the raiders aren't American, they're hostile unknowns; the US is dead and gone by that point; i spose you could say they're American by virtue of being on the North American continent tho; i have a feeling the IFF programming for the bot was based on the hostility of the target; molerats atked it, pew pew; raiders atked it, pew pew; the PC helped kill stuff, no pew pew

[@staringgasmask]

@@toshkokanzas it works like you say. I hacked it and I was able to move it to the castle without using any console commands to mess with the factions. Of course, if you incite it kills everything, but else it's friendly (just try to move Sarge resurrected to the Castle, it shoots at everything). So it probably works under direct order of the US Armed Forces or by hostile detection (many other sentry bots only obey the first one). This might have been a failed attempt of a robot takeover of Anchorage, just killing Chinese people with 0 civilian casualties, but the Power Armor left it obsolete, so they adapted it to engage in urban areas in China, as I guess the military didn't give a crap about civilians' lifes, they made the bot this way to increase the efficiency. Then they developed the Annihilator MK II with artillery capabilities and this anti-infantry sentry was outdated. IIRC this had similar stats to the Annihilator MK I sentry bot, so they might have been close developements

[@callithasmed8468]

The bot wasn't disposed of. It was a plant, a sleeper soldier to be activated under certain contingencies. The USAF TOS bureaucracy on the tape seemed consistent with this. This is why it has pre-programmed defense targets that were critical to US military operations. Chances are, whoever would have activated this protocol died before they could execute it.

[@ArphaliaMeyer]

Agreed here, lore wise, though from a gameplay perspective I think its just meant to be a tool to safely get to those locations to get them on your map early, and also get to Diamond city if youre having trouble. However, I wonder about something. Theres another location...Watts Consumer Electronics perhaps? Where you uncover that the employees were planning to steal robots being shipped there, most of which were protectrons. Could this be connected in some way? Perhaps the Sentry was a prototype meant to be on display for potential customers and they stole it instead?

[@marhawkman303]

Yeah this seems most likely. The #1 question is why drop off an INTACT robot? If it was actually being disposed of there's no reason to not wipe it's programming. Especially if you have something to hide, which these guys clearly did. AND if it was Chinese who wanted to steal it's technical secrets, they'd have dismantled it. Possibly even taken it to China in pieces.

[@skyacaniadev2229]

@@marhawkman303 And if the Chinese want to really steal the technology, they'll probably re-assemble it after dismantle it, and re-programming, to have some first-hand experience on. Also, it could be just because it was too difficult to send it back even in pieces (just like in real world), they dismantle, record, draw schematics, then re-assemble and disguised as US officials to dispose it. Though, Bethesda might not even think this far, it is just Oxhorn doing a better job here.

MrHuntHunt The lore is good but the execution is terrible, if they want us to read computer entries at least make it more interesting, hacking computers in this game is boring and reading things that have no consequence in story or gameplay is bad game design at least they should make the places more interesting so we get curious enough to read and look for the information to get some closure in stories told by level design.

Sentry bot: "must kill enemies of the us military." Oxhorn: sweating in his Chinese stealth suit

[@Kryssy128]

I feel like this might have actually been an easter egg by bethesda. They had to have tested AI pathing, and such, and the sentry bots pathing here is....garbage. Maybe this was meant to show an early version of the sentry bot enemy in fallout 4, that simply didnt work. Its pathing was bad, it overheated so much it wasn't really a threat (wait a few seconds, peek out, shoot, repeat) and the 'men in black' were meant to represent bethesda scrapping this version of the sentry bot and its AI, because it simply wasn't hard. the fact that the majority of locations you send it to simply don't work reinforces this theory. Any robot would be able to handle military installations, but this sentry bot doesnt seem to go near, it goes into the 'area' and then turns around. Sure, its a pretty far out there theory, but I like to think of it as the right one.

[@jondw]

Now that you mention it look at all the other desposed robots, they could all be glitches Bethesda had in regard to robots.

I love it how you sum up fallout 4 in one sentence : "you can get a fat man and a mini nuke right after walking out of sanctuary."

