basically a employee wearing nothing but space equipment can tank 5 tons of metal falling on them point blank

"The animatronic do get a bit quirky at night"

Its so cool to see how earth leviathans are at the top of the food chain and can kill anything

4:40 "My personal favorite, a baby crying" 💀

The list of sounds old birds make -various sounds of a crying baby -sounds of a dog screaming -Distorted radio chatter -some kind of song -heavily distorted looped chittering -“TO WAR TO GLOOORRRY” Another fact is that it’s said that these sounds are so loud that it could cause hearing damage when you’re in close proximity of them (more of a lore/trivial thing than gameplay mechanic)

Best. Enemy. I love how Zeekers managed to make an enemy that feels so overwhelmingly powerful, but not unfair.

i love that the earthworm is always at the top of the food chain, theres something so satisfying to me about a powerful foe getting absolutely demolished by a neutral third party

Correction for the flight phase: Old Birds specifically choose one of the 15 furthest nodes, meaning that they'll usually fly as far as possible. This is notable for a couple of reasons. For one, you can roughly guess where an Old Bird will fly ahead of time. For another, it causes an issue on Embrion where Old Birds tend to clump up around the ship--- the nodes on that map are positioned so as to make the main entrance and ship very likely to be Old Bird destinations.

It's entirely possible for old birds to never activate, for example, once my friends waited for one to activate on eclipsed offense, it never did, not even as autopilot left. Old birds can also, and I wish I was joking about this, spawn on your planet via the dropship. It came down on the dropship, and stayed floating in the air after dropship left. These are the most broken things in the game(coding wise) Also, to anyone who sees this, Zeekers apparently didn't patch out spike traps spawning too close to main entrance properly, as it happened to me two days ago. It was admittedly very funny, as I didn't even have two seconds to react

Genuinely one of the most terrified I have ever been in any horror game was walking back to the ship and suddenly hearing an old bird wake up, then turning around to see hell on earth as it flies towards me. That was the fastest I have ever pulled the ship lever in my life

Old birds are so funky

These guys sure are something, I was playing with my friends and 2 old birds woke up outside the ship. Keep in mind we were on artifice, so like this is mega danger. We watched one of our friends get engulfed in flames as his scream cuts off in the Firey explosion. We could not find his body and we just dashed to the building, one of us all got killed by a dog trying to warn us about another old bird, said old bird wakes up, disintegrates another guy, I I got into the mansion, only to get blammed by a nutcracker, what a match..

As a Young Bird, Old Birds are tough

the V50 trailer will forever be cemented in my mind "Listen for the Old birds call" that sound they make when their spotlight turns on is so memorable too I wonder what kind of message Lethal Company has considering the themes of previous games Zeekerss has made like The Upturned and It Steals. It Steals was seemingly a way to proove that in certain situations there truly is no escape and while you can delay your fate it will still get to you while The Upturned is about how life is truly random and that it is an uncontrollable force uncaring for if you did good things in your life since it can get wiped away by some surreal but absolutely hilarious accident. With Lethal Company though I cannot tell what it's message is since there are things like all the war related stuff, the bioweaponry and how even if you hate your situation there is a worse scenario that can make you reconsider (basically the entire Sigurd plotline) yet there are always diffrent aspects such as mankinds drive to go to war despite the fact it is unnecessary and our strange obsession to make monuments to our greed (the mansions that are present on Dine and Rend). tl;dr: I have no idea what Lethal Company is trying to tell but it feels tragic,have a nice day to whoever is that read this entire thing

Artifice is easily my favorite moon because Old Birds make it so much easier by clearing outdoor entities That plus God tier loot; gold bars and cash registers aplenty

Damn, the earth leviatan be killin everyone

Tiny correction, missiles can't directly hit you, as they only collide with terrain and enemies, not players. Edit: So zeekerss code is definitely very readable, because it can hit players but it checks for it in a different place which is why confusion happened. (It's completely unneeded because it could have been the same way but it isn't for some reason.)

Lethal Company is game built around the idea 'What would happen if we made a game about being brutally murdered actually pretty regularly?'

