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. Assaultrons' perception seems to be significantly higher than other enemies', making them nearly impossible to sneak up on and hack without using a Stealth Boy.

Characteristics
The assaultron's body seems to be modelled 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 lacks this ability, instead being 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, will deal very large amounts of damage to the player.

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.

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 side step, making them difficult to hit 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 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 spreading its arms outwards, typically resulting in a one-hit kill.

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.
