Deputy Weld

Deputy Weld is a protectron robot that guards the gate of Megaton in 2277.

Effects of player actions

 * Deputy Steel will replace Deputy Weld if he is killed.
 * If you decide to destroy Megaton, Deputy Weld's faceplate will survive the atomic explosion and continue to welcome people to Megaton, and state that the bomb is safe, albeit in a garbled manner.
 * Deputy Weld can be deactivated by hacking a Computer Terminal in in the Megaton Armory. A skill of 75 is required to hack it and you can also deactivate Deputy Steel. If you use the Robotics Expert perk to sneak-deactivate him, he still says his phrases and later on in the game will return to normal.
 * Deputy Weld will respawn after a while if you kill him.