Absolutely terrified the first time me and my friends encountered this thing on Adamance. It stayed around the ship cuz the Baboon Hawk nest right next to it, and we stayed inside listening to the loud sirens and baby cries trying to figure out what the hell to even do at that point. We ended up leaving. We had enough loot anyways.

the fact that a machine so simple can be so terrifying is why i love these things, also a detail no one has pointed out is how when they walk, their legs can bend both ways, unlike humans legs, that helps them to feel more simple and unintelligent, only following programming, no sentience, no hatred of humans, just programming,

20 Max spawn is wild. Like what if multiple active after you...

Now imagine what if old bird used fucking giant minigun instead of rocket launcher 💀💀💀

Old birds are by far the scariest monster in my opinion

what I actually love the most about the Old Birds is the Lore that came with them tho

When ai behind maskeds

Having a stungrenade+ earthworm near you is an easy way to kill Oldbirds. Getting in that situation is a rare occasion though

W video alter, now I can die knowing exactly what I did wrong and why it was 100% a skill issue, thanks!

It's immensely satisfying watching Old Birds just kick the daylights outta other outdoor enemies. I wish there was a grab animation specifically for the medium fauna (dogs, hawks, mimics). I also slightly wish they could be killed, but only by other large enemies overwheming them or friendly fire. Either would be extremely unlikely.

Tf2 medic mains about to absolutely juke the old birds

Me and my friends have deemed old birds as allies and just monster exterminators for a while, they are so easy to deal with and just make the outside so safe, every time we see a dormant old bird we just go "yup, this is gonna be an easy day" especially in adamance and titan

I love these things. Rocket jumping away with some smart movement and a dash of luck is a wonderful feeling.

The dogs howl in wait.

I love these dudes videos. It makes me feel like I know everything when I tell my friends the routine of an Old Bird.

THANK YOU, I'VE BEEN NEEDING THIS!!!

Old birds are my favorite entity by far

This is very in-depth.

Max spawn being 20 is actually crazy

Its all fun and games until you start hearing *ROBOTICS ROBOTICS ROBOTICS*

This might be the scariest monster to me. It’s the flight. They’re too damn big to be soaring off the ground. Hell the fact that they attack everything including giants is scary too. Just out for blood.

4:34 “You’ll know an Old Bird has spotted you because it will go absolutely bats*%t crazy”

i love these videos, they are super helpful in allowing me to understand the game. but the best part of these videos it the half second clips of mimics dancing, i will always laugh at them. keep up the great work!!

IVE BEEN SO READY FOR THISS

i miss the old intro :( it felt like a cool teaser and a sort of build up to what the monster could do

babe wake up, new alter ego lethal company AI analysis video just dropped

can we get an ai behind masked coworker video?

this mans discord is the absolute GOAT

3:20 lol what a moment to record Discord chat

Now all it needs is to be able to punch things and send you flying across the map with each punch (laying mines too)

Old bird

Waiting for eyeless dogs' ai video

There’s something so terrifying about these things

thank you for the info!

I also found a bug for the old bird. If it grabs someone while charging, it will permanently freeze it in place.

I love how every monster hqs such complicated roaming ai and then attack mode occurs and they go apesh!t

I dont even play this game, but this video's presentation is so good that I stuck around anyways

The giant worm is a earth leviathan which is very big similar to the movie version

7:12 “You fool!! This was my plan all along! Do you recognize this street?!”

Been waiting for this

Hello! I’ve been watching your ai explained videos for a while, but then I stopped as of I’ve been on vacation, however when I heard you posted this I came straight to it! This was a great informal breakdown (as always) and I’d appreciate it if the next episode was on the nutcracker (I think it’s the name? Dude with shotgun idk) enemy, thanks for your consideration,✌🏼

Next: The AI behind Hydrogere

Me watching everyone get better at playing lethal company because of this guide

old birds are invincible......unless it a earth worm

*_Wait this isn't helldivers 2_*

It looks like one can be easy counter, the problem is that normally, at least from what I have seen from videos is that more then 3 art active at a time after a short time, so the more time you take the more will be active and the harder it will be to dodge all the missiles coming your way

TYSM for this guide waited it. Next nutcracker.

Been wanting this.

HOORAY IT WAS MADE 🎉🎉🎉

You should the AI behind the Nutcrackers!

title made me think this was a conspiranoic video about birds being surveillance cameras... i gotta touch grass.

