  • Removed:
    • 109 health gain on hit
• Array Seven
  • Changed:
    • Increased uber duration from 1.5 to 4 seconds
      • Array Seven being arguably the weakest of the medic choices due to how easy it is for humans to run away during the crits, increasing the duration should make it stronger and make him worth using compared to the other burst uber robots
• Black Shiv
  • Fixed using incorrect footstep sounds

Backend

• Removed “BOSS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE” Spam chat message whenever a point was captured
• Optimized code so all robots use one line of code to set the health instead of each robot individually setting it

  • Air Strike:
    • Changed:
      • Increased clip size increase on kill from 4 to 8
  • Liberty Launcher:
    • Added:
      • Gunboats: -90% rocket jump damage
      • Mantreads: +30% movespeed bonus
        • Now Liberty Launcher gives bonuses to all soldiers unlocks
• Shotguns
  • Added:
    • +25% bonus damage vs jumping robots
• Reserve Shooter
  • Changed:
    • Reduced the damage bonus vs jumping robots from +100% to +75%
      • The thought behind the shotguns dealing more damage to robots when they are jumping is to make robots pick a ground game or a jumping game. Where snipers are good vs non-jumping robots and shotguns are good vs jumping robots, meaning the robots can choose which option to pick depending on what the humans do. If there are multiple shotgun users it will be better for them to not jump even if there are a few snipers.

Robots

• Robots with Stomp
  • Changed:
    • Increased fall damage from 50 to 100
    • Reduced stomp damage from 500 to 125
• Disrutpors
  • Removed:
    • Bonus coin generation
      • Given how impactful disruptor suicide is and how it snowballs hard if done right, it’s better to keep the economics of the robots steady. That way it’s easier to count robot deaths to see how much coins they would have and add another element to master in this gamemode
• Lister, Samwiz, Mechaface
  • Removed:
    • Incorrect bonus coin on death
• Tone Techniciaon

    • Larger dispenser size
      • This was moved to a new robot instead
• Elmaxo
  • Changed:
    • Firerate bonus from +10% to +25% faster
    • Damange peanlty vs players from -15% to -25%
      • This older design is more fair to fight for humans as the less damage makes it so he has to be closer to secure a kill, thus allowing for more counterplay for humans, this bot is still amazing at picking off lone humans with relative ease, and with these damage values, he struggles in larger groups of humans, making him a balanced robot

Robots

• Carbine Cassidy
  • Removed:
    • Cloaking on Crickey!
    • Crits whenever it would Mini-crit
  • Changed:
    • Reduced clip size from 20 to 6
    • Reduced damage bonus to players from +202.5% to +180%
      • At the longest range, hitting all 6 shots will deal 66 damage. This change also affect headshot damage. 1 headshot now deals 86 damage
• SolarLight
  • Added:
    • Iron Bomber
      • +300% Charge time increased
  • Changed:
    • Reduced health from 3000 to 2000
    • Reduced movement penalty from -50% to -25% slower
    • Now uses the non-boss demo model for faster run animation
    • Sword: Charge time increased from 300% to 400%
  • SolarLight has been in a weird spot where he wasn’t really good as a clean demoman, and wasn’t really good as a demoknight, with the change to his health and speed, he should be in a unique spot to be able to do both roles better, without overshadowing the pure grenade robots or the melee robots
• Mortar Mack
  • Changed:
    • Increased clip size from 18 to 20
• Hypescout
  • Added:
    • On Enemy Player Hit: Launch forward 150HU forward 300HU upwards
• Artillery
  • Added:
    • Airstrike On Kill Clip bonus
    • Up to 8 bonus clip based on kills
  • Changed:
    • Reduced starting clip bonus from 6 to 2
    • This change is to give Artillery a bit of a rolling start, where he’s not as strong when he spawns, but becomes stronger the longer he stays alive. He’s a bit stronger than before late game, but a lot weaker in the early game
• Dewill
  • Added:
    • Airstrike On Kill Clip bonus
• Equalizor
  • Changed:
    • Increased cost from 1 to 4 RC per robot
• Terminator, Executor, Gotham Protector, B4nny

      • 75% slower reload speed
      • -50% projectile speed
      • -85% damage vs buildings
  • Cost: Free
  • Designed by: HiGPS
    • This robot is an exaggerated version of SolarLight’s initial design Iron Bomber, where he is slow, very tanky and small range, but lethal at that low range. Being the opposite of Mortar Mack’s mid-range explosive one shot style

Backend

• Multi Building Attribute
  • Fixed a bug (hopefully), where buildings sometimes wouldn’t show up on the HUD of the Engineer.
• Self Boost on Hit Attribute
  • Added an option clamp to prevent weapons that have multiple hits from stacking and giving turbo launch power

Humans

• Electric Weapons + Changed: + Increased heal debuff duration from 1 to 5 seconds

• Medic

  • Blutsauger
    • Changed
      • Increased healing reduction from medics from -45% to -65%

Robots

• Zonical
  • Changed:
    • Reduced switch duration bonus from 1.5 to 1 second
    • Increased damage bonus vs players from +125% to +200%
    • Reduced fire rate penalty from -150% to -300% slower
    • Removed faster reload speed bonus
    • This change makes it so long range non-crit dmg will be 38 per shot, and min-crit shots will be 71 up close 61 long range. And only the first 3 shots if you hold attack button down will be mini-crit. This should make it more rewarding considering how hard this robot is to play
• Carbine Cassidy
  • Removed:
    • Clip size penalty
• Bearded Expense
  • Removed:
    • 10 second crit bonus on kill
  • Added:
    • 10 second speed boost on kill
      • Bearded leap goes a lot further when speed boosted
  • Changed:
    • Increased melee range from 40% longer to 50%
  • Bearded has been a go to tank that is very easy to play and is very tanky, has high mobility and high killpower, often overshadowing the KGB bot. Since the GRU normally focuses on speed rather than crit like the KGB, I decided to remove this to make Bearded more distinct from the Boxing Champ robot, which uses the KGB. He still does 98 damage each hit, and now offers more counter play and will most likely play more like a tank that isn’t a damage type as well. With more focus on mobility than raw damage.
• Megaton
  • Changed:
    • Reduced melee range bonus from +75% to +60% longer
• NoFungineer
  • Removed:
    • Pomson cloak and uber drain
      • Being hit by a stray pomson you had no idea of seeing and losing all the uber wasn’t very fun, especially now that medic uber rates have been severely nerfed, it doesn’t make sense for NoFungineer to be able to instantly delete 30 to 45 seconds of progress without any setup or commitment with his current short circuit game being very good.
• Zonical
  • Changed:
    • Increased dispenser health to 600
    • Increased scale by 200%
• Bursty
  • Changed:
    • Reduced damage penalty vs players from -80% to -45%
• Loch’n Larry
  • Changed:
    • Reduced damage penalty vs players from -65% to -30%
    • The sentry buster bots have been very one dimensional and while the design of being good against sentries and trash against humans is very punishing considering you are sacrificing a crucial robot slot to this one thing. Since they are paid they can also be OK vs humans instead
• Spies
  • Changed:
    • Reduced healing from sappers pr tick from 25 to 5
    • Spies healing from sapping may be too good, but Robot spies are very hit and miss, and reducing the healing should make sense, as their original purpose is an alternative to sentry buster for clearing sentry nests and sustaining a lot, it some cases the sustain was simply too powerful in certain player numbers and scaled way too much with lower player counts
• Tone Techniciaon
  • Added:
    • +3 Capture rate bonus

Backend

• Robot Engineer Attributes
  • Added:
    • Code to allow for setting custom build level on build
      • This means buildings can start at LVL2 or LVL3

Humans

• Soldier & Demoman
  • Half Zatoichi:
    • Changed:
      • Increased health on hit from 15 to 25
        • 35 was too much, 15 was too little, maybe 25 is just right

