I see. I haven’t tried exploring those national guard bases yet. The creatures roaming around it look way too dangerous to mess with.
Since they’re robots, they’re likely vulnerable to EMP and scrambler grenades, but the problem there would be getting close enough since they can apparently kill you from quite a ways away. I assume you’ve already tried explosive-strapped remote-control cars, since you mentioned the radio mod, earlier. EMP hacks are an option, if they can get to the enemies before detonating, but I expect you’ll need to make very many of them if you wanted to use them.
I don’t remember where you can find the recipe, but there’s an item called a “Control Laptop” that you can use to turn robots friendly by overriding their IFF codes. This turns all other hostile robots against them though. It also requires that you be fairly close, so you may need to hide behind the armored glass you mentioned, to get close enough to do it. I’m fairly certain it requires computer skill to hack them, so you’ll need to work on that as well, if you want to do it.
There’s also the tried-and-true method of killing things: running them over with cars. If you get the quarterpanels thick enough, they may not be able to shoot through it and kill you before you finish them off. Alternatively, you can install the remote control unit (I believe it was the “drive-by-wire controls”) into a car and pilot it remotely to run them down without the threat of getting shot. Cars will only work aboveground, though.
