Deputy Steel

Deputy Steel is a Mister Gutsy military combat drone that guards the armory of Megaton. If Deputy Weld, the lighter Protectron robot, is destroyed, Deputy Steel will assume his post. He will also show up if the player attacks Deputy Weld.

If the player enters the armory in Megaton he will become hostile.

If you have a science skill 75+, you can deactivate him using the computer terminal in the armory to avoid wasting ammo or getting hurt. If you use a Stealth Boy before entering, you can sneak over to the terminal undetected then loot the place without any conflict.

Appearances
Deputy Steel appears only in Fallout 3.

Note

 * Lucas Simms mentions Deputy Steel to Harden Simms (his son), saying something along the lines of "I noticed Deputy Steel was extra shiny today, you polished him up, didn't ya boy?"

Behind the scenes

 * When he dies, the phrase "I regret I have but one life to give to my country" is obviously a reference to the Revolutionary war hero Nathan Hale, who said the same thing before he was hanged by the British.
