BioShock Infinite — which looks pretty awesome — is about to get even more awesome. Irrational Games revealed to G4TV some of the “Heavy Hitter” enemies for the game. What you see above is The Motorized Patriot, a clockwork mechanized George Washington complete with a Gatling gun called the pepper-mill. (Trailer and more pictures below.)
“Unlike most of the enemies, he’s completely fearless,” Irrational co-founder Ken Levine told us. “He doesn’t have a sense of self-preservation, so he’ll just keep coming at you and coming at you.
