Follow this Fallout 4 guide to complete the Headhunting quest, defeat the Rust Devils at Fort Hagen Satellite Array, and claim the X-01 Power Armor.

You may have already explored Fort Hagen Satellite Array, but it has changed significantly for Automatron. The Rust Devils raider group now occupies the array with their robots and defenses. Approach from the north-west to surprise them. The outside has a few Rust Devil enemies and robots. Be wary of the Machine Gun Turret on the north and the main entrance, which has two flame-thrower traps that can be disabled after clearing the area.

To enter the base, follow the stairs up and around the outside of the fort to find the “Rust Devil Entry Terminal.” Use this to open the security door below and enter the hangar.

Inside, take out the laser trap to the right. Continue to the right and down the ramp to find two robots and a Rust Devil. Target the highest-level enemy first, then eliminate the rest. Head down and enter the door on the right into a large warehouse filled with Rust Devils and robots. Use the non-working tanks for cover and take them out one by one.

From the entrance, a med bay with a First Aid Box is on the right. Following the right wall leads to a staircase up to a “Fort Hagen Hangar Lockdown Terminal” with an [Advanced] lock, opening a door to an Explosives Box.

To the left side of the warehouse is the main objective. An [Expert] locked door leads to a set of X-01 Power Armor. Another [Expert] lock beyond this room leads to the next area. Alternatively, following the left wall leads to an [Novice] locked security gate for random goodies. Stairs here lead up to a control room with more junk and an alternative path to the next area.

The next area contains robots that appear friendly. Head down the south staircase and take a right to find a button to extend a bridge. On the north side of this room, you'll find a missile launcher and three missiles.

Head up the north staircase, then hang a left. In the room on the right, three laser tripwires are set up. Disarm them and check the sleeping area beyond. Here, find the “Rust Devil Gaming Terminal” to eject the Automatron Holotape, a twin-stick shooter mini-game.

To the left of the terminal is an [Advanced] safe. Back in the main room with the friendly robots, your Robobrain is inside a machine. A large robot called “Ahab” is up the ramp, and an eyebot in a cage plays a looped message. Pick up the Jezebel Interview by the eyebot. The cage is an [Advanced] lock.

It's time to kill Ahab. It will attack if you approach or tamper with the Robobrain. Energy weapons work well, or use missiles. Target its arms first and use a sneak attack if possible. Beware of robots entering from the tripwire room during the fight. Loot Ahab for robot parts.

After the fight, talk to Jezebel with your Charisma gear equipped for a moderate speech check. Make a deal to gain the Jezebel Head.
