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.

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 Sole Survivor on sight. The assaultron's face will become surrounded with red electric energy when it is preparing its laser beam attack. The dominator variant is also equipped with a stealth field.

An 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, it will inflict ludicrous amounts of damage on its hapless target, often killing even high-level players or NPCs in seconds. The fact that assaultrons take reduced damage from headshots only serves to compound their main weapon's threat potential.

Assaultrons' weak points are their legs. However, when these are destroyed, the assaultron will continue to pursue the target by crawling on the ground. After taking sufficient damage, they 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.

Legendary assaultrons will invariably detonate violently, similar to a mini nuke blast, approximately two seconds after they are destroyed.

They can be very difficult for low level players to face head on due to their fast speed and powerful attacks. A notable ability they have is being able to sidestep, making them difficult to hit especially with semi-automatic weapons. While their laser is fully charged they are also capable of grabbing an opponent at close range and firing their laser directly into the victim's head, which is a virtually assured death sentence.

Assaultrons' perception seems to be significantly higher than other enemies', making them difficult to sneak up on and hack without maxed-out sneak skills, corresponding armor and/or using a Stealth Boy.

Assaultron
Deadly especially for the unprepared, the assaultron is among the most fearsome robotic enemies in the game. While their usual unarmed attacks are already a challenge for some, the real danger from these enemies comes from their charged laser weapons. The laser cannon that doubles as its head can usually disintegrate players on contact. Making matters worse dodging the weapon can prove difficult, since the size of the laser engulfs anything in front of it. Lucky the charge up for this weapon is long and given away by an impressive light show coming off the assaultron's face. The fast may be able to kill it quickly or even get behind it while its firing animation is going.

Assaultron invader
Invaders have a larger health pool and electrified hands that stun and do energy damage in addition to their regular melee damage. A blue glow can be seen around their hands even after death.

Assaultron dominator
The Dominator variant has a powerful attack that consists of stabbing the target's torso with two swords simultaneously and spreading its arms outwards, typically resulting in a one-hit kill.

This stronger variant of the already formidable assaultron can be counted among the nastiest dangers in the Commonwealth. The blades on its arms give its unarmed attacks considerably more bite while its head laser will still be gunning for its target. Even those in power armor should take a moment to plan how they intend to deal with this threat.

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 the player alongside a sentry bot atop of the 35 Court building after the player approaches the central locked chamber, which contains leveled power armor.
 * One can be found with the Gunners at the Quincy ruins.
 * Two are found in front of Vault 95, and another is located inside.
 * One can be found in the Hesters Consumer Robotics workshop, along with two protectrons.
 * Two assaultrons will attack the player along with two sentry bots and two protectrons after getting the Beryllium Agitator during Mass Fusion/Spoils of War.
 * One assaultron (and a Mister Gutsy) guards a wrecked military convoy on the road between Breakheart Banks and The Slog.
