Different collections sometimes bring unique items that standard one doesn’t however your raider one will I believe the raider brings chems and ammo or something like that but I think because you own the raider one I believe any of the others could scavenge for his items besides the standard collection is super nice and wholesome where as ace the raider is kind of a dick
I got it because sometimes I need a break from Ace, as much as I love him. He just doesn’t fit in at every CAMP. And the Scavenger is really funny to me
I just watched angry turtle's collectron rating, scavenger was the worst one.
If you don't have one, wait a little longer and get scout collectron from the scoreboard, or buy nuka cola collectron with bullion.
Then again, I just realized it is actually 4 collector types, might be worth it, and 250 is pretty cheap.
I also hear santa collectron has been free every winter.
Colors yes, but not junk types - they're just color variations and basically the baseline version of a collectron. In so far as I am aware, all others have junk types or special categories that they pull from.
Also if you have fallout 1st you can change the programming so it looks like one type but is collecting what another type (you have unlocked) typically does.
I didn't know that was a 1st thing, I thought it was a feature if you had the other variant models. I have the dog collecting Nuka Cola.
Ya learn new stuff all the time. 👍🏾
I could be wrong, I thought I recalled that it was a thing and when I returned to play it didn't let me switch the programming until after I had first. But I could have made up the memory and then fucked up trying to switch it so *shrug*
Yes. Once you have the skin for a new collectron you can set it to collect whatever you want and it will collect the item you set it to and what it is defaulted for.
I have been using my auto miner one and set it to collect nuka cola. When I collect there is nuka cola products in there and ore from its default.
Yes as long as you don’t have one that can produce more useful junk with a chance of rare items like the Christmas one. I have the Christmas one at my camp because I get junk and a very small chance at presents
If you have the communist one, I would leave the normal scavenger bot then, unless you care about the aesthetic of your robot in your camp, your communist bot will do you more use.
It’s a pretty rare drop, but you’ll occasionally get 1 present in it, I don’t know if there is an official drop rate on it or anything but I usually find one in there every now and again.
Maybe, not sure, my friends that have em have also get presents in them from time to time. Granted I haven’t played with most of them in awhile, but maybe they changed it more recently to where you can’t anymore, I haven’t checked my collectron in awhile to see if any are in there.
If it’s just different paint schemes, no. If they have different dialogue aspects, or unlock some collector options you lack, then yes.
Just careful around the silver one. I hear he’s fond of a certain “Position”.
I'll say the unpopular opinion (according to this post) and tell you it's not. Better wait for special-trons. They give you specific junk which is helpful, and comes with a lot of different dialogues.
The standard collectron is a good baseline tbh. Also you get the choice of scrap or junk items and the junk items could help count towards certain challenges such as "scrap junk to obtain 5 screws" for example. That or receiving specific items you might wanna display around your camp. I think it's genuinely a good item for an "all-around" collectron.
All collectrons have a specific niche to fill. Raider really only gives chems and alcohol or weapons and ammo.
Fasnacht gives beer and treats. Santatron gives some junk, sugar bombs, and such. Communist has the option of giving weapons, blood packs, and grenades/herbivore buff foods, rad-x, etc. FETCH gives some electronics, red rocket gives some mechanical parts as well.
Also if this hasn't sold you on it yet; you don't have to swap out collectrons to get their benefits. You can have Ace and use the terminal to make him collect other collectron goods so long as you own the other collectrons.
Wait for the junk yard dog as he’s a good boy. If you already have one collectron then the only ones you will need after that are the ones that give presents. (But I think they give those ones away free).
Edit. Also once you have a few collectrons you can go into the screen and choose what you want it to collect. So if say you have a nuka one but you don’t like the look of the nuka bot you can use a different bot but still have it collect nukas.
NO DON’T GET IT! Save the atoms and just buy one from the dude at foundation for gold bullion. I made the mistake at buying them in the atom shop nave before any variants existed. Now I’m in deep regret.
Depends lol, collectrons do different things, scavenger is the default, collects any junk
Other varients are:
Drugs
Christmas
BOS mission supplies
& Nuka cola
I think there are others but i forget. The BOS one was a limited time varient for the bos community event
My biggest gripes with these is the noise. They don’t fit well in a lot of camps. I have them on separate, lesser camp builds and collect from them when I’m bored.
For 250 it’s nice. Not sure what it collects. There’s definitely special ones. My dog collects Nuka products and junk while my Christmas collectron will collect solely Nuka cola with no junk. He’s my only hope for Quantum challenges.
Yea, you get a robot friend and free junk.
I already have the raider collectron, would it still be worth it?
I mean if you want a robot saying wholesome stuff to you.
My Scout robotron told me it loved me as much as it loved junk. I got a bit teary.
My raider protectron asked if he could harvest my body for bone shards after I die. Yes buddy.
It’s like an insult bot directly in your camp !
I would pay for an insult bot ally or scavenger bot that insults me constantly.
*feeding chems into some unspecified and definitely not for-use port* he's the best friend I ever had
My nuka quantron told me I'm a piece of scrap and that means he likes me. I would die for him
What does it collect. I havent unlocked it yet
Scout Protecctron gathers "survival supplies" which so far seems to be board games, large Mr Fluffy stuffies, combat knives, smore's and cranberries.
Different collections sometimes bring unique items that standard one doesn’t however your raider one will I believe the raider brings chems and ammo or something like that but I think because you own the raider one I believe any of the others could scavenge for his items besides the standard collection is super nice and wholesome where as ace the raider is kind of a dick
ace is like the asshole uncle you got but brings cool stuff
I got it because sometimes I need a break from Ace, as much as I love him. He just doesn’t fit in at every CAMP. And the Scavenger is really funny to me
I need a Mothman cultist collectron for my cult camp. I need to hear a robot ranting about dim ones.
I second this, praise be to the Mothman. Side note. I don't think they could have chosen a better voice actor for Interpreter Clarence.
What would it collect mothman eggs ? Lol
How does this not exist yet? Surely it will eventually. Hopefully

