In depth list of ALL the Bots so far. (OUTDATED)

I've noticed some misunderstanding and straight up misinformation about the bots. So I made an in-depth list of ALL of the bots in existence so far, what they do, how to deal with them, and how to track them down. This Guide may be outdated in a week since bots are constantly changing and evolving, but I'll try my best to keep up!

MYG)T Bots

These are the easiest bots to deal with. They don't try to leave if they are kicked so getting rid of them is easy; once you see them once in the server, they aren't coming back, except if it's a different bot. These are by far the biggest group of bots, easily consisting of more than 200+ unique accounts. It's extremely simple tracking these bots down using their custom link since they're are labeled incrementally. For example, if you see 2 bot and their profiles are something like "/id/gotbot1" and "/id/gotbot5", then you know for a fact that there's a "/id/gotbot2", "/id/gotbot3" and "/id/gotbot4". There are 2 types of these bots: The ones that have a my g0t profile picture and their name is MYG)T in both Steam and TF2, and the ones that have no profile picture and have their name as MYG)T in TF2 but something different on Steam. My g0t has recently been making numerous variation of their bots, there are now Church of G0T bots that are way harder to track down.

Furry Bots and Stallman Bots

These are your generic Cat bots, there's really not much to say here. They spam chat and don’t leave when a vote starts, so they’re pretty easy to get rid of. I haven’t encountered these bots personally, but I’ve seen people interact with them. These guys are also VERY easy to track down. To track down the Furry Bots just go to the Community Section on Steam and search for “Bot42069” or “FBOT”, scroll down and you should easily find them. For Stallman Bots, literally just search for “Stallman Bot”. One thing to note is that the Furry bots might have changed their names since they have a different profile picture now and bot owners tend to do this sort of thing, but I haven’t found a match with them recently so I’m not sure.

Raspy Bots, Boop Bots, Pazer Bots, Tantrum Bots and CAN YOU QUACK Bots

The recent raspy bots are actually CAN YOU QUACK Bots, but they changed their names. The reason why they changed their name is that someone made a Steam guide on how to reliably kick bots that were impersonating people, and the owner of the CAN YOU QUACK bots got angry at him and named the bots after him to frame him and make people harass him. These bots are extremely annoying to deal with but they have 1 flaw, if you kick them immediately when they join, they don't leave. However, if the match has few people and a lot of them join, then the server is a lost cause since they can easily avoid kicks; just leave and re-queue. These guys are simply impossible to track down without having to queue for a match and hoping to get a match with them. They have different names for TF2 and Steam, they don't have a custom URL, and you can’t reverse Google Image Search their profile picture. Only way to reliably track them down is by queuing and hoping to encounter them. Raspy Bots have recently been divided into Raspy and Boop/Pazer/Tantrum bots. Raspy bots act like the regular old raspy bots but boop bots spam chat accusing people of hacking. They say they are owned by my g0t but they are not MYG)T Bots, they are raspy bots that have been converted to boop bots.

Rick May was a Pedo Bots/Anti-LGBT Bots/[935] Sniper Bots

These bots are very similar to MYG)T bots, they spam chat and don’t leave when a vote is called so getting rid of them is very easy. These bots first started out as “Rick May was a Pedo” bots which they would spam comments about evidence of Rick May being a pedophile. They then changed their name to “Anti-LGBT” and now spam chat with anti-LGBT messages. The reason for the name change is currently unknown, a user commented that it might be because it's currently pride month. One thing to note is that the Discord Server they type in the chat is NOT the owner’s, the owner is just sending people to harass them. These guys are also next to impossible to track down for the same reason as the Raspy bots.

Edit: They're now called "[935] Sniper Bot"

Rainbow Dashie Bots and [VAC] OneTrick Bots

These guys are your standard cat bots, not much to say. They belong to a guy named [VAC] OneTrick but he later changed his name. They spam chat with their owner’s youtube channel and such. These guys are dead easy to track. All of these bots have their owner on their friend list, and the owner has all of his bots on his friend list.

Tarrant Bots

Another average bot. Headshotting everyone, spamming chat, and they don’t leave when a vote starts. These guys are also easy to track down, just search for “Tarrant Bot” on steam. I can't seem to find any screenshots of them and I didn't take one but they 100% exist and I know of at least 12 accounts of these bots.

