| Why the Liberator robots from Fallout 76 are a genius move by the Chinese Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:33 PM PDT Liberator robots are small artillery shell-shaped robots that roam Appalachia both before and after the great war. Although typically seen as a nuisance in-game with their weak lasers and slow attack speed their lore paints a different picture. In the years before the war, Liberator robots would be given to Chinese espionage operations across the United States. Cheap and easy to assemble, these robots would deploy in swarms and begin terrorizing the American people. To the United States Army, they were a joke as they were incredibly weak and were easily dispatched. So this is why they are genius. Their purpose is to start civil unrest not fight. Their armament was not inherently dangerous to average Americans. At the start of Fallout 76 as a level 1, they are literally the first foe you fight. A vault dweller could quite literally pummel one to death with their bare hands before a Liberator kills them. Their slow laser blast does minimal damage and their rotors are meant to slash when they ram into their target. Looking at the damage a Liberator could cause to a person would be injuries that would definitely leave scars. Something that will farther fuel the fear of the Chinese. With that in mind, imagine this: You're watching the late-night news before bed. Reports about Chinese robots attacking Americans causing laser burns and decently large gashes tell like horror stories. As you turn off your TV for the night you can hear a faint Chinese voice outside. Looking outside you find nothing but then the color red washes over you as a Liberator begins to hover right outside of your window. You call the police. They arrive and easily destroy the Liberator that has been stalking you. While you answer the questions the police ask you, you overhear another report of a Liberator attack from an officer's radio. This Liberator used its laser and killed an elderly man. The police respond to the call leaving you alone in your now-empty house. You try to go to bed but you can't know that swarms of Liberators are in your area. In this way, Liberator robots functioned as walking and talking propaganda machines. A single Liberator was not a threat, but the idea of swarms of them was a major threat to American life. The idea of an enemy who is vast and is literally hiding in the shadows to terrorize you perfectly embodies the boogyman the Chinese wanted Americans to see them as. Along with this, most liberators contained propaganda pamphlets and other communist memorabilia inside for use by sympathizers. This strategy also falls in line with what the Chinese have done up to this point in the Fallout Universe. The most common image of the Chinese is a espionage driven fighting force that takes every chance it can to sabotage the Americans. The Liberators represent asymmetrical ideological warfare as they appear to terrorize and disappear just as quickly. On their own, they were nothing more than a joke or a pest to anyone who could not protect themselves. But in a group, they constantly remind the Americans that the Chinese are everywhere.

| How Nuka Cola is not a scarcity? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 03:19 PM PDT Do anybody manufacture new ones? Its been 220 years, and still, everybody drinks it, and its not rare. [link] [comments] |
| Are there any real life companies or name brands that exist in the Fallout universe? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 03:23 PM PDT My question stems from a song in Fallout 4 mentioning Cadillacs, and if I'm not mistaken, the gun manufacturing company Colt also exists. [link] [comments] |
| What did Lakelurks mutate from? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 02:07 PM PDT |
| (Reposting because it’s an actual question and not “speculation”) Valence Radii-Accentuator Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:59 PM PDT Is there an in lore reason why the Valence Radii-Accentuator removes your hair when you put it on and makes your hair magically reappear when you take it off? Or is this just an in game flaw? [link] [comments] |
| To what extent do stimpaks heal people? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 12:53 PM PDT For example, injured NCR soldiers at camp forlorn hope require much more treatment than just a stimpak. Where is the line between requiring professional medical treatment and only needing a stimpak. [link] [comments] |
| Any proof Outer Worlds is connected to Fallout ? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 03:23 PM PDT Some commentators have mentioned the similarities between Halcyon and the plans Mr. House had for the development of New Vegas. Has anyone found any references, similarities or easter eggs that could confirm this ? [link] [comments] |