• Stealthed Robots
  • Added:
    • Electric weapons removes stealth on hit
  • Changed:
    • Bleed now removes stealth on each bleed tick on hit
  • Removed:
    • Fire no longer removes stealth
  • This only applies to the Mr Paladin and Cloaker stealth cloak, regular cloak is unaffected by this
• B4nny
  • Removed:
    • Doing damage yields damage bonus buff
• Zonical
  • Changed:
    • Reduced switch duration bonus from 1.5 to 1 second
    • Increased damage bonus vs players from +125% to +200%
    • Reduced fire rate penalty from -150% to -300% slower
    • Removed faster reload speed bonus

• Skymin
  • Changed:
    • Increased uber charge rate penalty from -15% to -25% slower
      • The latest change with longer duration and faster build rate med the vaccinator charges a little too common, this reduction should make there be more time between each vaccinator charge without it crippling the robot’s power
• Dr Crossbow Cop
  • Changed:
    • Increased heal bolts needed for buff from 10 12
    • Reduced clip size from 3 to 2
    • These changes made Crossbow cop way too easy and good compared to the effort needed, as he was fine how he was originally, just not played that much
• Carbine Cassidy
  • Added:
    • +102.5% damage bonus vs players
  • Changed:
    • Reduced headshot damage from +200% to +100%
  • This change makes hitting all 4 shots in volley the following: 4xBodyshot=52 at max range.4xHeadshot=386 4xMini-critBodyShot=196. With these changes the reward is larger to match the difficulty of this robot
• Crocotron

Humans

• Engineer, Medic, Heavy, Soldier
  • Added:
    • Voicelines when hurting and destroying a robot of the Sentry Buster class

Robots

• High Power Mode
  • The opposite of Low Power Mode
  • Happens when there are not enough robots (nobody volunteering)
  • Scales down damage taken from robots
• Boxing Champ
  • Changed:
    • Crouch dash activates mini-crits instead of crits
      • Being able to get free crit on a button press is very strong, with mini-crit there is more dodge possibilities for humans while keeping the snowball effect of the robot the same
• Engineers
  • Added:
    • Missing damage penalty vs buildings on primary and secondaries
      • This was an oversight, but Engineers aren’t primarily used as sentry busters, but in theory they could if played right
• Zonical
  • Removed:
    • Faster firing speed when deploying pistol
    • Faster reload time when deploying pistol
  • Added:
    • On Weapon Switch to Pistol: Mini-crits for 1.5 seconds

    • Reduced weapon spread bonus from +85% to +75% more accurate
    • Reduced building health bonus from +132% to +60% more
  • Added:
    • On Weapon Switch to Pistol: Hype cosmetic effect
  • This design is more in ligh with what the quickshot had in Creators.TF

Backend

• Added robot difficulty tags. This is only used to make you randomly spawn as an easy robot when you are put on the robot team first. The robots have been marked internally as EASY, MEDIUM and HARD. What determines the difficulty is things you have to keep track of.
  • Example: Big Joey: EASY: You only point and shoot. Can get value doing anything really. Missing is not a big deal
    • Errors in play not that punishing
  • Example: Terminator: Medium: You can still play like normal, but you get the better results if you play a different way. Missing is somewhat a problem sometimes
    • Errors in play somewhat punishing
  • Example: Tone Technician: Hard: You have to play a very specific way or else you’re useless. Missing makes you basically useless
    • Errors in play severely punishing
• Added additional logic checks to prevent errors in cases where a voiceline would try to play on a player that disconnected

• Zonical
  • Removed:
    • On Weapon Switch to Pistol: Mini-crits for 1.5 seconds
  • Changed:
    • On Weapon Switch to Pistol: Fire speed bonus from +25% to +50% faster
  • Added:
    • On Weapon Switch to Pistol: Hype cosmetic effect
  • Being able to have constant mini-crits on a sentry by just swapping weapons was strong at times, but not in the spirit of what the design was, now we’ve increased the firing speed instead to make it harder for the bot to manage the timing to get hte most effect out of the ability
• Firelord
  • Changed:
    • Increased health from 4000 to 5000
• Fatmagic
  • Added:
    • On Jarated: 4 second speed boost
  • Removed:
    • Unintended +75% damage bonus vs players
    • On Jarated: 1 second of Uber
  • Changed:
    • Reduced movespeed bonus from +10% faster to -10% slower
    • Reduced jarate recharge rate from +75% to +60% faster
      • Fatmagic has been way to good for way to long, this robot gave way to much results compared to how hard he is to play compared to the other melee robots. This new change makes him easier to focus down, while still keeping his jarate focus, but not as strong. The effect reduction means that when his jarate is over that’s when he has jarate again, making it easier to read for opponents
• Elmaxo
  • Changed:
    • Reduced Fire rate bonus from +25% to +10% faster
    • Reduced damage penalty from -25% to -15%
      • Elmaxo can move fairly uncontested and pressure whoever he wants at any time without the humans being able to do very little even with a pyro, his overall damage is the same, but the hits will feel more meaty as less rockets are required to hit, but the fire rate is slower, overall this should feel more soldiery
• Riotcop
  • Changed:
    • Increased Taunt buff duration from 4 to 5 seconds
      • This allows Riotcop to fire one additional shot that is mini-crit than before
• RoboKnight
  • Changed:
    • Increased move speed penalty from -15% to -20%
      • This changes the threshold of certain speeds with some heads, making it easier to counterplay until he gets his 4 kills

    • Reduced movespeed penalty from -20% to -10%
• Dr. Crossbow Cop
  • Changed:
    • Reduced Heal Bolt requirement from 12 to 10

    • -5% move speed penalty
      • Slightly faster than a standard class. Robo spies will move at 304 while average class moves at 300

    • Reduced height from +65% to +50% taller
• Trickster
  • Changed:
    • Tricksize reduced from +15% taller to -10% shorter

      • Reduced uber gained on hit vs robots from a factor of 4 to a factor of 5.

      • +200% primary ammo
  • Huntsman
    • Removed:
      • Bleed on hit
• Soldier
  • Liberty Launcher
    • Changed:
      • Reduced banner buff duration from 200% to 100% longer duration
    • Added:
      • +1 Clip size bonus
      • +50% clip size on shotguns
    • The Liberty Launcher had a very one dimensional use where you sacrificed damage in order to have longer banners and it didn’t combo with shotguns at all, now it can do a tiny bit more damage with the added clip size, in addition to buffing any shotgun the soldier will run, making shotgun loadouts more viable
• Bleed and Fire
  • Added:
    • Now removes the stealthed condition on hit that Mr.Paladin and Cloaker provides
      • Since stealth is so strong, it needs to be easier to deal with as fire and bleed lasts shorter while stealthed. With this change Pyros and bleed users can counter this more easily. If Mr.Paladin gets a new stab he will be stealthed again even if he is already burning or bleeding and the same goes for Cloaker. If a robot stands in Cloakers buff radius they will be visible for a brief moment before being cloaked again

• Mr. Paladin
  • Changed:
    • Reduced stealthed on kill buff duration from 10 to 5 seconds
      • Being able to kill while invisible is really strong, combined with how easy it is, the balance of how hard it is to do, vs the rewards and how hard it is to counter didn’t add up, thus the counter measures were added and the duration reduced, while still keeping it’s chain stab ability potent
• Black Shiv
  • Fixed robot using incorrect footstep sounds
• Teamporter
  • Added:
    • Teamporter now displays status of teamporters before 100% charge

    • Changed:
      • Increased respawn time from 4 to 8 seconds
  • Mad Milk & Fan’O War
    • Changed:
    • Set debuff duration to only last 4 seconds vs robots

