Security Bot

Security Bots are Security Devices in Rapture. They appear in BioShock, BioShock 2, and all of their downloadable content. Many are owned by Andrew Ryan, and others are controlled by Splicers, or various local 'bosses'. They can be hacked by the player character to make them friendly protectors, limited to two at a time. As the games progress, the bots will become much tougher to hack, and cost more to buy out. The effect of an Auto-Hack, however, does not change. The alarm created by the security system can be shut down by using a Bot Shutdown Panel. The Security Bots mechanism includes: helicopter-like rotors, and what appears to be an outboard boat motor, and have machine guns (Minerva's Den introduces Security Bots with Lasers, Rockets or Tasers). Many Security Bots appear to be improvised devices like the city's Turrets.
