Automatron DLC Starting Quest

After you’ve downloaded the add-on, check the main menu for the “Add-ons” option. If it’s not there, you’ll have to update the game. If it is there, you should see Automatron listed inside once you click it.

You’ll need to be at least level 15 to start the new quest chain. When you’ve met this requirement, a message will pop up, starting the Mechanical Menace quest and informing you of a new radio signal called Caravan Distress Call. Tune-in to the new frequency and you’ll receive a call for help which will take you on an epic journey.

The distress call comes from a member of a caravan under attack by robots east of Watts Consumer Electronics. When you go there and defeat the robots, the quest chain will start.

If the mission doesn’t begin, even though you’ve met the level requirements, you could try restarting the game and reloading the save file. Try another save game if the problem persists.

    The 20th level requirement is wrong. I’ve got two characters, one just reached about 16/17, the other is 12. I get the quest on the 16/17 character, but not yet on the 12th level one. So I’m thinking if they’re doing in fives, it’ll probably start at level 15.

    1. Thanks for the heads up, I’ve fixed it.

        Yeah, I can confirm it’s at level 15. My 17th level one got it and hadn’t done almost any of the main quest, and my 12th level got it at reaching level 15 while i was powerleveling. Don’t need to do anything but come out of the vault and be level 15 it looks like.