Thank You Man

YOOOO YOU SHOULD DO THE MASKED AI

ig idk if it counts as a death, but somehow on artifice one clipped through the floor and was gone forever.

the biggest map view damn

Now I know what to do when 1 old bird is chasing me now what do I do when they’re is 7 of them on me

I hope you will do one video on the new truck

BLIND DAWGS PLEASE

Is there any reskin mods for the old bird already? I like the original visual but I'm curious to see what people can think of

i thought they would fly by flapping their arms 😭

waiting for the ai on the company monster

I miss the clips you used in the begining encoutering the entities

heres some more info on old birds- he Old Bird (or RadMech in the game files) is an Entity in Lethal Company. Old Birds appear as humanoid, mech-like entities, often spawning on 5-Embrion and 68-Artifice. They are significantly tall, equipped with a large spotlight on their head, as well as three speakers, two of which are mounted on their shoulders, and another much larger one on their torso. Being purpose-built weapons of war, these entities are armed with ranged weaponry. Coupled with the ability to fly, and several different offensive capabilities. These armaments make the Old Bird a hazardous threat to employees when active RADAR Pip Size Large Power Level 3 Max Spawned 20 Traits Behavior Roaming (Walking and Flying) Chasing (Sprinting and Flying) Attack (Missile, Stomping, Squishing, Grabbing) Dwells Outside Vitality Shovel HP ∞ Shock Response Susceptible Offense Attack Damage 30 (Missile Attack) 10 (Stomp Attack) 70 (Squish Attack) 20 (Grab Attack) DPS Varies by distance (Missile/Stomp/Squish Attack). bestiary info The Old Bird is an autonomous, offensive weapon of war with a humanoid design. Measured at 19 feet tall and 11 feet wide, its two most defining visual features are the spotlight positioned on its head, capable of emitting 100,000 lumens, and the long-range acoustic device on its chest, sometimes referred to as a sound cannon. There are additional speakers on its shoulders used to broadcast sound a long distance. The Old Bird's left arm is a claw, and its right arm is a nozzle capable of both launching rocket-propelled grenades and torching at close-range with a very hot flame. Old Birds are one of the first extra-orbital weapons to be used and mass-produced. The subject of who developed the Old Birds has been an intense debate since their first recorded appearance on December 18 of 2143, when over fifty Old Birds invaded the Anglen Capital. This is considered one of the first major causes for the downfall of the Anglen Empire. The most commonly upheld theory takes into account the tension between the Anglen and Buemoch military throughout the 2100's, however nothing has been proven in the centuries since. The design of the Old Bird, down to the tempering of metals, appears intended to conceal its origin. It has been called the "walking ransom letter." Old Birds' legs function as rockets, which allows them to travel long distances and find targets efficiently. But the most likely reason this feature exists is to help them enter and land from orbit. The material and fuel Old Birds rely on is similar to those of passenger space craft from around 2130. Old Birds land and stay at their target planet forever. Although they often have more than enough fuel for just one trip, no behavior has been found in their programming which suggests they could choose to "migrate". Still, there are unverified accounts of Old Birds travelling autonomously to a new planet after hundreds of years of dormancy. The Old Bird was historically referred to as the "Al", based off the code name it was given by the English military, the "A16-L31". In 2384, however, the song "Old Birds" released as a cult hit by the post-punk project Under Remora; just three years later, in his most famous work of the same name, street artist Land Eyrie depicted the automotons flying and landing between planets in an arrangement similar to a flock of geese--this is generally considered one of the most iconic and influential images of modern culture and solidified the modern nickname. In 2356, 5-Embrion was classified as Condemned for the purposes of travel or settlement by the Boat; Old Birds were described by witness accounts as "lining the horizon". Though to this day they appear inoperative, there is a reasonable risk that many are still in sleep mode, so the planet will likely keep its status. The small moon was likely used as a testing ground for the Old Bird's flying and landing capabilities.

we need the dogs ai explained

how does the coil head have a higher hazard level than the most lethal monster in the game

I would appreciate a video on Mimics next. From my experience, they seem to have partial wall hacks. I've had Mimics cut corners to reach me even after breaking line of sight and moving away from the last place they've seen me.

YES, FINALLY

we need the ai behind eyeless dogs!

Unless the wiki page is wrong about this Old Birds have a fixed number of them that can be spawned on any of the maps, they're available on its why on Embrion you can literally see 20 of them because their spawn chance is high enough to allow that many to spawn (not to mention the outdoor spawn pool allowing it as well)

who put V1 from ultrakill in Lethal Company

Babe wake up, alter ego just explained the behavior of an digital carachter!!! 🤩

What's the song at the beginning????

Wait what mod are you using to allow for Twitch chat control now?