[@BrainboxccGames]

If you hadn't noticed, they've been making games like this for years. You get a fat-man and ONE mini-nuke. It's classic carrot and stick game design. At the start, give the character a little of everything to give them a taste of what they can work towards: A power armour frame with only two pieces on it, with one fusion core good to last about one fight, one fat man with one mini nuke, good to last one shot, a minigun with a few rounds, good to kill a scripted deathclaw. I don't know about you, but these things have mostly sat in my settlement at red rocket for most of the game and now i'm level 41. I only put on the power armour to go into the glowing sea (and then got the hell out of dodge ASAP). The 'show them the full power you can attain then take it all away' can be used well, so long as the rest of the mini nukes and fusion cores are half the map away guarded by enemies you can't get to for a long time. My next step after leaving sanctuary was to hug the top of the map and go as far east as i could, almost as far as the coast. I had to be very careful not to disturb any of the high level enemies, and what do you know, got eaten by a radscorpion on my way back at level 3. C'est la vie...

i think you answered your own question. the prototype sentry was to protect the disposal site and dissuade on lookers from what really was going on with the arm less protections. if you recall at the secret robo brain facility had a RB-2851 SECURITY PROTOCOL 087 Epsilon-VI Security Alert in it's registry (robot janitor uprising) and plan of action for a reason. i believe these protections are remnants of an uprising from the facility that happened almost monthly! getting so bad that a dedicated sentry bot (old/retired or brand new and faked it's age) was sent to each disposal site where the rogue robot Janitors went in-case of accidental reactivation or a disposal employ trying to score a free robot using scrap parts and the rouge janitor started attacking again.

[@marhawkman303]

Maybe... but that doesn't explain what it was programmed to do.

[@AndrewConlan]

2:30 i always thought that guy was killed by the MIB, seeing as he was warned not to use the holotape by his fellow workers, i'm getting that idea since the holotape is still plugged into the terminal and there's a spatter of blood above it, like he was shot for using the tape.

[@dksilverwing]

This exactly, the bloodspatter and the location of the skeleton suggests that the person was shot by the terminal, likely for messing with that holotape.

[@RedShocktrooperRST]

My guess is after the bombs dropped, the person tried to activate it to try and use the sentry to defend themselves. There's no indication that the skeleton belongs to a worker, after all, and a deactivated sentry bot can only look intimidating. Maybe they were killed by raiders, or in the immediate post war, people going around lynching people who looked Chinese? If that was the case they probably would've gotten shot, and looters have long since picked apart nearly everything else. Probably fairly hastily, because for all they know the sentry bot is active.

I think the people that left it there were FBI or DIA; the bot was put in an unassuming yard where no one would be surprised to see a deactivated sentry bot, with the knowledge that in the event of a Chinese invasion from the air, the sentry could be quickly reactivated using the holotape by a dispatched agent and sent to a military position to protect it. This provides a quick response and gives the military more time to reinforce themselves or move more sentry bots to areas of interest-who knows, maybe the sentry bots you see randomly around the world are robots like this who’s eroded circuits caused them to go AWOL?

I came here just a minute ago and noticed you completely missed 2 details that you of all people wouldn't have normally missed! You didn't make any mention of the blood spatter on the wall and the blood on the keyboard. You usually wonder why there's a skeleton in the room and what may have ended their lives. Usually when a person is vaporized or overly irradiated they dont' bleed so profusely that they get blood spattered and smeared in very specific spots ;) Some people will say even the last entry seems forced. I think someone was shot in the back of the head when they were sitting in the chair then the body was probably pushed to the side onto the toolbox and then whomever shot the employee ended up leaving an entry themselves with their victim's blood still on their hand, who knows for what reason, to plant evidence? maybe to really freak out the other employee? I personally think the DIA really was behind the murder, pretty sure those 2 employees would've picked up on the fact the people they were dealing with in the suits were chinese, kinda easy compared to picking out a soviet spy lol. If I had to guess, I would suggest that because this robot was actually being smuggled by the DIA in order to move their new secret weapon without picking up too much attention. Think about it, how did these employees deal with the junk? They clearly aren't a facility equipped for scrapping anything but merely a dump site for discarded robots, those discarded robots need to be moved to a processing facility of some sort so that they can be stripped down, parts melted down and recycled into new products. So my guess is, the DIA put this sentrybot there so that a contracted truck picks up the scrap aka the sentry bot go to have it "recycled" meaning, nobody would even remotely think to suspect a civilian truck meant for scrap and garbage. I think they put it where they put it so that the least amount of eyes would see it until it would eventually make its debut in the war, but then of course that wouldn't happen cuz major loud bang bang death cloud happened which made such things quite difficult and fairly pointless. The problem is, it's hard to tell just what the big deal was for this sentry because we never really do get to see what makes it so different other than just being generally bigger than the other sentrybots, the scripting is very simple and doesn't accomplish anything other than having it follow waypoints, I'm sure there was something planned for it at some point but it never really got there probably because it was such a small little sidequest, not much lore to be gained from it and on the surface looks like it was a way to test some scripts in the commonwealth.

