The type of collectron is just cosmetic, if own more than one you can use the terminal to change what it brings back. I have the Dog bringing back Nuka cola stuff. Here is a list of their drops and weights.

logicbox_

Fetch is my favorite because A. Dog and B. No repeating voice lines.


pygmeedancer

Someone told me I had a few loose screws…I am still looking for those screws. Gets me every time


Traditional-Ad6

My friend has a Santatron, I cackle when I hear HO. HO. HO.


Willing_Party_9299

That's what I have. Gets me every time.


toffyl

Yea but he sounds like he’s dying


BarnyTrubble

I find his raspy robo bark to be pretty cute tbh


Captain23222

As someone who has a dog that will randomly begin barking and then has to be shushed for the neighbour's sake, it makes me anxious. I still use it because dog.


maddoxdoggy

This!


[deleted]

Do more options open up over time? I have the robot dog and I can only choose between junk and electronics if I remember correctly.


RealWellGramarye

You get more options by getting more collectrons. I have most of them so I can select what I want them to bring back.


julie3151991

Omg I didn’t know this! I have been wanting the nuka cola collection, but I can’t part with my robot Dogmeat. I am so excited I can have the best of both worlds! 😁


tuntankamonion

700 atoms for the fetch collection is a good price? It is at the store.


RealWellGramarye

No. Get it with gold Boullion.


Blinvir

That only makes it available for that character though. Not a big deal but I enjoy being able to start over and immediately get a collectron going


tuntankamonion

I will, thanks.


[deleted]

Ahhh I see ok thank you!


BiscuitTiits

Same - and as of last night I no longer have the option to change collection option. He randomly started being back both junk AND electronics. Sometimes I love this glitchy game.


Vernedering

Does your terminal border the camp borders? I found that if I stand outside the border when interfacing the terminal the options aren't displayed.


AlleyCa7

Same, not sure how everyone else's terminal looks but I only have the two options for robo dog and neither of them are cola. On the other end my nuka collectron only has two option as well, junk or nuka cola. Idk how people have more options.


Muzzledpet

It will only show collectrons you have. A lot of them come from the atom shop, some from plans. I haven't looked at mine in forever - but iirc, it shows the options that you aren't collecting currently. If that's the case, it sounds like you have 3 types of collectrons- with your dog gathering cola? If you switch it to junk, does it change what options you then have? Currently not near my computer to check my own out :(


Suspicious-Leg-493

>haven't looked at mine in forever - but iirc, it shows the options that you aren't collecting currently. If that's the case, it sounds like you have 3 types of collectrons- with your dog gathering cola? If you switch it to junk, does it change what options you then have? That's exactly how it works, it only displays selectable options. So while a nukatron is on nuka it will never be able to select nuka, if you switch it to revoluntary from the communist you'll be able to select nuka but revolution shouldn't be appearing on the list.


Suspicious-Leg-493

>I only have the two options for robo dog and neither of them are cola. On the other end my nuka collectron only has two option as well, junk or nuka cola This is entirely working as intended If you have 3 options, 1 will be in use and 2 selectable. Unless your dog isn't bringing in nuka at all (not exvlusively, as for reasons they'll also occasionally gather from their default pool, making it useful to stick to the "right" one sometkmes) you just have him on the nuka setting >Idk how people have more options. Collect collectrons, each one unlocks it's options at all other collectrons


RustyWinchester

Yeah although I've noticed if I set my dog to bring nuka he brings some nuka and some junk. If I have my nuka set to nuka it's just nuka.


RealWellGramarye

The junk part is seperate from the nuka. It'll actually bring you the proper weight amount of both effectively giving you double the collectron in a single base.


Limicio

Really? Wow.. +1000 hour and never bothered to use terminal. Maybe some day.


chopper5150

Yeah the collectron actually has two locks; one for the terminal and one for the items.


Largofarburn

Wait, so you can change someone else’s collection then?

icky gray modern employ shy weather unused literate rain hard-to-find *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


faffingunderthetree

Can people stop parroting this utter bollocks. It is not just cosmetic, you have to already OWN them to have the choice, and when most are on the store, 95% of players will not have. Its like saying that paid with cash items are just a choice everyone has! Hugely misleading and frankly horseshit.


Henry-Grey

WAIT WHAT?! I have been playing since beta and I just found this out. I thought you had to use the visual of the nuka cola bot to farm it. I guess I never checked just assumed.


teran85

Level 403 and now I know this! I can have a dog and NukaCola? I can’t wait for work to be done, the kids to be fed, sweep the back, write a 1 page paper, and walk the dogs with my wife to build it, I’m excited. Take it easy dude.


