Eyebot (Fallout 4)

Eyebots are a type of robot found in the Commonwealth and Nuka-World in 2287.

Background
The variant seen in Fallout 4 appears to be specifically designed for reconnaissance and surveillance, but are still often used to broadcast information and propaganda. Both the Commonwealth Minutemen and Brotherhood of Steel sometimes utilize eyebots for such reasons.

Characteristics
Eyebots are floating, spherical robots with various antennas, a large speaker on their front ends and a small, very weak laser weapon mounted underneath. Encountered throughout the wasteland, they are broadcasting radio stations, pre-War advertisement loops or just static.

Gameplay attributes
Eyebots cannot be "activated" (spoken to or pickpocketed), but they can be killed or hacked via the Robotics Expert perk. They are one of the weakest enemies in the game and can generally be destroyed with a single hit from most weapons. Unlike the eyebots encountered in previous Fallout titles, eyebots in the Commonwealth do not explode upon death. They are also the only robots in ‘’Fallout 4’’ that cannot be created at the robot workbench.

Eyebot
The basic eyebot model. It can be seen roaming Diamond City and random places in the Commonwealth. One particular eyebot has a loudspeaker advertising jobs at Cambridge Polymer Labs.

Servomech eyebot
Servomech eyebots serve under the Mechanist and can be distinguished by their yellow paint scheme and additional front armor. They are low leveled and are easy to encounter. Some may carry and play the Mechanist holotape.

Cybermech eyebot
This eyebot also serves the Mechanist and uses a laser gun as a weapon to attack the Sole Survivor. Although it has pretty low health on lower difficulties, it may be hard to hit due to its erratic movement pattern.

Trashbot
During the final fight of Restoring Order, some variations of the eyebot may appear with the name of "Trashbot." These eyebots resemble the normal eyebot, but have rusted chassis and are significantly weaker.

Nuka-World eyebot
The basic eyebot model with a Nuka-World paint scheme. They can be found roaming Nuka-World, with especially large quantities in Galactic Zone.

Galactic Zone eyebot
A basic eyebot with a gold and white paint scheme encountered in areas of Nuka-World's Galactic Zone, most notably in the RobCo Battlezone.

Behind the scenes
