The Callisto Protocol is a fantastic survival horror game that appeals to players who love the Dark Space franchise. While The Callisto Protocol has some of the most terrifying foes for players to deal with, they fail compared to the Security Robot.
Since the Security Robot is not organic, taking them down using weapons is not easy. Fortunately, this guide will give players all the information they need to eliminate the Security Robot and other valuable tidbits.
How to Kill the Security Robot in The Callisto Protocol
The Security Robot during Chapter 3: Aftermath is strong and incredibly difficult to take down. Players can empty entire clips, which will hardly make a difference against the Security Robot. What’s worse is that the game does not provide any solution or assistance for players to eliminate the Security Robot.
Since players do not start with any weapons initially, defeating Security Robots may seem like a faraway dream. During the first encounter against a Security Robot, players will not be able to do any significant damage unless they specifically target the red eye on the robot. The Security Robot’s red eye is the only weak spot that players can exploit.
An encounter with any Security Robot will be anxiety-inducing because they can kill the player with a single attack. Since there is this risk of being killed instantly, players cannot resort to using weapons like Skunk and Riot Gun because they are most effective at close range.
Apart from keeping distance from Security Robots, players must be incredibly precise with their weapons to continue shooting at their only weakness, the red eye.
Once a Security Robot has been defeated, players can salvage it for loot, which can then be sold to acquire Callisto Credits from the Reforge Station.
Tips for Killing Security Robots
- Shoot the red eye on the robots to stun them.
- When stunned, players can get in closer to switch to close-range weapons for additional damage.
- Stealth may be the appropriate course of action at times. When sneaking around Security Robots, players should stay clear of their line of sight.
- When the Security Robot raises its left hand for an attack, take cover and break its line of sight.
- Hit-and-run tactics are the best approach when dealing with Security Robots.
Avoiding Security Robots in The Callisto Protocol
As mentioned above, players will have a hard time taking down Security Robots in The Callisto Protocol, and the fact that players do not have any weapons initially does not help. Therefore, the best course of action is to avoid Security Robots. Players can sneak around Security Robots until they have the necessary weapons to take them down.
The Callisto Protocol is available on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
