Unlike the previous versions, the Commonwealth variants have several different weapon configurations installed, including but not limited to assault rifle and laser weapon mounts. Also, their bodies, eyes, arms can now be broken in combat.
Gameplay attributes
Mister Gutsy robots have several targetable sections, including the torso, right eye, mid eye, left eye, combat inhibitor, thruster and the arms. Breaking all of the arms on a mister Gutsy will result in it attempting a suicide rush on the Sole Survivor. The right and middle eye are targeted more easily with the Killshot perk in V.A.T.S., but not the left eye. If any of the eyes are broken, the Mister Gutsy's firing accuracy will suffer and disabling the thruster will slow it down and remove its strafing ability. Unlike previous Fallout renditions, its weapon layout is varied, similar to the sentry bot; the guns can vary from a 10mm machine gun to a laser weapon or sometimes a flamer, and the damage output also varies between models.

Mr. Gutsy
Despite its somewhat adequate health pool and low Damage Resistance, the Mister Gutsy is still a force to be reckoned with, as its 10mm machine gun is capable of shredding low-level player characters and even power armor equipped player characters in seconds.
This variant can be found aboard the Prydwen in the science section assisting Senior Scribe Neriah, and is especially protective of the plants in that section.
Similar to the original Mister Gutsy, however, it has a moderately accurate (and moderate damage) laser weapon in place of a 10mm machine gun and a much larger hitpoint pool as well as higher stats concerning damage resistances.

There are several level and faction dependent variations which may be equipped with different weaponry, such as lasers, Gunner Gutsy armed with the same 10mm machine gun as turrets, or several military versions with either the 10mm machine gun or an unidentified single shot weapon dealing moderate damage.
Unlike the Mister Handy models, the Mister Gutsy favors ranged combat over close combat. If engaged in close combat, it will behave like a Mister Handy, but it will try to break for cover at the first chance.
Like many other enemies, a neutral Mister Gutsy will turn hostile if looked at while the player is wearing power armor with a targeting HUD mod installed.
