Effects of player actions

• Deputy Steel will replace Deputy Weld if he is killed (unless Broken Steel is installed).
• If Megaton is destroyed, Deputy Weld's faceplate will survive the atomic explosion and continue to welcome people to Megaton, albeit in a garbled manner, and state that the bomb is safe.
• Deputy Weld can be deactivated by hacking a computer terminal in the Megaton armory. A skill of 75 Science is required to hack it and deactivate Deputy Steel. If the Robotics Expert perk is used to sneak-deactivate him, he still says his phrases and later on in the game will return to normal.
• Deputy Weld will respawn after a while if he is killed.
