== Droid Scrambler Vulnerability ==

If the player character is holding a {{favilink|droid scrambler}} either in their main inventory or an equipment slot, waydroids are initially friendly towards them and their companions. Otherwise, they ~~are~~ hostile. The scrambler has no effect if held by a creature that is not the player character or dominated by the player character. In particular, having a companion hold it is ineffectual.{{Code Reference|class=DroidScramblerWeakness}}

If the player character is holding a {{favilink|droid scrambler}} either in their main inventory or an equipment slot, waydroids are initially friendly towards them and their companions. Otherwise, they react like other [[robots]] (hostile by default). The scrambler has no effect if held by a creature that is not the player character or dominated by the player character. In particular, having a companion hold it is ineffectual.{{Code Reference|class=DroidScramblerWeakness}}

Being affected by a droid scrambler even once renders a waydroid permanently unable to grant [[XP]].

== Tips ==

* Even those waydroids inside of the Barathrumite enclave proper are hostile without a scrambler.

* Their {{Favilink|shockrod|plural}} often create electrical arcs, making combat alongside them hazardous and infighting common once their current target has been dispatched.

== Trivia ==

* Although they were ostensibly built by the Barathrumites, waydroids have [[Waydroids|their own hidden faction]] that is not mechanically related to the Barathrumites except insofar as waydroids ~~are~~ neutral towards them. (The only other faction they~~'re~~ neutral towards is [[grazing hedonists]]; they~~'re~~ hostile towards all others.) ~~This causes their behavior~~ to be ~~based almost entirely on~~ the ~~presence or absence of~~ the ~~droid~~ scrambler ~~and not influenced by Barathrumite faction rep~~.

Waydroids used to have [[Waydroids|their own hidden faction]] that was not mechanically related to the Barathrumites, except insofar as waydroids were neutral towards them.
