Borderlands – Loader Bots
In the looter shooter franchise that is Borderlands, Hyperion is a nasty, evil corporation that cares about making money and nothing else. It’s willing to do whatever it takes to make more cash and become more powerful. In the series, the company is willing to dig up ancient alien vaults, kill innocent people, and replace workers with AI-powered robot loaders.
It’s these loaders that make up the bulk of Hyperion’s army and who are a common enemy in Borderlands 2 and 3. These damn robots, while cheap to create and use, are terrible at actually doing what they are meant to do. They often get wiped out in seconds by a few random Vault Hunters. It really makes you wonder why Hyperion is spending all this money and time on AI tech when it could just hire people like the Vault Hunters, give them the resources they need to succeed, and let them do their jobs better and more effectively than robots. It’s weird! –Zack Zwiezen
