The Autobomb is an enemy encountered in System Shock (Remake). Compared to the original game, the remake version has received a number of appearance changes.
Overview[]
The Autobombs are deployed by TriOptimum as a way to defend their vital assets against possible intruders. Like many other robots on Citidel Station, they are later used by SHODAN for her own purposes. True to their name, they are essentially mobile bombs, when they detect a enemy, they quickly rush to the enemy's position and detonate themselves, causing severe damage.
Strategy[]
Despite their small size and poor health, Autobombs are not to be underestimated, they are hard to spot and move extremely quickly. Their detonation can seriously damage an unsuspecting player even on the lowest difficulty setting. Unlike many other robot enemies, who constantly communicate with SHODAN and therefore give away their presence easily, Autobombs are quiet (but not silent), the noise they make can easily be missed in a chaotic environment. Therefore, it is strongly advised to memorize the positions of Autobombs, and carry a ranged weapon when passing through areas where Autobombs are produced and deployed. When idle, Autobombs emit a faint noise similiar to those of a vacuum cleaner, when they spot the Hacker, they will make buzzing sounds and flash their red lights as they charge towards him in an attempt to detonate. Turbo Motion Booster may help you gain enough distance to eliminate them.
Autobombs can first be encountered by the Hacker on Level R - Reactor. More can be found on various levels as Hacker progresses through the station. An area on Level 7 - Engineering houses a chute which automatically spawns a new Autobomb should the previous one is destroyed. They usually won't pose a serious threat before you reach the bridge, as they are usually in positions where they can be spotted easily, and there will usually be plenty of distance for you to react and eliminate them. Not to mention there are Restoration Bays and occasionally Surgery Machines available on those levels. On Level 9 - Bridge however, they pose a serious threat, as the area they infest is a dark maze, where they are extremely hard to spot and little distance can be maintained between the Hacker and them. Stay alert, listen and watch carefully before you move, and evacuate the area quickly after finishing the objective.
Autobombs explode so violently that they leave no wrekage or loot behind.
