Fallout 4: Automatron (DLC Review)

Bethesda Game Studios has released new DLC for Fallout 4 entitled Automatron. The DLC is the first in a series of add-ons for Fallout 4 that includes Automatron, Wasteland Workshop, and Far Harbor.


In Fallout 4: Automatron players are faced with the crisis of a horde of evil robots wreaking destruction in Commonwealth at the hands of the mysterious Mechanist. The army of robots, including the evil Robobrain, must be hunted down so you can take their parts and create your own custom robot companions.

Gamers will be able to pick from hundreds of various mods with the ability to mix limbs, armor, abilities, and weapons. One of the weapons that you can create includes the lightning chain gun which really adds a high degree of immersion to the already fun gameplay in Fallout 4. After trying out the various mods, for characters level 15 or higher, you can even customize their paint schemes and choose their voices.

The new DLC is a fantastic addition to the already addicting gameplay of Fallout 4. The ability to create your own custom robot that can be modded to your own specifications was something that any die-hard Fallout fan could appreciate. While Dogmeat was a great companion, he just didn't compare to my Clap3P0, a wonderful creation that combined some of the best elements of two of my favorite robots: Claptrap and CP30.

By utilizing the Fallout 4: Automatron robot workbench, I was able to mix-n-match scrap materials that were just lying around to create a template for my future robot army of Clap3P0s. While the Automatron DLC allows you to create your own custom companion, it isn't something that is really necessary with all the companions that already exist in Fallout 4.

Fallout 4: Automatron isn't just about creating your own custom robot companion but also features a two hour quest that leads you to a distressed robotic companion by the name of Ada. The Mechanist's robot army has destroyed all of Ada's friends and you are tasked with venturing across new areas where you will pick up some cool new weapons and armor along the way.

In the end, Fallout 4: Automatron is a great DLC pack that gives gamers some fun robot-themed content to explore and enjoy. I greatly enjoyed creating my new robot companion Clap3P0 and can't wait to take him on all kinds of new adventures throughout Commonwealth.