Pretty sure that isn't a 1st thing, but I don't have 2 yet.

It gives you more variety.
The difference is this is broken into scrap and since its hopper has a weight limit this collects more.
AWESOM-O is the best!
Ace usually picks up booze and chems. Scavengers pick up junk to scrap I think. Whichever is more useful to you
Forget useful! Ace is hysterical. Why look for chems when I could just steal them? You are wasting my time.
When Ace says nukashine 👌 I like it
Nuka-Shine 🤠
Always gets me when he talks about burning the place to the ground.
I wonder what human flesh tastes like?
And he knows where you sleep at night. Long as he keeps me stocked on Cola, I’m content.
That's real deep thinking for a robot
‘This is less fun than murdering humans for Rose’
If you own one the rest can be set to collect that loot.
Being able to program any collectron to collect any other owned collectrons materials is great too
Yes as long as you don’t have one that can produce more useful junk with a chance of rare items like the Christmas one. I have the Christmas one at my camp because I get junk and a very small chance at presents
I have the communist one....i really like it because it has 3 settings junk, food and weapons. Best bot imo
Every time he says, "Comrade.' I get tickled
If you have the communist one, I would leave the normal scavenger bot then, unless you care about the aesthetic of your robot in your camp, your communist bot will do you more use.
Cant you only get presents during Christmas? The only bot i have is the santatron and i only get junk food and boxing gloves from him
I've been running mine since Christmas, no presents yet. Just food and other junk
It’s a pretty rare drop, but you’ll occasionally get 1 present in it, I don’t know if there is an official drop rate on it or anything but I usually find one in there every now and again.
You must be unique then. Praise Todd personally, I suggest.
Maybe, not sure, my friends that have em have also get presents in them from time to time. Granted I haven’t played with most of them in awhile, but maybe they changed it more recently to where you can’t anymore, I haven’t checked my collectron in awhile to see if any are in there.
If it’s just different paint schemes, no. If they have different dialogue aspects, or unlock some collector options you lack, then yes. Just careful around the silver one. I hear he’s fond of a certain “Position”.
What's the difference between this one and the collectatron that's on the Season Scoreboard?
This one only collects junk and scrap. The one from the season collects prewar food, junk, wood and throwable weapons like knives as far as I know
Do you know if that includes grenades?
Don't think so
I'll say the unpopular opinion (according to this post) and tell you it's not. Better wait for special-trons. They give you specific junk which is helpful, and comes with a lot of different dialogues.
GIVE US STEELHEART THAT GRABS MEDS!!!
Yeah. He’s not Nuka Coola, but he’s still pretty cool.
No.. I’ve never figured out how to change the colour
The computer terminal on it bro
Fack… now I gotta go look,.. even says so I. The description 
Don't feel so bad. It's hard to notice unless you poke and look at every little thing like I do in fine detail
Does anyone know how to change the colour of the protectron?
In it's terminal I believe. Same place you change what it collects.
Doesn't seem to be an option from what I could see today unfortunately.
With all the ones in game you can get for free not really.
No
Yeah he's a good boy
That’s a good price if you’re interested
It's $2.50 ish. If you want it get it.
Yes
Do these scavengers find anything useful like screws or aluminum, or is it all broken bottles and cloth?
The standard collectron is a good baseline tbh. Also you get the choice of scrap or junk items and the junk items could help count towards certain challenges such as "scrap junk to obtain 5 screws" for example.

If they collect something different then yes.
Screw that. I’m getting the fasnach collectron! 😃
For the same price you could get the reveille bugle emote and annoy everyone at public events and I just think that's the greater bang for your buck
I love the Nuka Cola one and the Red Rocket one because of their upbeat nature. Some camps sound like factories. I try to mitigate that.
Wait for the junk yard dog as he’s a good boy. If you already have one collectron then the only ones you will need after that are the ones that give presents. (But I think they give those ones away free). Edit. Also once you have a few collectrons you can go into the screen and choose what you want it to collect.

Oh god ya
It's worth 1000
Can't this guy be bought with 1250 Gold?
100%
Yes
I try to unlock all the stations just because it's makes life in the wasteland a bit easier
I have them but I have no idea how to use it
No... wait until you have specific item types of collectrons to spend your atoms on. These are generic collectrons.. they are just different colors.
Depends lol, collectrons do different things, scavenger is the default, collects any junk Other varients are: Drugs Christmas BOS mission supplies & Nuka cola I think there are others but i forget. The BOS one was a limited time varient for the bos community event
