[2019] PSA: Do NOT Melee Legendary Protectrons

So if you're like me (and frankly why wouldn't you be) then you're into the occasional walk through Watoga for a chance at looting a nice pacified legendary protectron or two. And if you're like me you've noticed that legendary protectrons explode when you kill them. But they'll usually give you a few courtesy seconds to loot their rotting metal corpse and run away to a safe distance.

Well my friends, those days are over as Legendary Protectrons now explode instantly upon death and will do their darndest to take you down with them, resulting in several broken bones and significant lost health if not your own untimely demise.

Sure, you're thinking you'll just shoot them from a safe distance and collect their loot. Well good luck with that as they now explode with such vigor they will throw their bodies on top of neighboring buildings, behind dumpsters or wherever is most inconvenient for you.

So if you come across a legendary protectron, rejoice, but approach with caution and be prepared to either hunt for their remains or risk crippling injury and death or, should you sneak melee your robotic prey, all of the above.
