaultron's legs should be the first target when engaging a group of hostiles.

It is vulnerable at the legs. However, when these are destroyed, the assaultron will keep on pursuing the target, even if crawling on the ground and if incapacitated enough, will charge a potentially deadly explosion as a last desperate attempt to eliminate the target. Killing them before they can activate it will result in a normal death.

They can be very difficult for low level players to face head on due to their fast speed and aggressive attacks. A notable ability they have is being able to side step and they utilize that by avoiding attacks which can make weapons with slow fire rates a poor choice to use. While their laser is fully charged they are also capable of grabbing an opponent at close range and firing their laser directly into a victim's head.

Assaultron dominator
The Dominator variant have a powerful attack that consists of stabbing the target's torso with two swords simultaneously and opening its arms sideways, more often than not, resulting in a one-hit kill. The legendary version in the FEV Lab will have both the melee and laser. It will explode upon death after a short time.

Locations

 * One leveled assaultron always spawns in the FEV-Labs in The Institute.
 * They often spawn near military installations and tend to move around a lot because of their high attack range. When left alone they can often be seen engaging wasteland creatures.
 * One assaultron (along with a Mister Gutsy and sometimes a sentry bot) is found on the road leading to Nahant, wandering around the small pile of shipping containers.
 * They often spawn as a part of a Gunner patrol, providing frontline offense while the Gunners attack from a distance. One can almost always be found at Mass Pike Interchange atop the freeway.
 * An assaultron will attack you atop of the 35 Court building immediately after walking close to the casing it's inside.
 * One hanging out with some Gunners in Quincy ruins.
 * Two in front of Vault 95 and one inside.