    • Starts with Ability available

  • Changed:
    • Movespeed bonus from +30% to +15% faster

  • Added:
    • Missing -85% damage done to buildings
• Quick-Shielder

    • Reworked Carbine to be centered around burst fire sniping, trying this concept to see if it’s feasable as a pick class similar to other snipers, but a bit different. The burst fire timing is similar to that of the Grunts in Half-Life 1. A clear weakness is that this robot is very easily bullied by flinching
• Hype Scout

  • Speed: MAX SPEED
  • Weapons
    • Soda Popper
      • -45% dmg vs buildings

Humans & Robots

• MvM Shield

    • On Hit: Drains Shield-Meter by 5% when the shield is active

• Spy
  • Changed:
    • Reduced On Stab Resist Rune duration from 2 to 1 second
      • 2 seconds was very generous and made spies able to make low effort stabs and survive with ease. This may need more tweaking, but we will test this for now

title: “Shield Heavy and Robot Engineer Nerf” author: “Heavy Is GPS” categories: [“updates”,”mm”] —

Humans

• Composition Tip System
  • Added:
    • Added basic composition tip system
    • Will currently only display if there’s too few engineers, pyros, power classes or medics on the human team
    • Use !showcomptips to toggle on/off:
• Sniper
  • Sniper Rifle
    • Removed:
      • Bmod ammo penalty on primaries
  • Huntsman
    • Added:
      • Ammo bonus to total 25 arrows

Robots

• Robot Engineers
  • Changed:
    • Reduced amount of dispensers to 1 for all Engibots
    • Reduced bonus repair rate from +300% to +200%
      • The effort of setup and repair compared to the teamwork required to take it down was very much in the robots favor, this should make easier to take down sentries with less as the sustain isn’t 3 times that of a normal engineer
• Dr Grordbot
  • Changed:
    • Reduced damage dealt by electroball by -90%, making it deal 2 damage instead of 20 per tick
      • This item is meant to be a disruption tool to temporarily set humans out of position, having the killpower it did made it too easy to get team wipes with no counter play for humans
• General Crits
  • Removed:
    • Faster firing speed based off health
      • While a fun mechanic, it’s not suited for a crit only boss as it made this boss a must pick in most situations
• Zero G
  • Added:
    • -375% slower reload
    • -10% slower firing speed
  • Changed:
    • Reduced blast radius bonus from +75% to +25%
    • Reduced clip size bonus from +40% to +20%

    • Reduced fire speed bonus from +80% to +25% faster
    • Reduced clip size bonus from +200% to +50% larger
• Quick Shielder
  • Changed:
    • Increased cost from 4 to 6 RC per robot
• Shield Heavy
  • Removed:
    • +35% faster fire speed bonus
  • Changed:
    • Increased cost from 5 to 6 RC per robot
      • The Natascha has no slow, only the -25% damage penalty, making this robot more of a support defensive robot than one with high kill power. We will continue to monitor the win rate and usage of shields, as it seems that whenever double shields are in, there’s an instant win with little to no counter play that the humans can do

Removed from Roster

• Enforcer
  • While being a better and more tanky Riot Cop version, this robot didn’t really change all that much compared to riot cop and has therefore been removed to make way for the return of the shield heavy
• Stickler
  • Our current boss roster serves it’s purpose, as we now have a boss of each archetype

Backend

• Robot Tips
  • When killed by a robot, a hintbox will show up with tips on how to defeat the robot
• Human Stat bonuses
  • Fixed a bug where human stat bonuses would sometimes display in chat for robots

Backend

• Queue points
  • Added an additional logic check to ensure players didn’t get their QP set to 0 without becoming a robot under certain circumstances

Humans

• Spy
  • Backstab:
    • Removed:
      • Really loud backstab sound
        • Further gameplay has shown that if the robots get a too clear indication of getting backstab, spies become essentially useless, as spy is a class that feeds of chaos so he should be able to get value out of this here as well
    • Added:
      • Gain Mvm No crit defense buff for 2 seconds on backstab
  • Kunai:
    • Changed:
      • Increased max overheal from 210 to 275 hp on robot backstab
  • Spycicle:
    • Removed:
      • Slow on backstab
    • Added:
      • Applies -30% damage penalty on backstab that lasts 3 seconds.
  • Tip:
    • Fixed spy teamporter tip not displaying
• Scout
  • Bat:
    • Fixed an incosistency in the logic where the buff would get applied to other weapons when only switching the bat
• Engineer
  • Gunslinger:
    • Removed:
      • Additional sentry

Robots

• Mount Command
  • The command !mt now only spawns the bumper car to be consistent with animation start and end times.
• Saxtron Hale
  • Changed:
    • Reduced health from 6500 to 4500
      • Saxtron Hale remains one of the most disruptive bosses, gaining a tremendous amount of value in terms of mobility and the stun mechanic can really cripple a team without much effort from the boss, leaving little counter play. The less health should more sync up with his cost and overall speed
• Hoovy
  • Changed:
    • Reduced move speed bonus from +35% to +30% faster
      • The Hoovy offered a way too easy way to chain stun targets in certain areas, with this lower move speed he now has the same speed as a steak buffed heavy
• Snipers
  • Changed:
    • Reduced health from 2000 to 1250
  • Removed:
    • Jump height bonus
  • Added:
    • Blast Jump Spell - 50 second cooldown
  • Now that players have actually learned to play the robot snipers, they are now reverted back to their original design, only with a low mobility spell to allow them to get to some hard to reach spots, however this can now only be done once 50 seconds, giving disruptive players a chance to harass or force the snipers to relocate
• Dr. GrordBot
  • Changed:
    • Reduced unintended damage bonus from +25% to -20%
    • Increased spell cooldown from 25 to 45 seconds
• Back Up
  • Changed:
    • Bufftype from Battalions backup to MvM verison that don’t have reistances to crit
      • This is to be more consistent with MvM logic, this bot was also a menace with how health stacking works for robots here and offered way too much sustain compared to the cost and risk of running him, and there was literllay no counterplay, at least now you can crit focus them down

Backend

• Spell casting
  • Made a custom attribute for spell casting halloween spells
• Boss Sound
  • Added further logic checks to prevent the music to be played twice

      • This allows players the option to be first person when controling the rockets
    • Rockets are now controled using movement keys instead of the mouse

      • Reduced damage penalty vs buildings from -75% to -65%

  • Changed:
    • MIRV explosion is now triggered by pressing M2

    • Reduced move speed penalty from -50% to -15%

  • Being able to jump around and being slow didn’t really fit this robot, giving them the Elmaxo approach as a demo seems more fitting, which is why the demo runs and was given the parachute back at the cost of health
• Crocotron
  • Sniper Rifle
    • Removed:
      • Mincrits become crits
      • Being able to crit so easily made him devestating when combined with a buff banner soldier

  • Changed:

    • Removed:
      • On Hit: Applies mad milk syringe

Robot Balance

• Kappy
  • Added:
    • On Hit: Marks target for death for 10 seconds
    • With limited killpower and being a fairly unique robot, being able to mark for death and see outline through walls fits this robot better

    • Category from Damage to Support

    • Reduced reload penalty from -100% to -30% slower

  • Changed:
    • Reduced max health from 9000 to 6000

    • Hits all players connected to the same heal source
    • On Hit: Gain speed boost for 1 second
    • 25% longer melee range
    • -65% damage done to buildings
• Cost: Free
• Designed by: HiGPS
• A pyro designed to get massive value out of ambushing cart stacking and players who are healed, mainly in low player scenarios where vaccinator heavies run supreme. Tip: Combine with Cloaker for massive surprise attack!

