The Militech MT0D12 "Flathead", commonly abbreviated to Flathead, is a robot in Cyberpunk 2077.
Overview[]
The Flathead is an experimental military grade unit for surveillance and reconnaissance missions, manufactured by Militech. As described by Maelstrom gang member Dum Dum, it is state-of-the-art, coming without a standard port and with titanium-fiber actuators. It has dynamic camouflage armor and motor impulses rivaling that of the human nervous system. When demonstrating it, Dum Dum remotely pilots the spider-like bot around the room, having it scale walls.
Normally, the robot would be controlled by Militech software, but because the Maelstrom hijacked this specific robot from a transport, they had to replace the software with an alternative version by Raven Microcybernetics and placed it on a control shard. Dum Dum mentioned that if they had left the software intact, it would automatically reconnect to the Militech network and expose their location.[1]
Acquisition[]
- The Pickup - Obtained alongside the Raven Control Shard.
Notes[]
- The Flathead was intended to be used as a companion for Techies, but as them and Netrunners have many overlapping abilities they were combined into one skill tree.
- In the E3 2018 trailer Dexter DeShawn is seen finishing the deal on the Flathead.
- The bot is named after Flathead County.[2]
Trivia[]
- The Flathead appear as a back bling in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1 alongside V, Johnny Silverhand and several other cosmetic items as part of the Night City Denizens Set.
