Destroying an Assaultron is a common daily challenge in . This mission aims to find and take down an Assaultron, a rare humanoid robot enemy. Their uncommon nature can make it hard to find an Assaultron in time. Luckily, Assaultrons love to gather in a few special locations in Appalachia.

Assaultrons are easy to recognize with their sleek designs and pointed chests. These designs make them resemble femme fatales. Like a femme fatale, an Assaultron will put up quite a fight upon approach. Once you memorize their weak points and have the right weapons, you can complete your daily challenge quickly and efficiently.

Assaultrons are scattered around the map in. However, if your goal is to hunt down and kill an Assaultron, a few areas are packed with these sleek robots primed and ready for combat.

They can be troublesome for new players to overcome and are better avoided until you have better weapons and armor. If you need to fight one, however, there are a few spots you should prioritize hitting.

An Assaultron's weak point is in its legs; much of the robot's lethality comes from its speed as it closes the distance between it and its enemy, so rendering it immobile will make the whole fight easier. Once their legs are blown and they stop their assault, take out their heads. With that, your daily challenge will be complete, and you can