Robot Balance

• Tanks
  • Removed:
    • Aiblast Immunity
  • Added:
    • 90% airblast push force resistance
  • Tanks not being able to get airblasted doesn’t really fit with what the pyro can do. Passively negating an entire class’s ability with no effort isn’t fun for the pyro. As the meta has evolved there’s certain situations if the robots run double tank that there’s nothing the humans can do other than let them have the area, with this pyro’s are able to at least do something about their presence
• Medics
  • Added:
    • 100% heal rate bonus
  • This was somethign we removed, just to confirm that robot medics without additional heal rate is trash and not worth playing
• Bosses
  • Changed:
    • Increased RC cost from 1 to 2 per Robot
  • Bosses was were fairly cheap and not too much of an investment as long as you just had the TC to do it, with this change the bosses will require some more managing of RC spending
• Engineers
  • Changed:
    • Repair rate bonus from +400% to +300%
  • Robot engineers sustain is a little too high, this reduction allows buildings to go down more easily from constant human pressure
• Volcanyro
  • Removed:
    • Heal on kill
  • Changed:
    • Reduced melee range bonus from 40% to 25%
    • Crits vs burning to min-crit vs burning players
    • Reduced speed bonus on hit from 2 to 1 second
    • Reduced explosion damage from 30 to 10
  • Added:
    • -65% damage done to buildings
  • Being able to be as fast and 2 shot all classes was a bit strong with little counterplay. Now this pyro gets more value of hitting a group and not killing the initial target
• Sentry Buster
  • Changed:
    • Increased cost to 1 RC per robot
    • Reduced explosion radius from 500 to 250 HU
  • The sentry buster was way too strong and way too cheap, resulting in many games where robots just spammed it until it won. With the increased cost it’s spamability should be less as well as it’s effective wipe potential with the less range. As it should match the explosion more (was bigger than the effect prior).
  • Tip: As an engineer, if you sit behind your sentry making it block the line of sight from the sentry buster as it blows up, you will survive
• Mortar Mack
  • Changed:
    • Increased reload speed penalty from -210% to -370% slower
  • Removed:
    • 15% faster projectile speed
  • Mortar Mack has been a staple of burst fire robot power, however with the previous timing of the bombs exploding and a new volley being fired, the time between these voleys have been increased to give some elbow room for humans to move past after the explosion which was previously impossible
• LED
  • Changed:
    • +20% faster reload speed to -200% slower reload speed
  • LED is a fairly easy and decent robot that had a lot of spam potential, with the increase in reload speed it should open more possibilites for humans to do something in between the barrages
• Cluster Bomber
  • Changed:
    • Reduced reload speed bonus from +50% to +25% faster
• Dreysidel
  • Changed:
    • Increased reload speed penalty from -75% to -275% slower
  • Dreysidel remained a very potent area denail robot with little openings once the mines had been laid, now due to reloading 8 stickies at once, there’s more openings for humans to do something and requires more skill of the user to get good results
• Solar Light
  • Changed:
    • Increased reload speed penalty from -25% to -200% slower
  • Solar Light has been very easy and spamable, with many not really using his demoknight kit, with this change, as there’s a lot more time between voleys, we should see more usage of the hybrid style
• Toofty
  • Added:
    • -100% slower reload speed penalty
  • Having high mobility and high damage dealing pipes, he should have more down time between volleys
• Riotcop & Enforcer
  • Added:
    • Reduced clip size to 1
  • Removed:
    • +70% Faster reload speed
    • -100% Slower firing speed
  • Changed:
    • Taunt effect from crita-cola to buff banner
    • Reduced duration from 8 to 4 seconds
  • The DPS of these robots are the same, the change was to give better readability with the reload animations between shots, giving more information to the humans of when a shot is coming, the change of the critacola effect is to make it so his movespeed doesn’t increase
• Fat Magic
  • Removed:
    • -15% slower move speed penalty
• Bazooka Joe2002
  • Changed:
    • Reduced clip size bonus from 47 to 37
    • Reduced fire rate bonus from +70% to +60% faster
    • Reduced spread angle penalty from 700 to 600 degrees (more accurate rockets)
• Artillery
  • Changed:
    • Increased reload speed penalty from -250% to -300% slower
    • Reduced firing speed bonus from +70% to +60% faster

Humans

• Spy
  • Can now use teamporters when touching enemy spawn
    • This is map dependent as sometimes you can’t access the zone unless the door is open, this will need more testing and feedback

Robots

• General Crits
  • Changed:
    • Reduced height from 1.95 to 1.75
• Wrangler Bill
  • Changed:
    • Reduced amount of dispensers from 3 to 1
    • As we get more streamlined with the classes, free engineers should be limited to 1 dispenser only, while paid ones can have more
• Equalizor
  • Added:
    • -70% damage done to buildings
  • Removed:
    • Battalion’s Backup
      • This tank was able to tank even more with the increase in health, while being faster, and unable to get airblasted and able to jump and being able to use the parachute made this tank the best one with little to no counter play
• Gnome
  • Changed:
    • Type: Free to Paid, costs 1 RC
    • Can build 2 dispensers
• Robot Medics
  • Removed:
    • 2x bonus heal modifier
  • Added:
    • -10% Slower move speed
      • Robot medics have been mostly untouched, the preivous patch made them very mobile, but they shouldn’t be as fast as regular medics, so a slight move speed penalty was added. The additional heal was also removed to give a standardized healrate that’s identical to human healing.
• Dr Crossbow Cop
  • Removed:
    • Melee Crosbow
    • Crossbow cop is one of the stronger medic bots, it doesn’t make sense that he should be good at long and close range, with this close range harassers can do more in melee range as the crossbows will be harder to hit up close from the increased height angle

  • Changed:
    • Reduced health from 2500 to 1500
  • Removed:
    • Movespeed penalty
      • All robot medics now move at the speed of human medics, this is an attempt to balance the robot medics as they have been mainly unchanged since the gamemode’s launch and a lot has changed since then

Gamemode

• Player Balance
  • Removed:
    • Getting autobalanced as Robot
      • Players who become a robot will stay robot the entire game
  • Added:
    • Low Power mode:
      • Robots will take addtional damage if the ratio of robots to humans is in robots favor
      • Damage taken by robots increases by the amount of human player missing
        • Examples:
          • 6 Robots vs 10 Humans: Robots take 60% additional damage
          • 6 Robots vs 1 Human: Robots take 1500% addtional damage
      • Message will be displayed when the damage modifier changes
  • This was added as a result of sometimes players getting robbed of playing a robot and losing their Queue Points, this is a very experimental setting so the damage calculation may not be entirely correct, we will have to see how this affects the gameplay. Now you are guaranteed to play a robot until you unvolunteer yourself or leave. Post any bugs, glitches or exploits in the discord if you find any

Humans

• Demoman
  • Damage Buff
    • Changed:
      • Damage Bonus on hit decays 50% slower than before.

• Captain Concho, Buff Bot, Back Up
  • Changed:
    • Increased RC cost from 1.5 to 2 per robot
• All Tanks
  • Removed:
    • Batallions Backup - Take Crit Damage Buff
  • Added:
    • +2000 Health to compensate for removal damage penalty
      • This is less effective health than they’ve had before, meaning this is a nerf to all tanks tankyness
• Bearded Expense
  • Removed:
    • Air Control Bonus
  • Changed:
    • Increased taunt jump force from 350 to 380
  • The air control gave some unintended side effects of players being able to use regular jumps to do a jump tech to gain more speed than normal walking, as Bearded has a jump and an AOE explosion on stomp and crazy snowball potential, he doesn’t need this tech in addtion, this tech will be moved over to a new potential robot instead
• Gotham Protector
  • Removed:
    • +50% critical resistance
• Saxtron Hale
  • Added:
    • Takes no fall damage
  • Changed:
    • Saxtron Stun:

    • Increased health on sap from 25 to 50
• Hacked Slashes
  • Bugfix:
    • Fixed a bug where after a charge, hacked slasher would sometimes move at mach speeds for varied amounts of time.

