The following is based on the Wild Wasteland trait. |
Walking eye is a spying robot produced by the Big MT company. They have a spider form with four metallic legs and a white spherical body.
Background
The walking eye is a prototype robot constructed in the Big Mountain Research and Development Center in the magnetohydraulics complex. It is a four-legged, spider-like robot similar to the Chinese spider drone with a white spherical body containing a graduated eye inside. They are used for espionage and surveillance, and to this end they can climb walls and hang from ceilings for seemingly indefinite periods of time.
Locations
In 2281, there are still four known functional walking eyes remaining in Big MT, all stuck in the magnetohydraulics complex.
Notes
They cannot be targeted in V.A.T.S., destroyed, searched, or moved.
Appearances
Walking eyes appear only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues if the player has the Wild Wasteland trait.
Behind the scenes
Walking eyes are a reference to an episode of The Venture Bros. entitled Fallen Arches, where Dr. Venture, voice acted by James Urbaniak whom also plays Doctor 0, uses his prototype walking eye as a lure to attract the attention of supervillains. This robot is, in turn, a parody of the walking eye robots in the Jonny Quest cartoon series.
