Deputy Weld

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

Effects of player actions

 * Deputy Steel will replace Deputy Weld if he is killed (unless Broken Steel is installed).
 * If you decide to destroy Megaton, Deputy Weld's faceplate will survive the atomic explosion and continue to welcome people to Megaton, albeit in a garbled manner, and state that the bomb is safe. The faceplate can be dragged around.
 * 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 he is killed.

Notable quotes

 * "Welcome to Megaton. The bomb is perfectly safe, we promise. Please hold for threat level assessment. Threat level minimal. Open the gates. Open the gates. Welcome to Megaton."
 * "Welcome to Megaton. Friendliest town around."
 * "Y'all better be careful with that thar weapon, ya hear?"
 * "Thirsty partner? Try Moriarty's. Coldest drinks in the Capital Wasteland."
 * "Need some grub partner? Try the Brass Lantern."

Bugs

 * In Broken Steel, if Deputy Weld is killed in the firefight between Megaton settlers and the Brotherhood of Steel soldiers accompanying the water caravan, he may later be found wandering the wastes in the vicinity of Megaton, still saying "Welcome to Megaton."
 * Even if you have not blown up Megaton, Deputy Weld could yet be found dead back out the front of Megaton.