Robots Removed from roster

• Bread Virus
  • This robot served no real purpose with it’s kit as it was too hard to really do anything with it
• Shogun
  • This robot’s design was to close to other disruptors who just did the job better, no interesting playstyle for this one
• Mystery Machine
  • An anti sentry robot who was made obsolete with other sentry busting type robots who were more fun to play
• Mini Sentry Buster
  • A pick robot with little to no counter play, also served no purpose than a massive cheese factor
• Mini Medic
  • Hardly ever picked and doesn’t really fit the theme, was also bugged for some players for some reason

Robots

• Bonk Scout
  • Changed:
    • Reduced amount of baseballs from 30 to 8
    • Reduced recharge bonus from +90% to +80% faster
      • Bonk Scout has been very good for a long time, with the insane amount of baseballs offered little counterplay for humans caught in the range, as there was no escape, with less baseballs to stock up on it offers more counterplay while Bonk Scout can still kill if he spends the entire ball clip on a target

Humans

• Slow effects -> Heal Debuff
  • Changed all slow effects to now apply healing debuffs instead
  • Mad Milk still applies snare
  • We’ve confirmed that slow isn’t fun or interestring, instead affecting the robots sustain is a better approach for these waspons
• Demoman
  • Changed:
    • Flat damage buff to stackable damage bonus up to 40% damage bonus
      • This is the same system as B4nny uses, and is individual to each weapon, giving a potential new skill to master in terms of resources

• All Robot Pyro’s
  • Changed:
    • Set damage bonus to +25%
    • Set movespeed penalty to -35%
      • Robot pyro’s have always been the weaker ones due to their very limited range, with being faster they should be able to get more damage and pressure done compared to the other robot types

    • Increased healing while self uber nano repairing by 400%
    • Reduced movespeed penalty while self uber nano repairing from -50% to -25% slower
  • Added:
    • Taking damage also fills the meter
    • Blocks healing while self uber nano repairing
• Megaton
  • Changed:
    • Reduced height to match the rest of the Heavy tanks
• Cloaker
  • Changed:
    • Cloak now lasts until you attack
      • This means that medics will get the most value out of this as if they don’t attack they will be permanently cloaked after getting this buff once. This is needed as cloaker is the weakest of the buff bots. This also allows for more bots to be sneaky and show up out of thin air to ambush human fortifications
• Theory-Y
  • Changed:
    • Fire Resist bonus buff Cloak to Battalion Backup damage resist
• Hoovy
  • Now wears approperiate attire on the month of December

  • Removed:
    • -500% Airblast airblast resistance

Attributes

• Added custom attributes for:
  • Faster Respawn
  • Being A Sentry Buster
    • These changes should have little impact for the average player, this is more stuff for future scaling and compatibility with other mods

Robot Balance

• LED
  • Changed:
    • Increased clip size bonus from 50% to 200%
• Robo Knight
  • Removed:
    • Kill refills meter
      • Robo knight remains difficult to balance, removing the refill on kill reduces the feeding potential bad players can do to him and the devestation he causes as a result
• Demopan
  • Changed:
    • Reduced jump height bonus from +50% to +12.5%
• Solar Light
  • Changed:
    • Increased damage penalty vs buildings from -50% to -75%
      • Solar Light Was a little too good against buildings for being a free and easy robot
• Tanks
  • Removed:
    • Health on hit
    • Health on kill
  • Changed:
    • Increased health of each tank to compensate for lack of sustain
  • Tanks being tanky and sustaining health made it hard for humans to determine how much more a tank could take. We will not be giving tanks on hit or on kill healing abilities in the future, but if tanks get shredded we can always increase their health to compensate, they are tanky after all
• Sentry Buster
  • Changed:
    • Fixed some issues with the line of sight detonation (still not perfect)
    • Reduced arm time from 2 seconds to 1.25 seconds (fast exploder now)

New Robots

• Fixed a bug where robots would get their buffs at incorrect times
  • Wamo uber taunt extension, medics suddenly getting over healed at random
• Fixed a bug where tanks didn’t always get the correct buffs
  • There’s still a bug of not getting the mvm buff if switching from tank to tank while alive in spawn, this is fixed by changing to a non-tank and back. Has to do with how the condition is applied in TF2

Human Balance

• Medic
  • Solem Vow:
    • Increased healing mastery from 1 to 4 points in terms of upgrade

Robot Categories

• Removed:
  • Disruptor sub categories, disruptors are now capped at 6 per category.
• Changed:
  • Paid disruptors all generate 1 bonus RC on death

Robot Balance

• Bonk Scout
  • Changed:
    • Fixed incorrect damage stat being applied making baseballs deal too much damage. Baseballs now deals the correct 40 damage instead of 100

    • Increased health from 1250 to 2000
• Firewall
  • Changed:
    • Burning players mini-crit to crit
    • Reduced damage penalty vs burning players from -10% to -50%
      • This is to offset the damage bonus you get from overheat, and so that you don’t instantly melt with the fire ring
• Megaton
  • Changed:
    • Reduced vertical knockback on hit from 650 to 350 forcepowers
• Lazy Purple
  • Changed:
    • Robot type from MK I to MK II

Optimization

• Optimized some of the medic code

Bugfixes

• Added code to ensure clip sizes are correctly applied to robots having less clip than standard

Human Balance

• Sniper
  • SMG
    • Removed: Slow on Hit
      • The slow made robo-knights unable to charge, and was generally too easy to apply compared to the effects it gave
    • Added: Speed boost on hit
      • This now combos well with the Kukri allowing sniper to more easily escape engagements with faster robots
  • Razorback
    • Added:
      • +50% melee resistance
      • Backstabs from Robots instantly recharges the razorback and refills the chargemeter, stunning the spy bot for 0.5 seconds
      • This gives the sniper a counter loadout to spy robots, the instant recharge combined with the reduced melee damage gives him a nieche role that the demoknight doesn’t fill when it comes to countering spy bots

Robot Balance

• Lazy Purple
  • Removed:
    • Mini-crit on rocket jump
      • What TF2 classifies as a rocket jump is too wide, thus allowing him to activate the mini-crit while grounded, it was too strong so it was removed
• Commander Crocket
  • Changed:
    • Increased cost from 3 to 4 per robot
      • AOE crit buffs is really strong and needs to be more expensive, especially with the combo potential off of other robot bots

Robot Roster

Removed

• Shield Heavy
  • This robot has been a top tier and meta-insta-win robot for the longest time. With the lack of support for the attribute that disables the knockback, and generally how easy he is to play compared to the results you get, it was best he was removed, leaving only the quick-shielder as the only robot shielding bot. was introduced in a previous patch, but was not documented

General

• Reduced audio spawn sound on robots:
  • Robot should now only make noise first time they spawn and each time they change robot

Robot Balance

Buffs

• Loch-n-Larry, Bursty, Mystery Machine, Sentry Buster
  • Changed:
    • Robot Category name to be easier to find
• Sentry Buster
  • Changed:
    • Reduced arm time from 2 to 1 second
  • Added:
    • On Spawn: Permanently outline all enemy sentries (this effect lasts until the sentry is destroyed, picking it up and putting it down still leaves the outline)
• Tanks
  • Changed:
    • Tanks now have the MVM defense buff
    • Tanks now have 100% increased damage taken from melee
  • This is to standardize the tanks to be easierly visible and have the same weaknesses

    • Frontier justice no longer needed to build assists on a gun
      • This makes it so if you have a sentry that’s done a lot of damage, you can swap to the frontier justice as you would do in a normal TF2 game, thus toolboxing it. This was introduced in a previous patch, but was not documented

