It's a similar system to upgrading your Power Suit as you explore, cannibalise other robots and discover new bits and pieces, you can plug together new and ever more dangerous robots, as well as give them a name, a voice and a paint job, but sadly not better pathfinding AI than the stock characters.
SILVER SHROUD ARMOR LEVEL 25 UPGRADE
The key addition is a robot manufacturing station to place in settlements, which makes it possible to upgrade robots or create them from scratch. It's much closer in scale to the more reasonable-sounding Wasteland Workshop that's coming soon for £4, with the extra content on offer nowhere near notable enough to stand out in a game that already offers so much that you've probably yet to go see. As an £8 piece of standalone DLC though, this first new content drop should probably be finding some rubber to craft a catheter so that it can literally take the piss. As part of the Season Pass, it's fine - a cute addition that offers new features and new content that's not essential, but fills an obvious gap in the crafting line-up while we wait for the Far Harbor expansion.

The stranger gestured to the bag, full of ceramic and rubber and heavy plate. Immediately, he was ready, pistol in hand, staring into the distance at the traveller, naked save for some unflattering underpants, wincing as he dragged a large bag of crap across the wasteland and back towards that new town out by the old vault. He sat back with his newly scavenged comic, content to just let the scorching heat bounce off him. It oozed pleasantly in the Commonwealth sun. The stranger scratched a radioactive welt on his arm. But is it worth checking out, on its own or as the initial taste of the Season Pass? Here's Wot I Think. It's the first Fallout 4 DLC, in which you get to build your own robot army and turn another Wastelander's into just so much scrap metal.
