7. Synth

The scrappiest of scrap metal.

Chances are you’ll hear about synths before you see one. The boogeyman tale of being taken out and replaced by an Institute synth is a very real threat the survivors in the Commonwealth face. The older generations of synths appear more as robots made from scavenged parts and can easily be differentiated from humans.

Typically found patrolling the wastes or occupying facility interiors, synths are relatively fragile enemies that fight in groups. Their limbs can be broken off to incapacitate them. They attack with Institute laser weapons and take cover like humanoid gunmen. Higher leveled synths are equipped with advanced weaponry and bolstered by increased damage resistance.