Stacking heavies was very easy and combined with mini-crits and mad milk, some heavies was just unkillable for robots since they had nutty sustain, this change means that the heavy has to spend roughly 30 more ammo to make up for the -20% damage, which isn’t too bad

Robot Balance

Buffs

• Skilltron & Saxtron H4l3
  • Changed:
    • Lowered cost per robot from 2 to 1
    • As they are not that universally good, lowering the cost should make them more used when they are not as big of an investment. Seeing as most players picks the Nuker robot as it’s the most affordable one
• Shounic
  • Removed:
    • -20% damage penalty vs players
    • Shounic remains one of the harder robots to use due to his gimmic, lowering the damage penalty will increase his overall kill power to be the same of a soldier per rocket
• Dr GrordBot
  • Changed:
    • Damage penalty vs players from -25% to +25% damage bonus vs players
    • GrordBot was hardly ever used, now he will be able to do more damage with charged shots and be more of a sentry disabler and just better damage in general
• Buff Bot, Backup, Cloaker, Captain Conch
  • Changed:
    • Increased health from 2000 to 3800
    • Set move speed penalty to -50%
    • Set clip size bonus from +3 to +5
    • Increased damage penalty vs buildings from -25% to -50%
    • Increased reload speed penalty from -25% to -100% slower
    • Changed category from Support to Rocket
    • All soldiers now follow the same standardization with Move speed and rocket launcher power to reflect that of Icebear, they should now be better on their own and not 100% relying on just buffing teammates. Putting them as Rocket type instead of Support is more fitting now and easier to find for new players
• Captain Conch renamed to Capitan Concho
  • Removed:
    • Half Zatoichi
  • Changed:
    • Cosmetics to be a Sombrero and Poncho
  • Captain Concho was in need of a rework with the standardization of the other soldier buff bots thus his half Zatoichi has been made a new robot called Shogun in style with the SamurAI robot disruptor
• All non-melee snipers
  • Increased health from 1250 to 2000
  • Reduced move speed penalty from -50% to -10%
  • Increased jump height from -20% to +90% Snipers remain one of the hardest robot to play due to the difficulty in getting value from your shots compared to other robots, the increase in health and move speed will allow them to tank more damage while taking the time to scope in to shoot. The jump height will allow them to better reach good positions to put on more pressure of the humans. The health pool was too low, making it very easy for a single ambassador spy to shut down a sniper by themselves
• Carbine Cassidy
  • Changed:
    • Reduced scope move speed to normal sniper The ability to move at full speed while scoped didn’t feel too good, he now is the only robot able to move while scoped
• Dreysidel
  • Added:
    • 0.5 second faster arm time Dreysidel remained pretty high skill to be used compared to damage output, the lower arm time should make him better at securing more kills more easily when pressured
• Roboknight
  • Changed
    • Reduced chare time increase bonus from +1000% to +500%
    • While this may look like a nerf, this means you can more easily to shield bashes with higher damage, as the long charge wasn’t really all that usefuL
• Big Joey
  • Added:
    • Overheat Mechanic:
      • Weapon becomes more accurate up to 75%
      • Overheat decays quickly when not firing
      • Overheat decays while revved
      • Reaching 100% will disable the minigun for 3 seconds
  • Big Joey remained a slightly worse HiGPS robot, with this, you get a gimmick to work on, and you can put on more mid range pressure, the pauses needed to keep the accuracy bonus gives the user something to manage, while M1 still works just fine, the overheat mechanic gives more counter play for humans if the Big Joey robot user messes up their overheat management
• Gotham Bat Droid
  • Changed:
    • Increased move speed bonus from +25% to +30%
    • Upping the move speed this little caps the speed at max move speed at 520H/U, making him a good stalling choice if the robots are needing to be somewhere quick at the objective
• Executer
  • Changed:
    • Reduced move speed penalty from -50% to -35%
    • While being the most fair tank, he sees very little use, upping the move speed should make him more viable as a tank in general
• Bearded Expense
  • Changed:
    • Increased base movement speed from -50% to -30% (stacks with gru)
    • Reduced taunt time for leap from 3.35 to 2.3 seconds
    • Removed: 10 second speed bonus on hit & kill
    • The increase in move speed brings Bearded to the same speed as if he had the speed bonus. With the changes and evolution of other Tanks, he needed a tweak and a buff. The removal of the speed is make him more consistent to play as, as he’s not as reliant to get the first hit to begin to snowball
• Quickler
  • Changed:
    • Increased clip size from 4 to 8
    • Quickler is a lot harder to use than artiller, but with higher clip, his potential damage output is doubled per volley
• Lazy Purple
  • Added:
    • On Rocket Jump: Gain minicrits for 3 seconds
    • Lazy Purple remained a worse Elmaxo, with this new mechanic you can mini-crit whenver you jump, further adding to the disruption. The killpower is high, but the sustain is not as he will take self and fall damage each time

Nerfs

• Sergeant Whips
  • Changed:
    • Is now a Paid robot
      • Whips is a really strong melee support bot, instead of nerfing him, he’s still as good, except he’s expensive and is can be used way less in a game
• Icebear
  • Changed:
    • Increased damage penalty against buldings from -35% to -50%
    • Icebear being a bit too easy to use against sentries while being free, this should change too many interractions, but increase the commitment he does to buildings
• Artillery
  • Changed:
    • Increased reload penalty from -50% to -150% slower
    • Artillery remained a very easy go to robot to do a lot of damage reliably fairly easy. This was a bit too good compared to other robot options, while his burst fire is the same, the time between volleys have been more than doubled to give more time for counterplay from the humans in terms of positioning and pressure
• Necromancer
  • Changed:
    • Spell from Skeletons to Bats
    • Skeletons requires a nav map for each map, and since we only play custom maps and those aren’t natively included would make it not work unless the server owners specificially created navs for the custom maps, so the skill has been moved to something that requires some skill to use and isn’t AI controlled, the bats still fits the theme of the robot
• Corporal Crocket -> Commander Crocket
  • Changed:
    • Type from Boss to MK II
    • Rocket Launcher to High Roller Skin
    • Uses standardized Robot Soldier Rocket Launcher stats
    • Increased cost from 2.5 to 3 per robot
    • As we already had a soldier boss with crit rockets this one felt redundant and underused, and will serve it’s purpose better as the better buff bot, but remains the most expensive
• Gotham Protector
  • Changed:
    • Updated menun description to more accurately explain the robot
• Sergeant Crits -> General Crits
  • Added:
    • Classified Coif Cosmetic
  • The name needed an update to indicate power, and he also needed more swag wear

• Half-Zatoichi
  • +25% damage vs players
  • On Kill: Gain 10% of base health on kill
  • On Hit: 6 second speed boost
• Cost: Free
• Designed by: HiGPS
• Shogun is a split from the Captain Conch half-zatoichi playstyle, which wasn’t really used, and with the standardization of the buff banner robots, it didn’t make sense that the concheror had a half-zatoichi while the others did not have a melee. He serves as the counterpart to the SamurAI demo

  • Ubersaw
    • +30% damage bonus
    • -25% slower attack speed
    • On Hit: Gain 30% uber
    • On Teammate hit: Heal 80 HP & Gain 5% uber
    • Ability:
      • At 100% activate uber
      • Uber stays active until drained
      • On Teammate Hit while uber: Apply uber to teammate for the same duration as you have uber left
• Cost: Paid, 1 coin per robot
• Idea submitted by: Ham
• This is an attempt at a hybrid melee healer robot, where you alternate between hitting enemies and teammates. This robot can solo uber chain, so a pyro is needed to deny this robot from doing infinite damage and being permanently ubered. The uber drain compared to uber gain on hit is tweaked so the medic has some time to hit different targets to keep it going.