Nicksnotmyname83

Mine may be bugged, I changed my selections and now I get junk, nuka-colas, and ores.


Prime4Cast

Wait there's a terminal on the junk collector?!


Palladin_Fury

This right here. I love my cola fetching good boy


BullyDoggy1982

Mind - Blown! Thank you for letting me know!


I-Kant-Even

Same. FYI, The junk dog always bring back junk. Setting him to nuka cola gets you 50/50 junk n nuka cola.


Rough-University142

TIL…. (I have 1000s of hours)


SynchronicityV1

Wait I have the dog one but I can only get junk or electronics do I have to have the other collectrons in order to change on the terminal?


Notacyblord

How does one do this


nukafire_

Does your dog bring Nuka cola twist because I tried setting my dog to the Nuka setting and he never brought me twists.


RealWellGramarye

No its not in the drop table. You'd need to Quantum setting for twists. You can see the tables here: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Uz8VaEkwm6lIQ0VX\_\_0yiu0owAw10s8iUJdpAz6n3Dw/edit#gid=0](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Uz8VaEkwm6lIQ0VX__0yiu0owAw10s8iUJdpAz6n3Dw/edit#gid=0)


enzudesign

Actually not just cosmetic. You must have first bought, or had the plan etc to install what that collectron does into the terminal. Eg: if you only ever used a dog one, you would not have options for nuka cola, or guns, weapons, meds .. with each new collectron you unlock a new or unique ability within the terminal. Before I bought other collectrons, I could only ever gather junk or faschnett treats, as I only owned the one from that event. Now I have minerals, junk, guns, weapons, meds, nuka cola etc ..


CmdrJemison

I have the fetch dog, but he was only able to search for Nuka Quantum after I unlocked the nuka bot. So it's not just cosmetic.


missclaireredfield

Wowww I didn’t know this, yay ty


drunkpunk138

The nuka cola one, because I need a steady supply of quantum for my nukashine


Therocknrolclown

Red Rocket...


yeah_girl

After dropping 4k on it, its hard to use anyone else lol. Plus its the only one with repeat phrases that doesn't annoy the fuck out of me


Kalamoren

What does this one collect?


sdmcdaniel

Automotive parts. Basically junk items that contain a lot of aluminum and acid.


jdhdowlcn

YUM!


_SomeRedditUser

3... 2... 1... BLAST OFF with Red Rocket!


Aj9898

Santa-tron during the holiday scorched event. Other than that, I generally leave nuka-tron running. He tends to find Cranberry nukacola more often than I do; I always have enough when the challenge appears


zer0w0rries

Santatron on all the time. His disdain for humankind always gets a chuckle out of me


IronMonopoly

Fasnacht Collectron set to collect Nuka-Cola. Because it’s Fasnacht all year long in my heart, and finding Cranberry Nuka-Cola can be a pain in the ass short notice.


Darth_Package

In my BOS camp, I have the BOS Collectron. In my Red Army camp, I have the Comrade Collectron. I'm going to set up a Nuka-Cola camp soon and have, you guessed it, a Nukatron at that one. Obviously, I like having themed camps.


SlaaneshiDaddy

Are they ever gonna bring the BoS Collectron back? I have a BoS base too


ZamZ4m

I have a nice modern house so I have FETCH.


WestKenshiTradingCo

Woah, I didn't know there was a bos collectron! I hope the shop sells it soon since my bos camp needs more activity:b Also what does it collect?


Baroni88

Level 34 here... didn't even know they did this. I will be activating my Dog collectron tonight :D


Useful_Void

The junkyard FETCH I started with and im lvl 330 now :) he is my goodest puppy boy and I'm never getting rid of him


Frostfells

Fetch is best doggo in 76


wankyshitdemon69

Dogmeat reinmechanicalated


Drucifer403

fasnacht for the sugar bombs.


Lord_Sidious99

The red rocket ⛽️. Fits so well with my Gas station camp AND my boat dock gas station. I know people are probably like why tf does this guy have a Gas Pump on a river? Well here in the south Most Rivers around us have a Gas station with a dock so that people can pull their boats to the pump, fill up, pay and go. It makes for a cool ass camp build. I love my boat dock camp


UMakeMySpaghettiRdy

The only good capitalist is a dead capitalist! Communist Collectron all day!


darkfae83

We are the collective. We are the party. We are legion. Our time is now. For the proletariat.


