The Institute are an enigma to most in the Wasteland – are they the synthetic future of humankind, or robotic bogeymen waiting to replace you when you sleep? Few ever find out the true nature of this shadowy organisation, and fewer still live to tell the tale.
The core of the Institute’s forces are the Gen-1 and Gen-2 Synths, robots built to mimic human form but skeletal and bare metal – though no less deadly for that. They are deployed to defend strongholds and facilities of interest to the Institute, and attack in large groups to overwhelm and devastate their foes.
As new and terrifying friends and foes are unleashed on the wasteland, the true survivors from all factions upgrade their weapons, find new allies and gird themselves for the fight to come.
