Do the bots shoot lasers or red tracer rounds?

Yes.

[Boczek121]

no

[Fluffyboi]

yes

[Mezore]

They shoot socialism and we shoot democracy. You didn't listen to the briefing, did you?

I never let them live long enough to see if they reload. That may be the technical answer to the question

[Æɴɪsᴏ]

Anti democracy rounds, effective against Helldivers all around.

lol,these responses are hilarious.. but i do believe the answer to the question is Lazer boltz of some kind, could be wrong.

[Khryst]

the fire red versions of the sickle.

probably plasma... Same as Star Wars blasters. Plasma encased within an electromagnetic field. Which explains why we can't use their ammo. And why it makes pew pew pew noises and not BRRRRRRT.

Lasers would be instantenous. You wouldn't even realistically see them. There is no laser weapon in this game. Realistically.

Hmmm...

Plants cause automaton non-rocket weapons of lower power to both slow down and deflect. I haven't used a sickle in a long time, but I would wager that automatons use some sort of ballistic. They also clearly use lasers (the pew-pew-pew double cannons + hulks + scout striders) and rockets (ignores plants and does not divert).

Maybe the general purpose automaton weapons use energy as a propellant, so rapid-fire gauss or railguns. Heavy devastators have backpacks which are filled with energy and the general trooper needs to cool down their weapons if they fire too much.

You can watch their weapons discharge heat, like our laser weapons, when they stop shooting. This are very likely laser or maybe plasma weapons, some sort of energy weapon for sure

[Darren Daulton]

They shoot sorrow and despair in light form.
