Swarmbot

The swarmbot is a type of robot encountered in the Commonwealth in the Fallout 4 add-on Automatron.

Characteristics
Swarmbots are based on the Robobrain frame, though capable of hovering due to the Mister Handy thruster mounted below them, and are frequently encountered in groups, as their name implies.

Largely armed with automatic weapons, they are quickly capable of tearing down an unaware player. However, they are quite quick, and will frequently move into melee range while enjoying ranged support from the automated forces they travel alongside.

Variants
The Mechanist's automatrons are cobbled together from a wide variety of components taken from five different robot models. Swarmbots are no exception and come equipped with various, arms, heads and weapons configurations. However, they always utilise the Robobrain chassis, and the Mister Handy thruster for locomotion. Regardless of their component makeup, swarmbots are always labelled simply "swarmbot" without any distinguishing designation.

Locations

 * Several are present during the Mechanical Menace mission, alongside several junkbots and eyebots in the attack on Ada and her companions.
 * Many also spawn inside the General Atomics factory during A New Threat.

Bugs

 * Swarmbots' heads have abnormally high hit chances in VATS, often being 95% even at long ranges.

Appearances
Swarmbots appear only in Automatron.
