Bethesda Softworks had initially announced that the first paid expansion pack for "Fallout 4" would come out later this month, without more specifics on the gameplay except that the DLC would be about robots.
According to Game Informer, the DLC may arrive soon after a 100-point boost was included in the game's achievements, from the previous 1000 points to 1100 points. The report unveiled that the 100 extra points will involve five diverse achievements, which gamers must attain to get points.
"Automatron," the first paid DLC of the game is looming. Initially, there was a leak of the names for the five achievements without more details except for the tag "Robots, robots and more robots."
In the upcoming DLC, a new villain character, Mechanist, is introduced, and he is said to control the entire army of evil robots. Robobrain is one of the robots created by Mechanist, and he is a fiercely looking robot with a big brain. However, players can use the robot parts to create their own robots to defeat Mechanist.
The DLC's official description via Gamespot reads, "Choose from hundreds of mods; mixing limbs, armor, abilities, and weapons like the all-new lightning chain gun."
Furthermore, gamers can customize the color scheme of their robot and even add a voice for it. With regard to the gameplay, players should complete five achievements, three of which are linked to the plot missions. The publication pointed out that one of the achievements, "Robot Hunter" for 20 points, requires the gamer to unlock 10 Robot mods.
The next mission, "Restoring Order" for 20 points is linked to the "Restoring Order" story mission. Other missions include "Mechanical Menace" for 20 points and "Headhunting" for 20 points.
Gamers can achieve "The Most Toys" achievement for 20 points by building 10 Robot mods. The publication revealed accompanying artwork for the achievement.
