"We destroyed the fabricators! Let's get the hell out of here!" The trees:
This is scary as fuck to hear when I'm creeping through the jungles of Malevalon Creek.
Alexa when owner isn't home :
This robot sympathizer, right here Democracy officer.
i cant tell you how immersed i was when i heard this for the first time
The fact they sing adds such an uneasy vibe to the Bots. Like the bugs are just bugs right? Sure they've been unleashed on rebel human colonies intentionally, or selectively bred to be bigger, tougher and scarier, but they're just animals. The bots, by virtue of singing, aren't just soulless machines. They're their own faction, with ideals and hopes and dreams worth singing about. Honestly makes them so much more compelling as enemies.
WE AINT MAKING IT OUT OF MALEVOLON CREEK WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Every helldiver knows the sound of economic redistribution that can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until managed democracy is dead.
Keep chanting, clanker. Cooldown on my Orbital Barrage is almost at zero.
I hear this, and I know I’ve heard them call me “human scum” in fire fights
someone mentioned that the written automaton language was in fact swedish, but with changed characters for each letter in the swedish alphabet. i wonder if they made actual spoken phrases for the automatons, or just gibberish?
when you have nightmares of trees speaking binary
I was so scared when I realized they were singing. I thought they were mindless monsters. This suggests otherwise. They are monsters that know what they are doing.
In case anyone is curious, iirc the actual lore behind the automatons is that they’re fighting out of revenge for the enslavement of the cyborgs from the first game on cyberstan, so this is an army of cyborg abolitionists probably chanting about how they’re gonna burn down every inch of super earth territory until they have justice.
“I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. Why the fuck are they speaking Binary?”
As a player, I love the sound design. As a SUPER CITIZEN, THIS IS FLAG FORSAKEN AUDIO HURTING MY LIBERTY-BLESSED EARS!
Automaton talking to a Necron: "You know what the difference is between you and me?" Automaton begins to drop sick beats Automaton: "I make this look good."
The fact that WRII actually wrote a full-on chant, despite knowing most people hear little-to-none of it, shows how dedicated Arrowhead is to this game.
I remember the first time I fought in Automaton territory solo and heard a patrol sing. The intimidation I felt when they suddenly stopped after hearing me accidentally drop off a small rock while sneaking...
