The paranoid Mr Handy, known simply as a Mr
Handy in-game, is a unique Mister Handy found in the Paranoid robot about to explode scene-type random encounter in Fallout 76.
Background[]
Crying piteously for help, this robot will explain that it is on the verge of a malfunction that could cause it to explode. The Mister Handy pleads with the player to repair it, and collapses into a heap on the ground. Fixing the robot requires two pieces of steel, one piece of copper and one military-grade circuit board; the reward is a weapon mod.
If the player does not help the robot, one of two things will happen:
- The robot will announce that he is okay, and his fear of exploding was a false alarm. He will apologize for making a scene and continue moving.
- The robot, just as it had feared, explodes.
This robot should not be confused with Mr. Bandit, a hostile robot who uses a similar ploy to trick the player.
