"scrap bot" concept

[nome]

so for example if you cut someone in half (lets say a spear 1) you could bring it's legs to him. then for an upgrade point, you can replace your legs with spear 1's legs (can work on any body part, and also it costs more upgrade points on how powerful the enemy bot is so for example attaching mark 5 sword arms to yourself will cost 5 upgrade points

This kinda feels it would cost too much especially when there's no real advantage over getting a mark 5 sword arm over the human sword arm. And when you're playing endless mode it's just way more cheap to repair yourself with the upgrade bot instead of spending 5 upgrade points (& saving upgrade points for 5 levels which is not worth doing in the early endless tiers) points for a limb that is no different from your normal limb with no benefits.

armor and repairs are much more worth your upgrade points at that point of the game then a upgrade that costs 5 upgrade points that basically does nothing and is a waste of upgrade points

what you're doing wrong is overreacting over criticism. anyway most of the time in endless mode the player doesn't have a spare 5 upgrade points during a level just to take a mk5's arm, not only that, this mechanic is also kinda useless in the early tiers in endless mode too since during that time you're meant to start building your way up to get all max upgrades to prepare for uranium and insanium as fast as possible, and the player shouldn't be wasting upgrade points that they could've gotten to prepare for higher difficulty tiers on this near useless mechanic

sure it allows you to repair during fighting but it's too expensive and gets less useful then it already is later on in the higher difficulty tiers, uranium/insanium, when the ONLY bots you'll be fighting are mk4s and mk5s which means you have to spend 4-5 upgade points to get a SINGLE limb, who even saves that much upgrade points at once?

ok since just 4 upgrade points is the end of the world for you the max cost is 2, happy now?

Not Really

i think you arent factoring in how you get all the upgrades on level 35 or something. so what should you do level 35 - until you die?

[nome]

should you get more upgrades even though you have all the upgrades?

[nome]

or if its useless up until that how about you only unlock it until you have every upgrade

Yes, getting repairs and armor.

The main problem is that it still costs upgrade points to get a limb, make it so you can take limbs for free as an expensive upgrade, then maybe it would be better

ok what if it costed no upgrade points but you have to manually drag the limb to scrap bot (speed is reduced)
