How to stop those damn repair bots in the city?

They keep respawning

Blow up the Hawk's power relay which disables the network.

You can also shock the hives to temporarily disable them.

But this is the reason all the soviet military were executed. Machines' repair ability makes them an unrelenting force.

Your main defense is to rip and tear.

Yeah. I remember being really annoyed by the never ending wave of repair bots. Later on you can down Hawks to stop them from spawning. It lasts 40 minutes give or take.

The overworld wasn't much of a problem for me. You can run away if you trigger the alarm because they don't follow you that far and the alarm level drops rather quickly once you leave.

I played on Normal difficulty and the repair bots don't respawn infinitely inside buildings except in a few special areas like the algae lab with the cable car. In Pavlov, for instance, there were a ton of repair bots at first but eventually the dispensers ran out of energy and stopped producing them.

In the overworld, repair bots are too derpy to go inside buildings with small doors, so if I destroyed a robot inside, it stayed dead until I left. It's also easy in most cases to pop into buildings for protection. The largest, most dangerous robots usually can't fit through the door so it's easy to pick them off from inside.

Like others have said, there's no reason to stick around and disable the HAWK after you open the doors you need unless you're gathering materials, and even if you don't want to make the effort to disable the HAWK you can Shok the cameras first and get away with a lot of kills without triggering an alarm, though repair bots will come.

If you do disable the HAWK, the time limit is very generous. Scanning makes finding chests easy and it takes little time to clear an area of loot.

The edges of the zones aren't heavily patrolled so you can avoid most encounters. The area near the Pavlov complex was probably the most difficult to get through since it's a narrow zone, but that's pretty far into the game so by now you should have enough experience with the overworld.

Just run away, the overworld exists only to get resources. Kill, repeat until you get what you need, then run. They forget about you very quickly.

Anyone on here saying they repair infinitely for farming, that is absurd. You will have a stupid amount of resources by end game, as long as you properly loot main story areas. No farming needed at all. Also I'm not even sure if repaired enemies continue to drop resources.

Yes that's why I say you can "abuse" the system if you really find it hard.
That's why the hardcore is easy tho, when I started it I never used guns (except for brown repairs bots as I said) and I was full close range because I thought ammos would be rare (silly me lol).
I think I was waiting too much from the hardcore path, it was easier than I thought (and boy the Zvezdochka is broken)

When playing games in maximum difficult, farming can be a key mechanic... but you don't really need it there that's true. So there's no excuses to say the game is hard

Just ignore the open world robots untill you can shut down the hawk. Run past them inside houses, loot them and move on. Its a waste of time fighting the robots as they will just respawn. You can also shok the cameras and the repair bots won't try to repair them, will keep them shut down for a short while to get past.

You can't blow up the first hawk you come across before the fight with the Hedgie, later on you can.

I finished that mission and the option to overload that hawk was still greyed out.

You will quickly learn to completely avoid any areas with infinite spawning repair bots, just run right through it, even camera's, run right past, level 2 alarm? Who cares, keep running, once you get inside a building or story area the alarm will quickly drop back to 0. It's not worth the time and effort at all. Basically the world map is just there to find and unlock all the testing chambers for new weapon upgrades, aside from that ignore everything. Feel free to kill every last enemy in main story areas though.

The open world has many chests with recipes of all kind. Rushing through it probably means missing many upgrades

And missing Chirpers plus dead people you can talk to. Even though both the achievements related to those are bugged.

You can't stop them. There's a main hub thing that you can destroy that will shutdown robots for a while but even that's not permanent. The issue you're having is one of the reasons why I refunded the game.

its not a stealth game. copeseethmald

Nah, but, I made it fairly well by not drawing tons of attention. The running allows you to get away, and the rebuilding just makes it more challenging to get to the tasty loot and training centers..

Well it kinda is a stealth game in that way.
If it wasn't one you wouldn't have an instant takedown from behind. And you wouldn't need to avoid cameras or run away to reduce alarms at all.

It's a mixed bag, as a polyvalent player I'm fine with the mix of story lore oriented fps open world loot infiltration with puzzles game

[Cellulanus]

Just keep killing them until they stop spawning. Focus on the blue ones as the combat ones usually don't aggro and will just go back into the spawner. Once they've stopped they won't start up again until something riles them up again, like destroying a new bot.

Also lure robots indoors where possible. They tend to get stuck on roofs and can't repair their targets.

This is not a Soulslike, it´s a Shooter!

And in Dark Souls Enemies are dead till you die.

in a way, it is similar...

Not really. If i kill an enemy in Dark Souls it stays dead till i die.

In Atomic Heart the enemies come back in Seconds......
