Mister Gutsy (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Mister Gutsy is a variant of robot found in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. It is the military model of the much more common civilian Mister Handy model.

Gameplay
They cannot use both weapons simultaneously and will always switch to their flamer when their target is in range. Nearby explosions or anything crippling its thruster can temporarily knock it out of the air, giving the player time to strike it down. Mister Gutsies are more resistant to bullets than other robots.

Hardened
Found guarding the crashed vertibird in the southern Mojave, along with Hardened Sentry Bots. Their HP exceeds a regular Mister Gutsy's by fifty points and they have 10 Strength, double that of the average Mister Gutsy.

Prototype
Salvaged by prospectors and reprogrammed for use by private individuals, such as the one located in a house in Nipton. This Mister Gutsy has already claimed the life of a legionary, and is immediately hostile when entering the house. According to notes on a terminal in the same house, the resident at that time had repaired the robot in order to impress any potential new women in town. Another prototype may be found inside the solar collection tower at HELIOS One at lower levels.

Mr Steel
Mr Steels are Mister Gutsy robot derivatives found in New Vegas Steel. Essentially re-painted as Mister Handy robots, they still come complete with plasma projectors and have 100 HP and 25 Damage Threshold, making them very durable opponents. They use the same skin as a standard Mister Handy.

Mark series (Old World Blues)
The Mister Gutsy Mark series only appear in the add-on Old World Blues. The series runs from Mark 1 to Mark 6, with the exception of Mark 2, which does not appear. The Mark series in Big MT have increased speed and durability. Two or three types may appear at once.

Behind the scenes
The quote "There's nothing better than the smell of fresh plasma in the morning" is a reference to the quote "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" from Apocalypse Now.