Shadow The Hedgehog Bots

These guys are pretty funny. These guys are your standard hacking bot but they spam chat with Shadow The Hedgehog quotes and it’s pretty funny up until they headshot you out of nowhere, luckily they are really easy to get rid of because they don't queue up together and don't leave when a vote starts. These guys are easy to track down, just search for “Shadow The Hedgehog” and scroll down until you see a big clump of them with the same profile picture.

Bible Bots

These aren’t hacking bots, these are just micspam bots. They join a server, stay in spawn, and play audio of a guy reciting the bible. Not gonna lie these guys are pretty funny and in a way, wholesome. Compared to the hacking bots, these guys are a godsend. Not sure how to track these guys down since I only encountered one of them and I was too busy laughing at the chaos between the Bible Bot and 3 Raspy bots. These guys don't pose a threat, in fact, they've been around for a LOOOOONG time.

DISCO MOUSE Bots

Haven’t seen these guys recently, but I’m pretty sure these guys changed their names to CAN YOU QUACK, I don’t have evidence of that, however. These guys spam Disco music and headshot everyone, pretty standard stuff. They are super hard to track down and to get rid of for the same reasons as the Raspy Bots.

[TFPD] Hacker Bots

I forgot these guys existed but I was looking through some of my past streams and saw this guy pop up. They are VERY similar to the MYG)T bots that I'm pretty sure they're related in some way. Just thought to mention these guys just in case, but I really haven't seem them since.

WAMO Bots

Generic bots that spam chat by telling people to go subscribe to WAMO while saying racial slurs and homophobic remarks. There is currently NO EVIDENCE THAT WAMO IS THE REAL OWNER OF THESE BOTS. It may just be somebody framing him to ruin his career, please don't insult him, call him out or harass him . If you guys want to do something good, calmly ask the guy if he is aware of these bots, that's it. Theses bots don't try to avoid kicks, they just join a server and try to promote themselves as much as possible and rejoining a server goes against that. These guys are trivially easy to track down, just search for "WAMO [YT IN PROFILE]" and you'll find them.

Thank you ❀;Da;ko;❀ for giving me evidence of these bots!

Generic Cat Bots

These are any bots using cat-hook, which is training software that some bots use. These bots are very customizable and have A LOT of ridiculous features. Some of the previously mentioned bots that are 100% confirmed to be using cat-hook are the Rainbow Dashie/[VAC]OneTrick bots, the Furry bots and the Stallman bots. These guys are always very easy to deal with and track down. I'm mentioning cat bots as separate bots because there are some bots that use cat-hook but aren't as prevalent or widely known like the other bots.

Dishonorable Mentions

Some dishonorable mentions include all of the crash bots, lag bots and impersonator bots. Not making a separate section for each one because these bots aren't an issue AT ALL any more. There's also the RACIST bots that are prevalent in Australian servers, Engineer gaming bots and Anti-Muslim bots.

How to deal with the bots

The best sure-fire way to deal with the bots is making sure every TF2 players knows how to start a vote kick, that's it. If you think about it, the only bots that are a problem are the raspy bots since they leave before getting kicked, but every other bot doesn't. If every TF2 player knows how to start a vote kick and can see a bot join before they start causing any damage, this issue wouldn't bother anyone. However, if several bots join a server and they can't get kicked because they keep voting no, leave and join a different server. Finally, the most important thing to remember is to NEVER COMPLAIN OR BE ANGRY AT A BOT. The bots were made to annoy, enrage and overall cause chaos, and by showing any sign of you being annoyed or angry at them, then you are just feeding the owners exactly what they want. Some bots even log insults made at them in the TF2 Chat just for the owner to laugh at. So whatever you do, don't complain, don't get angry, simply report, block and kick.

If you guys have some doubts, want to learn more or know of a bot that isn't on the list, feel free to add me on steam or follow me on Twitch[twitch.tv], I'm always available to sit down and inform people. If you guys want me to add a bot to the list then I will need the following: Link to one of the bot accounts (preferably as many as possible), a brief description of their behavior and a screenshot of the bot in action.

EDIT: HUGE IMPORTANT DETAIL
