{{Qud text|&cWaydroids|notxml}} are a type of robot, presumably built by the [[Barathrumites]] to guard {{favilink|Grit Gate}} against intruders. They will attack anyone not holding a {{favilink|droid scrambler}}, and will be friendly to anyone with a scrambler in their inventory, as well as their companions.
{{Qud text|&cWaydroids|notxml}} are robots typically found in {{favilink|Grit Gate}}. According to {{favilink|Argyve}} (see [[Argyve/Conversations#Canticle3|the relevant conversation node]]), they were built by the [[Barathrumites]] to guard Grit Gate.
 
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.

While, for all in-game intents and purposes, {{Qud text|&cwaydroids|notxml}} are the creations of the [[Barathrumites]], they are actually technically part of the otherwise invisible {{Qud text|&cwaydroids|notxml}} faction. This is likely done to give them a separate reputation stat, allowing {{Qud text|&cwaydroids|notxml}} friendliness to be based off whether the player is holding a {{favilink|droid scrambler}}, rather than if they are friends with the [[Barathrumites]].
* Although they were ostensibly built by the Barathrumites, waydroids have [[:Category:Waydroids (faction)|their own hidden faction]] that is not mechanically related to the Barathrumites except insofar as waydroids are specifically neutral towards them. 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.