    • -65% damage vs buildings
    • +500% flame spread degree
    • 3450 Flame speed
    • -50% slower airblast refire time
  • Ability:
    • Requires 5 kills to build
    • Activated by pressing reload or special attack
    • Scares nearby players for 3 seconds within 500 hammer units
• Cost: Free
• Idea submitted by: Ham
• Players can use this robot when a large group of humans is the problem, making it a better crowd control pyro

Rocketman

• Class: Pyro
• Role: Damage
• Sub-Role: Flames
• HP: 3000
• Move speed: -35%
• Weapon
  • Flamethrower
    • +175% damage bonus vs players
    • -65% damage vs buildings
    • +500% flame spread degree
    • 4140 Flame speed
    • +25% faster airblast refire time
• Cost: Free
• Idea submitted by: Moon G
• Players would want to use this robot like a support / ambush robot, that will clear the area, this is because you will lose out on any other kinda secondary to deter humans from attacking you, but you come with default damage to quickly deal with the problem to your vicinity, in that they have less time to leave the area and or do damage to you. my theory is that this is kinda act like the BigJoey and HiGPS in how they only have small but innate differences and do we compare this robot to the other flamethrower pyros

Hacked Slasher

• Class: Demoman
• Role: Tank
• Sub-Role: Melee
• HP: 6000
• Move speed: -30%
• Weapon
  • Claidheamohmor & Tide Turner
    • +40% damage bonus vs players
    • -25% damage vs buildings
    • On Kill: Refill charge meter 100%
    • On Kill: Heal 400 HP
    • +1400% longer charge time
    • +100% larger no charge impact range
    • +400% impact damage bonus
    • +400% increased turn control
    • No additional resistances from shield
    • Charge is slow (350HU)
• Cost: Paid, 1 coins per robot
• Idea submitted by: Pizza Pasta
• Players will use this bot for flanking and chasing, as it would be faster than PanCop but less able to take head-on fights due to a smaller health pool. While charging, this robot’s Tide Turner should lead to it’s charge meter slightly decreasing when taking damage, giving humans a means to slow it’s higher mobility. It also has a normal jump and slower charge compared to the other knights, making it harder for it to trimp and get crazy mobility.

Jouleson

• Class: Sniper
• Role: Tank
• Sub-Role: Melee
• HP: 5250
• Move speed: -30%
• Weapon
  • Tribalmans Shiv
    • +65% faster attack speed
    • -25% damage done
    • On Hit: Bleed for 12 seconds
    • On Hit: Gain 1 second speed boost
    • On Hit: Heal 15 HP
    • On Kill: Heal 150 HP
    • -75% damage vs buildings
  • Ability:
    • Invisibility Spell - 20 second cooldown
• Cost: Paid, 1 coins per robot
• Idea submitted by: Pizza Pasta
• This tank would have a flank playstyle rather than engaging enemies head-on. Players will use the invisibility spell to get to an area near the humans before attacking. The speed boost lets players keep up with targets and also lets them bounce between multiple targets. The health from bleed rewards players for attacking multiple targets, keeping enemies distracted for much longer

Mini-Medic

• Class: Medic
• Role: Healer
• Sub-Role: Melee
• HP: 500
• Move speed: +75%
• Weapon
  • Medigun
    • Spawns with 100% uber
• Cost: Paid, 1 coin per robot
• Design: HiGPS
• This robot is mighty fast, small, but very fragile. This robot is designed a panic option for robots where they need to reach the objective quickly and stall. Uber on robot is fairly strong so we’ll see how this one plays as the medigun does not heal the same rate as the other giant does. He can still taunt to overheal himself

Sensor Armstrong

• Class: Heavy
• Role: Tank
• Sub-Role: Melee
• HP: 6500
• Move speed: Normal Heavy Speed
• Weapon
  • Fists
    • +23% damage bonus (80 damage a hit)
  • Ability: Nanobots
    • Meter filled by doing 800 damage to players
    • Press Reload or Special Attack to active
      • On Activation:
      • 5 seconds of uber and heal 151 HP
      • -50% move speed
• Cost: Paid, 2.5 coins per robot
• Idea submitted by: Ham
• This is to add more variety to the paid Tank pool. The higher cost is due to his easy sentry destruction potential

  There was little reason to use Rocket Launcher or Blackbox compared to the powers of other rocket launchers, this should give them some more useable situations

        • This is to solve the issue of B4nny struggling to kill overhealed players, now he will be able to get kills by just doing more and more damage until they eventually die

  • Removed:

    • Crit Boost on kill
  • Added:
    • On Hit: 10 second speed boost
  • Archibolt fell in this weird category where he wasn’t really a disruptor nor a melee robot due to the lack of speed. With the lowered cooldown and the speed on hit, he will be able to disrupt more easily, while not being the biggest of threats
• Pancop
  • Added:
    • Permanently Mini-critted
      • Pancop is the only paid tank as of this post, though sometimes you can get screwed when the timing is off and you don’t have your minicrits anymore. In this case you will only lose your speed, but still able to finish any potential target you started on before eating the steak again

    • +50% Leap height bonus if speed boosted
  • Changed:
    • Reduced air control from +6000% to 400%
      • Being able to boost your ground speed while jumping and airstrafing made little sense on a juggernaut type tank
  • Gloves of Boxing Steel:
    • Removed:
      • Damage pierces resistances
        • Bearded has been a staple of the gamemode for very long, being very easy and very strong, however a soldier running battalions backup crit resist to counter a spawn camping bearded should not be punished for making the right choice in unlocks. The speed boost leap boost is to reward play where you land a hit or kill then jump shortly after

Nerfs

• Mr Paladin
  • On Kill cloak is lost if missing an attack
  • Being able to kill while invisible is really strong, and was a real noob stomper, now the player has to be careful and can’t just unga bunga swing the knife around as the cloak buff is lost on whiff. Duration is still the same and he’s still able to kill while invisible
• Uncle Dane
  • Reduced building size from +65% to +45% larger

    • Overheat: At 100% the weapon becomes unusuable for 3 seconds
    • Overheat: Unrevving and revving reduces overheat by 20%
• Cost: Paid, 3 coins per robot
• This is a new concept we’re testing to see if it’s worth applying to the rest of the heavy cast. As this overheat is a new mechanic, we’ll have to see how much it comes in to play, if any at all.

Robot Balance

Gameplay

• Added additional commands
  • !join /join sm_join to volunteer to be a robot
  • !bot /bot sm_bot to change robot
• Various optimizations in regards to custom attributes

Robot Balance

Riot Cop

• Changed:
  • Surpress Riot buff duration increased from 6.5 to 8 seconds

b4nny

• Added:
  • -10% move speed penalty
  • Proper description when you spawn as b4nny
• Removed:
  • Weapon Accuracy bonus
  • Weapon fire rate bonus
• Changed:
  • Reduced damage bonus from +30% to +15%
• b4nny is a bot that is tricky to balance as his speed vs power is eaither too good or too bad to be viable, this change should make him better and easier to countereven if the player isn’t the best

Zonical

• Added:
  • Added missing ammo regen attribute
  • not that you’d run out of the 200 reserve ammo though

Fat Magic

• Changed:
  • Increased jump hiehgt from -20% to +25%
• Removed:
  • Bushwacka damage vulnerability

Jbird

• Changed:
  • Fired machina round tracer to transparent type
  • being a sniper on the robot team is hard, and doesn’t need huge lines to show where he is at all times while being unable to move while scoped

Robot Knight

• Changed:
  • Reduced damage bonus from +80% to +35%
• Removed:
  • 200% turn control while charging
• Added:
  • +15% faster attack speed
• Roboknight was too OP after the last patch which was entirely community suggested. I’ve toned down his insane mobility and damage and given him more counterplay as it no longer requires 4+ turtle engineers to stop a good demoknight player

