The update adds Mr. Handy, the Fallout robot assistant, to the game. Although it's not clear how players will acquire the robot, Mr. Handy was revealed as an award of some type. The robot will move around your Vault and collect resources automatically. You can also send Mr. Handy into the Wasteland to explore, and he will defend your Vault from attackers.
