Fisto

Fisto (Fully Integrated Security Technotronic Officer) is a protectron that may be reprogrammed to serve as a robotic prostitute in Cerulean Robotics in Freeside in 2281.

Background
The Fully Integrated Security Technotronic Officer (abbreviated to "Fisto" by the Courier for convenience) is unique and the only intact protectron robot located in the ruins of Cerulean Robotics. FISTO is an incomplete pre-War Protectron class security robot created by Cerulean Robotics. Using an operating system v. 0.6.0.3, Fisto can be reprogrammed to serve as a sexbot for the quest Wang Dang Atomic Tango, in which James Garret asks the Courier to find a sexbot for a "customer."

Quests
Wang Dang Atomic Tango: Fisto is the only robot that can be programmed as the sexbot needed to complete this quest for James Garret. The player can either use their own Science skills to reprogram it or purchase a program from Mick.

Other interactions

 * The player can have Fisto perform its sexual routine on them regardless of gender. The first time upon activiation is free, but once upon delivery to James Garret, each subsequent use costs 10 caps. Judging by the dialogue, it penetrates of cavities below the recipient's waist for an entire in-game hour with the screen going black for about five seconds and drilling sounds being played.
 * Although Fisto has a lot of health, it cannot use its lasers and has to rely on its unarmed skills for combat. As he suffers from a protectron's slow walking speed, this severely limits his offensive capabilities. This may lead to him getting killed by rats in the Robotics building. Plan accordingly.

Appearances
Fisto appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
Fisto was created by Robert Lee.

Bugs

 * After recruiting Fisto and returning to the Atomic Wrangler, speaking to it and declining its services will give the Courier 10 caps. This can be done as many times as desired. While only a small amount, it is a very convenient source of caps to gamble in the casino. The reason for this bug is that the answer he gives for declining his services is the same as the one he gives when the PC asks for a refund.
 * The Courier can program Fisto even without the holotape from Ralph in their inventory. After programming the sexbot, the holotape is still obtainable.
 * If the Courier talks to Fisto after telling him to go to the Atomic Wrangler (before he reaches it) he will say "protect and serve" in a very sharp or acute voice. However, if one attempts to pickpocket him, he will say "protect and serve" but in a deep voice.
 * It doesn't matter if the Courier is standing or crouching; Fisto will say "protect and serve" in a similar manner to Primm Slim, or in the regular Protectron tone.
 * After having sex with Fisto at the Atomic Wrangler, the Courier will be able to ask for its services. Upon entering the bedroom the only option will be giving up on sex and getting a refund.
 * Sometimes, Fisto won't activate even though the Courier has successfully hacked the computer. Since no other options are available, the player may have to reload a previous save.
 * Occasionally Fisto will not move after he is programmed, but when upon reaching the Atomic Wrangler he will be there.
 * Once Fisto has left the building, if the Courier tries to head to the Old Mormon Fort the game may start lagging heavily and eventually freeze, forcing one to restart the console.
 * Solution: Heading through a door leading to Freeside first and then heading to the Old Mormon Fort. This should prevent any lagging or freezing.
