security bots question

[Rabble]

I am looking for their CPU but i can't seem to be able to destroy them.
Me and my friends been hitting one for a long time without damaging it.
What kind of weapons harm them?

[Maskedviper]

Pechary club plus a lot of dying and respawning plus shooting it with half a million crossbow bolts

[Rabble]

damn.

u can also try to kill him with electrical traps, best way for me btw

[Brother Pedro]

Yes, in the morning just break the charger and it'll wake them up. Then lead them into trap.

My friends and I put down three or four electrical traps, and led the bot to it, let him step on it, then attacked with melee. With the spear, you can get about 4 hits on it with enough time to backpedal, or 5 hits if you have a shield and hold block immediately after the 5th hit. Just kite the robot around the fountain with your shield up, lead him to the traps whenever they recharge, rinse and repeat.

I stabbed them with a spear while my friend shot at them with a crossbow. Worked like a charm.

[Slideshow]

I used a blade trap. The robot dies before the trap breaks down

[BartSoll]

i just shoot him with bolts from crossbow. was a long fight, but enough to kill him

[Trellek]

Clearly this is one of those problems with many solutions. I used a couple shock traps across each one's patrol path, plus a garbage can with some trip-mines on it with the lasers pointed at the charging station. Then just waited for nightfall.

i craft around 40 bold and just unload on one until it fall, i dont get hit and i dont die. i am playing solo

On the second floor there is an electrified water segment and a robot spawn across from it down a bridge hallway thing. You can lead the robot into the electric water and upon touching it, it will instantly die.

The robots can take damage from your normal weapons, it just has a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of HP.

Alternatively, in demo you were able to kite the robot into that one choppy thing you can build and shred it without needing to hit it. So you might be able to do that in current release.

Don't mean to hijack a thread, but does anyone know if the bots respawn?
My friend and I were setting up a base in the kitchen area on level 2, and the bot there went bananas and started destroying everything we set up, even after the night was over. We had to destroy it so it would stop before it broke everything, but we're worried that if we rebuild and it respawns the same thing will happen again.

I think you need to build a crafting station near a robot station.
It should block them from respawning.
If it works, the robot must disappear.

use a chopinator. lead the bot into it, it walks a direct line to you so its pretty easy to get it to walk into the trap. the trap will continually hurt it often stunning it and it'll try to attack that. i've killed many bots with it, nearly destroys the trap but always gets the bot. use a hammer to quickly repair the trap AFTER YOUVE UNPLUGGED IT AND LET IT STOP ROTATING (very important)

Adding to this, placing a shock trap right in front of the chopinator will occasionally shock the robot, making it harder for it to damage your trap. You can make the whole process even easier by using a hammer to repair your chopinator as it and the robot are damaging each other.

I've done all my robot kills required for the hacking tool this way and it's both safer and quicker than a lot of the methods mentioned here so far.
