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.

* 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.

* 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.

They were changed to be members of the robots faction, while the defunct waydroids faction was later removed in [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/333640/view/3349002486194482467 patch 2.0.203.41].
