A klaxon hangs above a city street, with another in the distance.
Loudspeakers, are electric devices hung above the streets of Dunwall, used to broadcast the news and announcements as read by the Propaganda Officer. They can also be used as alarms, and produce the sound of pealing bells, which alerts nearby guards and tallboys to possible threats.
Loudspeakers appear to be powered by whale oil. They can be dislodged by slicing at or damaging the cord holding them. These will fall on the ground and explode, killing most enemies directly under them and alerting guards.
Announcements
- "Attention Dunwall Citizens: The assassin Corvo, murderer of our beloved Empress and kidnapper of Lady Emily, heir to the throne, has escaped temporarily from confinement in Coldridge Prison."
- "Attention Dunwall Citizens: This is a special announcement from our honorable Lord Regent.-shifts to Hiram's voice- This is the Lord Regent speaking! It is with regret that I announce that my term has been extended to the Month of Harvest, and potentially on! In addition, the Overseers will continue their service to the state. We must all thank High Overseer Campbell for the generous donation of his services."
- "Attention Dunwall Citizens: High Overseer Campbell is no longer a citizen of Dunwall. He is now marked with the heretic's brand, and by the oldest traditions of the Abbey it is a minor criminal offense to offer him aid or shelter. In this time of spiritual crisis, the Abbey has initiated the feast of painted kettles in order to determine a new High Overseer."
- "Citizens and visitors to our city, by order of the Regent, the curfew is now active! All foot traffic along Kaldwin's Bridge is prohibited form dusk 'til dawn."
- "Attention Dunwall Citizens: Walls of light are erected for your safety. However, they will respond to any touch with lethal force. It is a misdemeanor to throw any object, animal or person into the wall of light whether for amusement, or criminal offense."
- "Attention Dunwall Citizens: The corrupt and illegitimate reign of the Lord Regent has finally come to an end. Long live the empress!"
