Cloakers were introduced as a special police unit in Payday 2, released in 2013 by Overkill Software, and quickly became infamous for ambushing players with sprinting drop kicks. Their distorted radio voice lines were clipped and shared across gaming forums and video edits, where short taunts worked well out of context. This line survived because it flips the usual intimidation, making the unit sound suddenly self-aware. It is now reused in streams and compilations whenever a hyped-up opponent in games like enemy spotted moments is taken down with little effort.
