Automaton icon.png

The Automatons are mindless, bloodthirsty robots, coded for nothing but murder and socialist violence. Their origins are a mystery, but their unthinking hatred of Freedom makes them a threat to all citizens of Super Earth.

— Playstation Store Description

The automatons, often referred to as Bots, are intelligent robotic beings that currently occupy the north-western sectors of the known galaxy. They were created by the Cyborgs[1][2] and predominantly utilize laser weapons, rockets and melee weapons.

Undocumented Changes

Fixes

  • The Helldiver and the Exosuit both had a bug that made them sometimes take explosion damage multiple times making things like automaton rockets be too deadly, this is now fixed.
  • Automaton enemy constellations that preferred to spawn more of certain Devastators types did not work and are now functioning as they should. This means that sometimes when playing against the Automatons you will face more Devastators instead of other enemy types.
