A hack I found out with this level years ago towards the end when all the robots appear is to first kill all the fast ones. Once you're sure there are none left, you run back, take control of the security railbot in that circular room and aim at the doorway they come through. When you see the feet of each robot show up, shoot at them until they drop. Since they aren't fully in view, they can't shoot back at the railbot. Plus the railbot has unlimited ammo.
That is what I did in my run since fighting them head on is an absolute joke. Since there are a bunch of them and they have homing launchers. You will also have barely any ammo at that point on top of it. Basically devs saying, “go fuck yourself player.”
Good lord, the rhythmic thumping of the Security Bots' footsteps still gives me nightmares. That was a ballsy run, man. I don't think there's many who even attempt to go toe-to-toe with those things. I know I always cheese 'em wherever possible. Easily the hardest campaign mission in the series. Certainly the most stressful, at least.
@@upy0ur5 I just downloaded TS2 yesterday, after not having played it in over a decade, and just got through Atom Smasher last night on Hard. That was brutal, just for the time windows they give you Currently going through the Robot Factory, and ammo is extremely scarce 😂 I'll be glad to see the end of this level. Absolutely loving the nostalgia though, for a 20 year old game.
I forgot the name of the level in timesplitters future perfect but when I played this after that game I was like the machine wars section of the story was my favorite in the whole game! PS timesplitters 2 came out in the year I was born!
Next to Planet X and Atom Smasher, this level was one of the hardest especially on Hard difficulty before the final Space Station level. I had to crank out a lot to get this one complete on Hard. Total throwback. So many laser weapons shooting you. Too much s*** thrown at you here at the Robot Factory! 🤖🤖😱💯
If you really look at it, this level isn’t hard in terms of its general layout. What makes it horseshit is the ammo scarcity and the sentry bots being absolute bullet sponges.

Since we run out of ammo on this level, its a good tactic so long as you are not hell bent on speedrunning the level.

Its indeed the hardest mission in the series for sure! Yea I made it interesting to say the least haha.
I still give that crown to Atomsmasher. This is a close 2nd though.

fuark!!! my adrenaline is pumping just watching this. esp near the end
It was a good day when I finally beat this level on hard.
I beat this on hard on back in the day as I did every mission. I don't think in my adult life I have the skill or patience to any more. Good work!
Thanks! Yea this level is brutal on hard. It really requires patience when doing it on hard.
Robot Factory. Oh boy. That level is fucking hard as the devil's nails from hell on hard mode!
Its awful on hard this level and easily the hardest level of all time in the series.
Facing the Machinist boss was the most terrifying thing 14 year old me had to face back then. 😳
Now that wasn't an easy mission.
Hardest mission of all TimeSplitters story history!!

I found Planet X pretty easy TBH.
The levels I found the hardest replaying them recently is....
Robot Factory
Atom Smasher
Wild West
This is back when game designers didn't bother to test their level design.
This game was carnage!
I woke up in a new Bugatti

You can save ammo by punching the turret robots get up close and keep circling and they can't hurt you.
