Behind the scenes[]

"Test Your Metal" is a multilayer pun on the phrase "test your mettle" (which means having the courage to carry on through a difficult task), referencing both the composition of the robots and the Brotherhood of Steel defenders.
The event was first added to the game's files with the Steel Reign update.