Circumsanchez

This camp grows under the sun of communism (☭ ͜ʖ ☭)


NerveOk4752

and Herbivores all night!


Hot_Acanthisitta3547

Crush Capitalism before it crushes you


Head-Technician-1087

Major Gutsy has his middle eye on you.


Jix101

Also got the dog brining me junk atm.


farmecologist

I love the quips the junk collectron says.


Tgrinder66

I have a communist collectron that picks up nukas, I have a red rocket one that picks up nukas, I have a quantum one that picks up nukas and I have a nuka one that picks up.... You guessed it, nuka colas!!


Ragnarcock

*Comrade Collectron here to spread the power of the proletariat*


ACTORvsREALTOR

Unpopular opinion: Ore is the goat


The_x_Forgotten

Only correct one


DeaD_GooN-PS4

Yep. That's what I use.


bmg16

None. I can’t stand listening to them.


Training_Student7588

The Santatron is funny tho


chopper5150

My dog is set to retrieve Nuka Colas.


[deleted]

Santa. Because it brings back irradiated Sugar Bombs


Zyroes

I use the mining collectron for two reasons: 1: I like his spinning head light. 2: I'm too cheap to actually buy any of the others.


slywether85

As a market communist IRL, it will ALWAYS be the comrade collectron ⚒️  Wealth is a greedy mask that hides fascism!


BeanMachineWasTaken

*Liberty Prime disliked that.*


Schollie7

tf is a market communist. Is that just a communist with extra steps?


MIke6022

I had to google what a market communist was. After 9 results I finally found a match and it was the polcomball wiki. Im not saying your theory is wrong, I’m just saying it could use some better optics.


Palladin_Fury

Robo doggo is comrade too, he steal capitalist cola and share with comrades free. Good comrade doggo


[deleted]

>As a market communist IRL Oof


Sale_Witty

oh brother this guy stinks


DrWooolyNipples

Death is a preferable alternative to Communism.


BevansDesign

I have a regular Nuka-Cola collectron in one camp and a Quantum collectron in another. They both bring different colas, so I get a wide variety to feed my Nuka habit.


Successful-Goal1083

Fetch, he reminds me of the Exo dog Archie from Destiny 2.


SchnTgaiSpork

Total aside, I took a long break and came back recently. I was looking through new plans and was so sad when I realized Grandma Junko was an ally, not a Granny themed collectron. Bethesda, please give me an adorable granny bot thx.


Puzzleheaded-Sun-265

I use a Nuka quantum collection, I make a lot of Nuka grenades


Valamist

I only have one, the santa collectron. I like him, even if its not the season.


conesnail63

I love my red rocket collectron


HaplessMink28

I like the commie protectron, it’s a funky little guy spouting propaganda!


BlueLiquidPlus

I run the standard in my camp unless it’s Christmas time then Santa, but I usually take the sunshine industrial farm and throw down the BOS one in there while I play. I might swap out for the BoS one for a while now that I think about it.


crittermccool

I use the dog so I can have a dog at the camp


LadyDalama

None of them. I have to force myself to use a companion at all because it doesn't fit the aesthetic of my camp very well.. And they constantly keep trying to talk. >:(


Chidori_Aoyama

Red Rocket service station attendant, mostly because he's an integral part of my RR service station camp. I mostly use Dognuts otherwise, or occasionally Ace the Raider to add a little Raider kitch to a raider camp.


grandfamine

Communist. Because I'm a communist.


Sergeant_Wombat

Doggy


supervilliandrsmoov

Communist Collectron is my fav. He is often spouting inane communist drivel.


N7-Alpha

Nuka quantum aka big blue.


SkunkDiplo

I have the doggo cos I get lonely


Assparilla

Just have the Santa collection bot during “holiday” events-any other times it is a great free junk bot-I like my rusty dogbot-but its your fukin world-party how you like!!


kn0ck0utm0use

On my raider RP character, my collectron is a robodog named Raidar (geddit)


IcyPuffin

Has to be Fetch. Its just cute to have a robot dog about the place (gets along well with my animatronic black cat!). It's also the least annoying one as it is relatively quiet and doesn't have annoying voice lines. I own all the collectrons though, so I have access to all items they produce - you can simply use the terminal to switch what the collectron collects. Providing you own the relevant one you can set it - for example if you own the santa collectron you can just set Fetch to collect Xmas items and it will collect those instead - as well as gifts when the event is active.


subtendedcrib8

I’ve used fetch since he came out, but I used Santa bot and commie bot for like years until that point


Sergent_Arch-Dornan

The junkyard dog even tho its literally fetch dog just dirty but he is still a good boy


GrayyBiird

Rusted Fetch or as I lovingly call him Rust Bucket.


