The Sympto-Matic is a world and workshop object in Fallout 76.
Background[]
The Sympto-Matic was a product similar to that of the popular Auto-Doc line capable of various medical procedures, diagnoses, and medication administration. Created by Med-Tek[1] as a specialized push-button medical device, the device was utilized in the Appalachian region before the Great War.
The device was able to handle a variety of diseases and injuries and, with the assistance of fusion batteries, could sustain power outages and shortages, yet start-up and operate without issue. The Sympto-Matic was utilized in places like Harpers Ferry and the AVR Medical Center.
While initially feared to be capable of taking jobs from medical professionals, as well as having issues with its programming when treating patients, it soon became an asset to doctors across Appalachia and the rollout of the device was recommended to begin immediately, only cut short by the Great War.[2] A Sympto-Matic known as the Neural Oscillation Scanner was present in the cave below Hornwright Industrial Headquarters, used to create a new intelligence module for the Motherlode if it needed to be replaced.
Capabilities[]
The device has a multiplicity of capabilities at its disposal, such as:[3][4][5]
- Taking blood & urine samples
- Measuring body temperature
- Measuring blood pressure
- Rectal probing
- Full patient diagnostic
- Applying lacerations
- Treating broken bones
- Issue prescriptions
- Administering vaccines
- Curing various diseases
Characteristics[]
The constructible Sympto-Matic is solely utilized to cure all current diseases, similar to the disease cure aid item. Machines found in the world cannot be interacted with and thus provide no cure, the exception being Sympto-Matics built by other players.
Crafting[]
Locations[]
- Craftable at any owned C.A.M.P. or workshop once the plan is learned.
- A unique version is located in the basement of the AVR Medical Center, it can only be interacted with during An Ounce of Prevention.
- One in the mag-sealed room in the basement of the Harpers Ferry Clinic.
- One in the room with Ella's terminal inside Ella Ames' bunker.
- One inside Vault 96, currently only accessible via Daily Ops.
- One inside of the medbay of each nuclear missile silo, that can be used to acquire a copy of the player's biometric data so they may proceed deeper into the silo.
Notes[]
- The audio files associated with the Sympto-Matic, as well as the static variant, refer to it as "AutoDoc," a device that previously appeared in Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas.
- The Sympt-O-Matic design strongly resembles the AutoDoc Mark IX from New Vegas, which in turn draws elements from concept art for a Pullowski booth drawn by Adam Adamowicz for Fallout 3.
- There are two machines sharing the same appearance as the Sympto-Matic, both of them being named "Biometric Scanner."
- One is found inside the Kanawha Nuka-Cola plant and can be operated only during The New Arrivals.[6]
- Two are found in each Site Alpha, Bravo and Charlie, they are used to scan the player character's biometric data during Mission: Countdown.[7]