There are several broken bots you run into - maybe originally the plan was to give you the ability to fix them (with the Robotics perk), and thats how you got your own robots, but then that got turned into Automaton instead and the rest is just 'ghosts in the Shell' (stray bits of code they left in).

You make me see Fallout in a completely different way, I never used to fully explore some of the Misc Locations, but after watching your vids I find myself slowly crawling round the wastes, searching every little crack, scouting for a new story to uncover! You make the Fallout series worth revisiting!!! Thanks Ox!!!

[@spookatzz]

Navigation issues might mean it's missing systems. Which also means it might have had parts stolen. Which also means the sentry bot itself was stolen which leads to the Chinese Spies theory.

[@cerealdoggo8390]

Myself i activated the robot and i got scared that it would kill me so i pressed the self destruction button

[@kahvanhadwin8361]

Oxhorn, he probably got out of the suit because he used up the power core.

[@mikoto7693]

That's what I thought. Power core ran out so he popped out of the armour and sucuumbed to the radiation of the bombs dropping.

[@marigoldjongleur]

i doubt a fusion core would actually run out of power in the timespan of a couple hours but they do because game mechanics

[@exavierf3437]

Maybe the ventilation in the suit failed so he popped out of the suit due to intense heat?

[@ducediablo]

He probably died crawling to it as it fell out during the crash, but the developers can't or don't put things in logical . places at times

[@Andri474]

[@ThillerKillerX]

Pretty much every fallout 4 video he does.

[@ducediablo]

Sometimes that's a good thing for a unique game for all. Good ol imagination .

[@natsume-hime2473]

The most likely explanation is that the Prototype didn't perform nearly as well as hoped, so they sent it off to be scrapped. It's possible the upgrades they attempted made the performance worse than that of a standard Sentry bot. It's also possible that it was an out dated model of sentry bot by the time they sent it off to the scrap yard. Being that a new sentry bot, with upgrades already, was probably the cheaper, or more convenient solution to upgrading the old prototype.

[@Anyienk9]

Except that it´s actually the strongest Sentry bot in the whole game.....

[@404notalive]

I find it hilarious as to how it survived the blasts when the bombs fell.

For me, that was my first T-51 Power Armour, it was only the chest and helmet and I came by it from the front, so the crash site was behind it which was pretty neat. I think the guy beside the power armour was about to get in when he was killed by the bombs, it makes more sense than him getting out.

[@adampender3685]

You missed a few things like the dead skeleton next to the terminal that had the blood spray on the wall most likely someone killed them for playing with the sentrybot, also the robot said "and/or" which suggest the military was to be protected above civilians, even from civilians.

[@cristiancollins9947]

[@GamerBob123]

Cristian Collins it can be

[@chrisschoenthaler5184]

I go to the Robotics Disposal Yard early in every play through of Fallout 4, but I’ve never noticed the fat man or the mini nuke. How did I miss both of those every single time? On another note, I personally support the Chinese spies theory. In fact, that also explains why we find a fusion core and a military grade circuit board in the chest next to the prototype. Both of these are examples of technology that China would be interested in, but which would be difficult to smuggle out of the country. (In survival mode, fusion cores have a weight of 4, placing them between a desk fan and a typewriter in terms of burden.)

[@Mahkwa]

I think Mike was working with whatever group that dropped off the sentry bot. The bot was dropped off as that was a central point between those 4 areas, and it was to be activated and remotely controlled to kill someone specific. When Dillan looked into the holotape and learned it was commissioned by the military (due to the top header that wasn't redacted), Mike had to do his job.

[@BakaTomCat]

1:49 lootable red flying helmet on the other pilot on his seat.

[@tony62197]

Its a brown flight helmet , one of the rarest head gears in the game. For me using mods on ps4 to put armor over under armor then get Macredys outfit, combat armor pieces bos colors, with that helmet its my most favorite outfit in the game. Also put balistic weave mark 4 on all pieces ,again another mod and its more powerful than power armor. Also able to put legenday effects on all pieces and my guy is OP . Had a car explode right next to me in Survival mode by a fatman as well it barely scrached me . Just lacking that rad resistance but still managed to get over 100 RR for the outfit.