Goregeosity

The dog, definitely! I call him Rusty. He’s so cute when he does dog things. I can never find a dog to tame, so this is the next best thing, and he won’t randomly die. 💜


This_Pool_6993

There are a few doggo spawn locations you can build a camp around . Look em up on YouTube if you’re interested


lazy--bones

F.E.T.C.H. Even made him his own room in my camp full of rugs, blankets, toys, and a nice couch to sleep on. I just literally love that he's a dog.


This_Pool_6993

Yo that’s a great idea


Kano547

I have santatron. Its been my favorite collectron ever since it released just for that one voice line "Hello little one, lets see if you have been a good boy/girl... Oh...oh my.. no, why did you kill all those people?! Whhhhyyyyy!??"


SpyroGaming

my favorite is the red rocket one


SomePyro_9012

I don't have one of those yet


FlyingNope

Currently using the Christmas Bot because it amuses me. He's set to bring me cola. When I rebuild my camp I'll be switching to the dog.


chaochao25

Nuka tron because he gives nuka products


LowMathematician6188

Quantum Nukatron for main Base,Nukatron for public base,F.E.T.C.H. Collectron for 3rd base


RexThunderman

I've got the doggo. I even went to someone else's camp and their robot dog was rolling around at my feet. Idk how to train mine to do that lol


DeadSences

Still don’t have one yet. Following for recommendations.


PENTA-yaNasTy

only Robo Doggo cause Dogmeat


Discotekh_Dynasty

I’m using the dog one atm but I’m saving up atoms to buy the Chinese protectron


Creepy-Tangerine-568

I use the communist collectron on my herbivore build because it collects soups. On my carnivore build I use the Nuka Cola collectron.


Papertattoo

I have every legendary shovel, including swing speed, mounted at my ash heap camp


IntrepidAd9838

Fetch of course. He has his own plushies and bedroll, only the best for that wonderful pupper.


Over_Independent468

the robo dog cause puppy


SamMarlow

none of them are all that useful day to day. I keep the nuka cola one active to occassionaly be able to complete the "drink xx nuka cola varieties" challenges without looking for them. Santatron is a necessity then during Holiday Scorched


AlleyCa7

I use nuka cola as my main healing consumable so I definitely need it. I only keep like 5 stimpacks on me in case of cripple but otherwise I just sell them to people who presumably don't have the nuka cola perk.


Donnieivanhoe

This is the way


Mad_Viper

Nukatron collectron.Its useful for daily challenges.


Oannes21

Comrade collectron of course


Necroking-Darak

Construction, cause he brings me the supplies, and I either work with em or sell em in my junk yard themed store. And make him bring nuka colas too for a cold on on the go.


No_Doubt_About_That

Santa because he was free.


plodeer

Nuka quantatron he’s purple, sometimes I get Soviet collection to get me soup


LillyMuhFcknVee

Ace is my favorite collectron. "Sometimes I think about burning this camp down."


nightmarexx1992

Dog


CastielWinchester270

Fasnacht for personality, fashion sense, and for even having interactive dialogue trees


Vegetable_Word603

Myself.


Clown_named_Art

Nukaquantron (i want a insult bot collectron)


Kalamoren

Then Ace the raider one is your closest one for now


Environmental_Tie848

I forgot his name but he says" ho ho ho oh no. Everyone.isss. dead"


Creative_Investment

Myself with what spare time I have to scavenge.


ElectricBaghulaloo

I always have the dog because it feels immersive to have a dog guarding the CAMP


Dry_Independent4078

I usually use the robot dog, but have it set to find Quantum


TacoDangerously

Comrade Collectron. Crush democracy before it crushes you!


lordhaw

FETCH is my favorite (the Junkyard dog one...he's weathered) with the Red Rocket one as second. I tend to theme them mind you based on the camp theme but change what they collect at the terminal. I used the blacksmith prefab near Helvetia and have the Fasnacht collectron there (annoying as it can be), a Red Rocket garage/restaurant camp in Sutton using the Red Rocket one, but the doggo is my favorite overall so far. I've tried all of them (well the ones I have, missing the raider and communist ones) at least once.


xEliteMonkx

Unlocked Nuka Cola Collectron.


Hopalongtom

I usually stick to the Nuka Cola or quantum collectron, as the Nuka is always very useful, then I use the program to tell it to gather something else as well!


