“With the Robotics Expert perk, you do an additional 25% damage to any robot. Also, sneaking up on a hostile robot undetected and activating it will put that robot into a permanent shutdown state.”— in-game description
Robotics Expert is a Fallout 3 and a Fallout: New Vegas perk.
Effects
Grants an extra 25% damage dealt to robots. Also, entering sneak mode and activating a robot permanently shuts it down.
Notes
- Deactivating a robot awards 10 exp points (Fallout: New Vegas only).
- A deactivated robot cannot be targeted in V.A.T.S. However, the unit can still take damage, and destroying one will give the same experience and loot as normal. Every attack on a deactivated robot while sneaking will register as a "sneak attack critical," regardless of the player's location or level.
- Making contact with a deactivated robot while sneaking may still alert other robots in the vicinity to the player's presence, just as if the robot were fully active.
- You cannot disable a robot who only goes unconscious.
- When you are given the option to disable a sentry bot, it also gives the option to "talk" to the robot, as if you were interacting with a friendly robot, such as Wadsworth. However, you cannot engage the robot in conversation.
- For deactivating a robot using the perk, it is sufficient to be crouched and behind it. As opposed to the perk's description, it is not necessary to be [HIDDEN], i.e. close up and unnoticed. You can in fact charge a hostile robot, crouch, circle strafe and disable it while it is circling about weapons blazing.
- Automated turrets are scripted as robots and can be disabled with this perk. While in many cases they are out of reach, ceiling-mounted turrets can be disabled if the player is able to reach them by jumping while crouched.
- When sneaking up on a robot with this perk, if "talk" is selected, it talks to you and does not attack you. (e.g. A sentry bot, when the talk selection is selected, it will say "Do not interfere with security operations.")
- Sergeant RL-3 can be disabled with this perk.
- Deactivating a robot will not cause any of its allies in the vicinity to turn hostile.
- Big MT Protectrons often can not be disabled. An example is Mk6 protectrons in Big MT West Tunnels at high levels.
Robots that can be disabled

- You can program Dean Dewey to let you pass.
- You can disable Cerberus's combat inhibitor causing him to attack the ghouls and yourself in Underworld.
- You can force Button Gwinnett to shut down, allowing you to grab the Declaration of Independence.
- You can program Milo in the Nuka-Cola plant to think you are an employee.
- You can bypass the RobCo facility section of the Wasteland Survival Guide quest while getting full credit for the job.
