A rogue creature is terrorizing Appalachia
This event can be triggered if it has not occurred on the server for at least three (?) hours. To start this event, you must have an Assaultron Recall Keycard. These cards are ONE-TIME USE only! You will get one keycard at the end of Calvin van Lowe questline (the series starts with the Lying Lowe quest), and then you can make them at the tinker's workbench. To make one you need:
A process has begun to recall a dangerous rogue Assaultron to an isolated location for elimination. I'm awaiting its arrival.
During the event, players participating in the event will face a three star legendary sheepsquatch and a whole bunch of other robots. The Sheepsquatch is invisible and invulnerable until the three nearby pylons are activated.
The rogue Assaultron has arrived but has a powerful shield that shrugs off damage. I need the nearby pylons to activate so I can do something about that shield!
The pylons are ready to use! Activating them all will remove the rogue Assaultron's powerful shield!
I've defeated the rogue Assaultron. It won't be threatening anyone anymore.
