The Cloaker is one of the special enemies in Payday 2, the cooperative heist shooter where players face waves of police units while completing robberies. Cloakers are feared for their speed and their ability to rush and incapacitate a player before teammates can react, so their distinctive voice lines became instantly recognisable to regular players. Short clips of those shouts spread through gameplay montages and meme edits as a shorthand for an enemy spotted out of nowhere, and the sound remains popular because it delivers tension and humour in just over a second.
