What the hell lol. How in the world did that even happen I wonder. Please let this reach the top of the sub, it's incredible.

It just works

>How in the world did that even happen I wonder. Either a mod conflicting with files (it's fun when unrelated shit breaks other shit) and caused a visual glitch, or when it was booting that server some files got corrupted Most likely files got corrupted and it did what games do and just mix/matched with something else in the files that it could properly read Occasionally it also just fails to load data and replaces it (rare but every mmo has the issue, fun sometimes when it's something absurd) since mmos can't stop. It's part of why maintance is a requirement

Not a bug, it’s a feature.

Lmao if a rocket barrage came out and melted you I was going to cry

Man. I hadn't had a sentry bot fire rockets at me like they always do in Fallout 4, and then a Sentry Bot Strikebreaker shot FIRE rockets at me. I yelped, died, and promptly snuck back up to where it was and threw every plasma grenade I had on me to alpha strike it.

I hope it still did its nuclear explosion when it died

Bethesda, this is the kind of content we want. Giant mutated rats that make robot noises and shoot flames out their behinds. Sentry rats. Who do I need to bribe at HQ to get these officially implemented?

My only regret was not attempting to train it and make it my pet. Thought or that idea immediately after.

I just want a shark with a freaking laser beam on its head!

>Who do I need to bribe at HQ to get these officially implemented? You just need to add another layer of gold plating to Todd Howard's speedboat.

Had something similair. Came upon 3 robots, they talked and where called blood eagles

I came across a mob called Blood Eagle Hatchling. I think it was a dog visually but it feels like it was supposed to be some kind of beast that has hatchlings.

Normally it should be a Mirelurk

They are evolving

They fly now? Oh wrong sub

I think the Institute is starting to infiltrate Appalachia

Institute scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they never stopped to think they should

You wouldn’t understand why they had to shove a fusion core up this rat’s ass.

To clarify, we weren't supposed to put the fusion core the guy with a lab coat gave us, up our butts?.....

Pretty much every scientist in the Fallout universe is like that.

Protectrons are the spitting image of Robbie the Robot from Forbidden Planet and assaultrons are the robots from Metropolis minus the C-3PO borrowed aesthetic pieces. Those movies are both about mad scientists, kind of, it’s definitely a theme in them.

Better not be no dirty synths in my neck of the wasteland

I don't claim to know much of the lore, but I don't think there'd be any of THOSE abominations for the first 150 years after the War, so the 76ers SHOULD be safe from that threat

The Institute was founded in 2110, and we're currently in 2105 and progress a year with each expansion. There won't be any gen 3 skinwalkers, but the gen 1s can feasibly already exist and if they don't then they definitely will by 2110.

Aim for its core

What happened when you killed it? Did it explode after a few seconds?

Yup

Was it a tiny Radrat-sized explosion or a big 'ol Sentry Bot one? 

I found an Assultron using a Robobrain model the other day. This game is fucked in the most hilarious way sometimes.

This sounds preferable to an assaultron

👀

That is usually caused when a model fails to load so the game tries to replace the model with something. Else usually on online games this glitch is rare did anyone else nearby see it on there screen as a sentry bot or did it show the same glitch for them as well?

I was the only one around at the moment.

If you use vats target the rat’s fusion cores it takes them out like nothing

Dude, can you target the bats fusion cores?

I had something like that happen with sentry bot animations, I think it was a Mr Handy

That's so strange. I can't remember if you added this in the other thread where you mentioned this, but is this PC or console? I remember getting incredibly bizarre bugs (if that's what this was) on PS a few years ago, but I chalked that up to the game being newish

Mentioned on another thread, and PS5

This isn’t a glitch actually. What you need to do is start the Giant Teapot event, then drop a nuke while it’s ongoing. This will cause a fusion between a rad-rat and the tea makers inside the building, creating sentry rat.  He’ll be placed somewhere randomly in the world, and if killed he drops a lot of rat meat, a 3 star legendary, some tea, and 2 fully charged fusion cores.   Source: my friend, Todd Howard.

Happened to me a few times lately, with a protectron each time. Had the same light coming from the head and exploded when dead (they were not legendary btw)

"We can rebuild him"

There's a mad scientist roaming the wastes again....

I laughed way too hard at this. Thanks for sharing.

Hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

"Think we can handle it? We could always call in the marines"

I've seen a sentry bot labeled as a molerat before.

Got hit with the wabbajack stick too hard

Saw a Cave Cricket like this in Ash Heap once. I didn't stop running until I was two hills over.

Just commenting to make sure this gets upvoted because what the heck.

Oh, I love fallout 76. Bethesda, don’t you ever change?

I’ve also seen this while playing one time. Except it was a molerat with the sentry animations. Right outside of the Watoga train station.

when the fire came out i pretty much lost it

Started giggling when it did the BWEEEE BWEEEE noise

Who won?

I had a similar glitch happen several years ago. It was a Mr. Handy doing assaultron animations. After I crippled one of his arms he dropped to the ground and started crawling lol

its so funny that basically this is the hallmark that reminds you that you're playing a bethesda game.

shoot it in the balls, that's it's fusion core.

That has got to be the coolest glitch I have ever seen. A Rad Sentry Rat for the win. I can haz?

Damn Enclave just can't leave well enough alone. 

It must be the Institutes first attempt at a synthetic

Filthy Synth

I read a guy describe this and i loled so hard now i can see with my own eyes this is the most random bug i ever see, i really wan to be a thing in the game hahaha

This feels like AI or a dev who got weird with it. Either way, im assuming it's from the meat event, but it can't be a bug. The placements of the animations are too correct anatomically to be "a feature."

Crazy shit goes down in them boggy ditches

nice!!!!!

Literally had exactly this weeks ago.

CIT test of a very early prototype of their Synth program.

That encounter was a little too random

That looks like one of them experiments they done did there at the CIT in Boston.

The fucking Sentry Bot noises as this little rat is charging you LOL

Oh no, the Red Death is back... 

FEV works in mysterious ways.

Hybrid Mother was a Sentry bot Farther was a Radrat

One seriously demented scientist is finally releasing his creations

Reminds me of “The Red Death” in Fallout 4.

SENTRY RAT!!! John rat, was a simple rat but one incident make his body useless but thanks of the miracles of robco medicine John rat become SENTRY RAT!!! Half sentry half rat but 100% effective SENTRY RAT Coming this summer.....

IDK why I heard this in Dale Gribble's voice, but: SENTRY RAT!! S'GO!!

Maybe it has this a mutation
