Bioshock Infinite Patriot Enemy Revealed

The first of the “heavy hitter” enemy class is a mechanised George Washington with a Gatling gun.

I could try and find a way to make that sound more impressive, but really: it’s a mechanised George Washington with a Gatling gun. You just can’t make that up. Or you can, if you’re part of the never-fail-to-impress Irrational studios.

The Patriot, as this monstrosity is known, spouts political rhetoric while pursuing his one, terrible purpose of killing you. He’s described as a simple enemy – he really does want to kill you and do nothing else – which makes him both terrifying and humorous. Other “heavy hitters”, as the class of Big Daddy-esque foes is known, will apparently have more complexities, such as augmenting the abilities of nearby lesser enemies.

The Patriots are also used to flesh out the story of the world through their propaganda-charged dialogue, and have a story of their own – there’s more to their background than mindless killing machines.

Anyway, sometimes a picture can say a thousand words, and video can say a million, so watch the mechanised George Washington with a Gatling gun in action below.
