A useful Collectron bot can stomp round and acquire junk for ya. If you select to purchase the brand new Communist Collectron although, chances are you’ll discover that your useful employee is extra involved with spreading Communism than amassing scraps for you.
The new Collectron variant is out there in Fallout 76’s Atom Store, the microtransaction store, together with another new communism-themed gadgets. At first, Communist Collectron is humorous. It’s an ungainly Fallout robotic that clunks round spitting out such kernels of knowledge as “break free from your chains” and “long live the revolution.” After you’ve had a kick out of its voice strains, you’ll be able to ship your new Collectron out to do its job: bringing again meals, water, and weapons to your camp.

Oh look, I don’t actually have a Collectron and I have already got some propaganda in my stash.
“PSA for the Communist Collectron: don’t expect to get loaded with weapons,” warns “FireRabbit67” on Reddit. “I played for a few hours (maybe 3-4) and only got 35-40 propaganda flyers and a single frag grenade.”
Another person responds to offer their very own Comrade Collectron stats: “I have gotten 20 ish tomato soups, 50+ propaganda posters, 2 frags, hunting rifle, and a shovel.”

With the heavy ratio of propaganda fliers to helpful gadgets, it looks like this metallic pal is definitely sending a message: acknowledge communism or stop your revenue off robotic labor. Well, besides that you may promote the propaganda flyers for caps. It’s the precept of the factor, possibly.
I hope somebody at Bethesda is having chuckle as a result of—supposed or not—that is precisely the satire I get pleasure from within the wasteland.
Don’t let the grasping vault dwellers silence you, Comrade Collectron!
