**Security Bots** are robots that appear in Black Iron Prison, acting as enemies for Jacob Lee. These machines patrol the corridors of the prison complex to detain any escapees that try to flee.

During the outbreak, the robots were ordered to kill any human target on sight whether they were inmates or not.

The second variant of the Security Bot, the **Bio Bot**, which is a presumed assimilation of the Biophage Pathogen with the robot, appears in the story DLC, Final Transmission.

## Overview

Security Bots make their first appearance when they torch Charon's ship door open. Those Security Bots detain Dani and Jacob, the latter from Cole's orders for unspecified reasons. They are seen escorting the duo to prison.

Once the Biophage outbreak occurs, several security units are found partially destroyed and not functional enough to react to any inmates nor protect any human targets from the Biophage. When approaching the Medical Sector, Jacob witnesses two prisoners brutally murdered by a Security Bot which was acting on Cole's orders to hunt and kill any human targets on sight. The same unit patrolled the sector temporarily before left the premises, allowing Jacob to safely move through.

## Combat Strategy

* Security Bots cannot be stealth killed.
* Melee is heavily ineffective and discouraged as the Security Bots will instantly kill Jacob upon touch.
* Jacob must sneak past these enemies in the beginning of the game due to the fact he has no ranged weapons.
* Cover is recommended when fighting Security Bots with firearms, as their arm mounted guns can kill Jacob instantly.
* Security Bots do not recognize the Biophage as enemies so caution is warranted in areas where both sets of enemies are present.
* These enemies cannot be picked up by using the Gravity Restraint Projector.
* Headshots are the only effective way to destroy a Security Bot later in the game.
* Jacob can use the GRP to pick up explosive canisters and launch them at Security Units for massive damage.
* In Hardcore Mode, Security Units take twice as much damage to kill, so the strategy of sneaking past them is still recommended as before.

## Trivia

* Active Security Bots make an appearance only three times throughout the game.
* It is not possible to fight Security Bots without ranged weapons.
* Destroying a Security Bot grants the player an achievement called "Terminated," an obvious reference to Terminator.

## Death Scenes

* If within the melee range, the robot will pick him up and punch off his right leg before tossing him to the ground. It will then walk up to Jacob and crush his head before it walks away.
* When caught in the bot's crossfire, the bot will shoot Jacob multiple times in the chest before his head pops like a balloon.
