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.

Master Your Aim: Why Every FPS Gamer Needs a Mouse Sensitivity Converter

Say goodbye to floaty aiming and missed flick shots. Here is how math—and a simple tool—can keep your muscle memory razor-sharp across every shooter you play. Whether you are dropping into Valorant for a quick competitive match, warming up in Counter-Strike 2 , or grinding ranked in Apex Legends , every FPS player shares a common goal: hitting shots with absolute precision . Yet, millions of gamers run into a frustrating wall every time they launch a new title—their crosshair feels floaty, sluggish, or way too fast. The problem isn't your mouse, your mousepad, or your skill. The problem is that in-game sensitivity numbers are completely different across game engines . A 1.0 sensitivity in Valorant is dramatically faster than a 1.0 in CS2 or Apex Legends . "Your arm muscles don't learn slider numbers—they learn physical distance on your mousepad. Converting your sensitivity protects hours of built...

Blood, Salt, and Unconditional Love: Why Sam and Dean Winchester Transcended Television

When Supernatural debuted on television screens back in 2005, it posed as a gritty, urban-legend-of-the-week horror show. Two brothers in a black 1967 Chevy Impala riding down dark American backroads, hunting ghosts, wendigos, and demons. But as the seasons turned into a fifteen-year legacy, viewers realized the monsters were never the main plot. The true heartbeat of the show was an intense, unwavering bond between two brothers willing to tear down heaven and earth for each other. "There is no me without you. I'm telling you, raised by a hunter, lived like one my whole life... I wouldn't trade it for anything. But if it means losing you? I can't do it." — Dean Winchester More Than Fighting Evil: The Connection We Long For In a world built on fleeting relationships, social media connections, and conditional dynamics, Sam and Dean offered something modern humanity rarely glimpses: absolute, radical devotion . They were flawe...
