How to get difficult/strong synths?

[DynV]

I'd like to get some sweet heavy synth armor and I barely find some from loot. I used to often stumble upon synth random fights (ie in the ruined homes section north of Chestnut Hillock Reservoir), but as the 2nd word of this sentence imply: not anymore; IIRC it's been mentioned to me that's because I started the mission in which you meet Ada, from Automatron.

Is there any way to find some heavy synth armor in loot? Even if that mean installing a mod for new buildings/areas. Of course I'd prefer to get random difficult/strong synths encounters again, but if that's very difficult to return, I understand.

Oh! Some guarded areas from completing the main questline have been wiped out; so no more ally neither enemy spawn to those initially protected. Areas which tended to have more random synths encounters.

Thank you kindly

I don't know of any mods which fix this, but in future runs I'd highly recommend the synth overhaul mod for fully armored synth enemies.

As far as I know, leveled synths (like Synth Eradicators) usually carry heavy synth armor pieces. Maybe you could check: Mahkra Fishpicking, Nahant Oceanological Society, C.I.T. Ruins.