Who owned it? Redacted makes me think the Enclave... MIB makes me think the Enclave...

[@razakeldrukata6502]

Enclave is a prewar institution, a collection of defense contractors company execs government officials military personnel scientific staff. Theyre effectively a secret society and paramilitary group. There is evidence of them everywhere. Station Enclave was financed and retrofitted by them. They got the vault initiative off the ground. They got the mariposa and fev operation going. And more.

[@jamesgrimwood1285]

When I found that sentrybot, the stupid thing got stuck going down the road, glitched out and vanished. It didn't teleport to another nearby location, it just went *blip* and disappeared.

[@GelatinousCube-jw8vg]

I’d like to think that just a pair of random civilians stole a sentry bit from a military base and then got cold feet about keeping it so needed a quick way to get rid of it without any questions. Both of them dressed in suits and acted mysterious and coded a holotape to back up their story.

I know but only if you hit the mini nuke. but hitting the item in world does nothing except waste ammo.

that's kinda how real nukes work though, shooting them before they're armed does nothing, and shooting them when they're armed disarms them, nukes of any size only explode when they're set to explode

2:15 this is always my first destination when I play FO4, since I always play high int low end. I usually walk it back to red rocket, then head to starlight to get a core, pick up the suit again and head to the depository to get more cores and loot the power armor there. After that I never really have trouble finding more cores. (Yes, I avoid Preston as much as possible)

[@connorbutters8479]

I think that the MKIV was a type of sentry which could have commands sent to it via portable devices, without a charging Dock, that explains the holotape. The trade off was a tendancy to overheat a lot. It may have been designed as a front line assault combatant as opposed to a sentry.

The robotics disposal ground was my first stop after getting out of the vault. On the way there I had somehow attracted the attention of 2 Mirelurks. I raced to the disposal ground and ran into the building with the computer and activated the Sentrybot. The Mirelurks hesitated about coming after me at this point when they saw the robot, but they decided to take the chance and the robot beat the shit out of them.

[@tkrieger2926]

What power armor can you get at level 32 if the power armor is leveled

[@matthewdevine5270]

Level 28 is when X-01 power armor starts to spawn; however, if you have already been close enough to a power armor spawn point then whatever level you were when you passed by would spawn either T-45, T-51, or T-60 power armor depending on how high or how low level you are in that order T-45 being the lower level armor that spawns. So I recommend you only grab like 1 or 2 suits of T-45 then wait for like level 20 to grab some T-51, T-60 is super common and all you need to do is either kill a B.O.S. Knight, join the B.O.S., or go to the atom cats with about 2000 caps because you can buy a full suit of T-60 with their special paint job, each piece is like 250 caps or so except the torso which is like 350 caps. so don't hunt too many suits early just grind a few quests until you are level 28 for that sweet X-01 armor (just be warry of the mission "the big dig" because you can get a suit of leveling power armor there near the beginning that requires sonya the eyebot who will not be available by the end of the quest, it's an easy few X-01 parts if you have the patience to wait till level 28, also there is 2 suits of X-01 in nuka world btw 1 is a Mk3 X-01 hidding in the power plant)

xXDARKSPEEDERXx GAMING I didn't know you could get the cores by destroying it.

[@bigjoe4243]

Ignoring the wartime espionage done by the Chinese in the Fallout universe, the sentrybot prototype could be a government sanctioned knockoff by General Atomics. Since Robco has the patent for the regular sentrybot, they could dictate the price. If the United States military could get General Atomics the ability to make their own copies, with the sentrybot prototype as being the proof-of-concept to General Atomics' capabilities, they could get better prices. The sentrybot's overheat, which people tell me is too fast, could be proof that someone other than Robco made it. General Atomics is the only other major robotics company in the USA. Maybe the scheme ended when the sentrybot was deemed inferior in quality. Maybe the cause of the faster overheat was a stronger energy system that outpaced the Robco design. Maybe if the Great War hadn't happened, General Atomics may have rolled out a hybrid Mister Gutsy/Sentrybot hybrid. Imagine that, a floating sentrybot with a gattling laser or a gauss gun. Disclaimer: This is all speculation. I have never done in-depth research into Fallout lore and am only voicing an idea that seemed plausible.