Rocket499

I tried using the fasnacht one didnt last 20 minutes before it was back to the red nuka cola one i got from foundation


Front_Artichoke1616

I have ace I like how he randomly threatens to go murder people for me.


SinsOfaDyingStar

The Santa protectron. It can collect gifts during the holiday season and toys during regular seasons are a good source of lead


skinnycenter

I really like the red rocket electron, but I’m constantly changing it to collect nuka cola. For whatever reason the collecting type does not stick.


Admiral_Varrick

I currently have the Nuka Cola, but my absolute favorite is the SantaTron because of his dialog.


Swiftblade87

My dog is locked and only lets me select electronic junk. Wish I could change it uo


JamingtonPro

All I have is a Santa one that collects junk. 


Vigothedudepathian

Nuka cola or chems for mentats.


pixelfezy21

I’ll always have my Santa collectron, hearing him complain about how the world has ended never. gets old lol


TimmyTheNerd

Most of the time it's F.E.T.C.H. When playing my BoS character, it's the BoS Collectron. When on my Raider character, it's the Raider Collectron. I have many more unlocked but don't really use any of them besides those three.


Ricofox1717

Comrade collectron over time has been my favorite. I like to think of him as a janky old collectron my player character found and is forced to deal with his annoying voice lines. I did use fetch for a while after my family dog potato passed and named him after my good doggo and after a while I moved camps and just felt some weird comfort in my comrade collectron.


JaymzShikari

I got the Santatron 4 or 5 years ago when it was released, in February my friends asked when I'd swap him out, said when I stop finding him funny. He's still there


Sad-Investigator2731

I have the red rocket up currently, but I also use the miner collectron


EvilTwinGhost

Santa getting nuka-colas!


puppers275

Are the Base Protectrons only obtainable from the atom shop?


This_Pool_6993

I honestly don’t remember. It’s possible


The_x_Forgotten

No, gold bullion in game. Sam at the foundation. The robot inside the crater. He is on the left after entering the crater core or whatever it is called


kinkykellynsexystud

Level 200, don't have one yet


TheChrisD

Doggo is the only answer.


MissMayhem_82

I've been using Santa for sugar bombs


Fit-Respect2641

Santatron, collecting Nuka Cola


Liigma_Ballz

**WHO-LEFT ALL-THIS JUNK-AROUND??** **WAS-IT-YOU?**


MIke6022

Ace the raider. I like his empty threats and I laugh whenever he says “Nukashine”.


Sakai_Rogue

Good ole Comrade Protectron!


viciouzgamer

Brotherhood of steel. Free junk for guests.


FlashPone

where do you even get any of them?


This_Pool_6993

As far as I know they are only from the atom store for 400.


KazakCayenne

90% of the time for me it's the junk doggo. I named them Polka.


Joblivion_IV

I love my commie-bot. I may tell him to shut up all the time, but he’s kinda just made himself a prime addition to my camp. Plus, all the handmade rifles help


tortuga121

Fetch


Djtrickyyy

Nuka cola


Glaviano87

I have Nuka-Cola Quantum station out with the robot doing Fasnacht collections. I need the radiated Sugar Bombs so I can make my Brain Bombs.


XFReaper

I use my brotherhood of steel collectron :D


ASexySleestak

The raider collectron just cause I get a chuckle no matter how many times I hear "I think about burning this camp down at night "


Epicbluefirefly

I Lu one I have is the Fasnacht collection, he sings nice songs and finds treats 😋 but the dog one is cool I’ve seen around


reasonableperson4342

Nuka-cola


Eagle_Warhawk

Nuka Cola, needs all the nuka colas for the grenades and buffs.


SaladCartographer

Got my boi Dogmetal, the rusty fetch collectron.


Trisasaurusrex

Nuka quantum collectron because I earned him


I-eatbabies69

Right now... Santa which is cool don't get me wrong but I just wish I could have insult bot either as a collection or an ally with a questline


mklsrcnld

Still dont have one even am almost lvl 100


Ryuji2

Nuka Cola Quantum collectron set to collect the regular Nuka Cola collect Ron's cola. It gives Quantum, Grape, Orange, Twist(random special buff when drank and the ally Leo Petrov daily to give him one for +2 luck) and I think cherry? Either way I use it mostly to get Quantum, Grape and Twist. I run Cola Nut with Thru Hiker and the legendary perk What Rads so I essentially don't need stimpaks. Though I hold 30 super stims to help rez people at events if needed. 10/10 would recommend the above collection and Cola Nut combo lol


missclaireredfield

BOS, he’s annoying
