The synth component is a junk item in Fallout 4.

Characteristics[]

A small device of unknown function found only on Generation 3 synths. It can sometimes be found on corpses of settlers, indicating that they are synths, although it is not clear if they are agents of the Institute or escaped synths who have possibly been freed and memory-wiped by the Railroad.

Roslyn Chambers mentions that there is no physical way to tell a synth from a human without killing them, meaning that the component is located somewhere in the body where it is hidden from her tests. The synth component allows the Institute to "program" synths with vocal commands, as well as allowing the Railroad to memory-wipe freed synths.

Crafting[]

The synth component can be broken down into its components for crafting:

Notes[]

The synth component in Fallout 4 appears differently from the android component in Fallout 3, which has the model of a regular fuse. There is no indication as to whether or not these are the same type of component.