Archibolt

• Changed:
  • Reduced cooldown of shadow leap from 4 to 3 seconds

Mortar Mack

• Changed:
  • Grenade launcher to a green war paint
    • this is to be correct with the notion that green robots are long range
  • Reduced random angle spread from 10* to 8*
  • Reduced smaller blast radius penalty from -50% to -25%

Agro & Wamo

• Changed:
  • Temporarily removed robot flame thrower sounds as it caused issues with switching weapons sometimes

  • Dragon’s Shotgun
    • +20% more damage done to players

    • +25% more accurate
    • On hit: Set target on fire
    • Mini-crits burning targets
    • -60% damage done to buildings
• Cost: Free
• This robot combo really well with Agro and Wamo’s homing projectiles. While it may seem this shotgun is nutty, it has to reload one bullet at a time, and since it’s hitscan it’s easy to dodge while upclose. This robot has a limited time of DPS compared to other flame type robots. Suggested by: PizzaPasta

Skeeter

• Class: Sniper
• Role: Support
• Sub-Role: Hitscan
• HP: 1250
• Movespeed -30%
• Weapon
  • Knockback Classic
    • +50% faster reload
    • No flinching while fully charge
    • -100% move speed while charging a shot
    • -45% damage done to buildings
    • On Hit: Heal 15 HP
    • On Hit: Apply Knockback - affected by damage done
• Cost: Free
• This robot makes an interesting disrupotor type sniper, without being a disrupotor since the sniper isn’t present where the disruption happens. This weaker, but faster rifle will be able to knock around human players to force them out of position. The lack of other weapons and low health pool makes this robot especially weak to spy harrasment. Suggested by: The Pipe Toad Council

Boxing Champ

• Class: Heavy
• Role: Damage
• Sub-Role: Melee
• HP: 3000
• Movespeed +30%
• Weapon
  • Killing gloves of boxing
    • +30% damage to players
    • On Kill: Crit boost for 180 seconds
    • +75% melee damage resistance
    • -75% damage to buildings
• Cost: Free
• This robot is added to give more variety to the melee robots. He’s like a less tanky, but faster version of Bearded Expense, with no sustain. Requires one kill to get going, with his low health pool he can get focused before he does too much damage. Move speed is that of a buffalo steak heavy

Bat Attack

• Class: Scout
• Role: Damage
• Sub-Role: Melee
• HP: 1250
• Movespeed +25%
• Jump Height: +50%
• Airblast Vulnerability: +35%
• Weapon
  • Bat
    • +75% damage to players
    • -75% damage to buildings
• Cost: Free
• Another fast robot was needed for when robots need to cap or occupy some space real quick. This is just a really fast bat scout that does OK damage, but is easily stopped by airblast and focus fire

LED

• Class: Demoman
• Role: Damage
• Sub-Role: Grenades
• HP: 3000
• Movespeed -50%
• Weapon
  • Big Grenade Launcher
    • +75% larger grenades
    • +75% larger explosion radius
    • +75% faster projectile speed
    • +2 Clip size bonus
    • 20% faster reload
    • Reloads full clip at once
    • -60% damage vs buildings
• Cost: Free
• We needed a basic and good grenade launcher robot that wasn’t a hybrid class and didn’t use iron bomber, so we ended on this one

Napkin

• Class: Pyro
• Role: Damage
• Sub-Role: Flames
• HP: 1750
• Movespeed -10%
• Weapons
  • Long Range Backburner
    • 30% damage vs players
    • +85% more consentrated flames
    • +45% larger flames
    • +660% faster flame traveling speed
    • +1000% increased airblast cost (200 ammo)
    • -50% damage done to buildings
• Cost: Free
• Trying out a new concept with this one, it has longer range than the dragon’s fury but doesn’t deal the same damage. The faster move speed is to help with flanking, but we’ll have to see how this plays. I’m not sure how good this one will be until it’s played by and against humans

Sergeant Whips

• Class: Soldier
• Role: Damage
• Sub-Role: Melee
• HP: 2000
• Movespeed -10%
• Weapons
  • Mini-Crit Whip
    • +25% damage to players
    • +75% longer melee range
    • On Kill: Heal 200 HP
    • On Teammate hit: Mini-Crit buff for teammate and yourself for 6 seconds
• Cost: Free
• Very experimental robot this one, I just want to see if a constant buff type melee robot hybrid is viable or not, as I wanted to add a new and unique melee robot that was a soldier

Human Balance

Demoman

• Mini-crit taunt is now applied when doing the taunt, not at the end of it
  • This should fix the issue of any taunt enabling it

Robot Balance

Dr Crossbow Cop

• Added:
  • Now applies strength run on himself as well

Sergeant Crits

• Changed:
  • Increased firing speed bonus on lower health from +80% to +85% faster

Dreysidel

• Changed:
  • Reduced reload speed from +25% faster to -75% slower
• Added:
  • Reloads full clip at once Dreysidel remains unused and underwhelming, now with the rapid reload you can more easily trap areas

B4nny

• Changed:
  • Removed: Move speed penalty, now moves at the speed of a normal scout B4nny has been in a few spots where’s been either too good or too bad. In this instance he’s more of a glass cannon that plays close to a scout, we will have to see how much this impacts his gameplay as he can get airblasted fairly easy by pyros due to being a lightweight

Shounic

• Changed:
  • Updated ingame description to better describe the robot ability
  • Reduced firing penalty on Fired Rocket Launcher firing speed from -20% to -10% slower firing speed Shounic was a bit underwhelming, but with this 10% increase in firing speed, it should increase the overall power since you can have quite the amount of rocket launchers in the air at once

Hoovy

• Changed:
  • Reduced size from +65% to +50% larger
  • Increased movespeed bonus from +10% to +35% Hoovy remains one of those bots that hardly sees any use outside of very specific counters, and even in those situations other robots can do what he does better, this increase in movespeed should allow him to be more disruptive and less commital

Zonical

• Removed:
  • Clipsize penalty
• Changed:
  • Reduced firing speed penalty from +150% slower +50% slower
  • Zonical being so bad at launch needed a buff to make him able to deal more mid range damage with his gimmic compared to the power of other more easily used engineer bots

Equalizor

• Changed:
  • Updated ingame description to be more accurate of the robots abilities
• Removed:
  • Equalizer’s healing from healbeam penalty
  • Equalizor remains to be one of the more creative tanks we have, but the fact hardly getting any heal and being a banner based tank made him die often before getting the value out of the banner

Quickler

• Changed:
  • Reduced reload penalty from +150% to +50% slower
  • Increased fire speed bonus from +60% to +75% faster
  • Increased the faster sticky charge time from +90% to +95%
  • Quickler had the wrong stats and was therefore not good compared to the cost

Mystery Machine

• Added:
  • +25% damage bonus
• Changed:
  • Increased accuracy bonus from +25% to +75% more accurate
  • Mystery Machine remained a hardly used robot due to how little value you got from him due to his low health pool. Going more the glass cannon approach and the increase in damage should help him destroy sentries that’s far away, making him a decent sentry buster like the rest

Botfather

• Removed from roster:
• Bot father didn’t really play that well compared to other heavies

Dr Livesey

• Temporarily removed from roster as we fix the crashing issues his chadness caused by being too much of a chad

Fixes

Robot on human team

• Bugfix:
  • Fixed one of the glitches where someone could become a robot on the human team. It should now not be possible to be a robot on the human team (challenge accepted?)

Sentry Buster

• Bugfix:

• Cost: 2 Boss Coins + 2.5 Robot Coins pr robot present
• As an alternative to Sergeant Crits, this one will crit buff the entire team, however the banner lasts the same amount of time as the regular buff banner, meaning this boss will have to micromanage building banner and using it near teammates
