Robosaru Strategies
Weapon Use
- Detonating Bunny-worn Collars leaves a corpse. Thus it should be only done when the Bunny needs to die with urgency, or the bunny is in cover preventing the Robo from landing hits with the Primary Cannon.
- Shooting the Primary Cannon or Missiles near items, placed or dropped, can risk destroying them. Sometimes Collar Remote Detonation or using the Flamethrower is better in these circumstances.
- Bunnies that manage to climb onto Robosaru can be cleansed using the Flamethrower, which kills any Bunnies within a large radius of the nozzle due to the heat.
Bunny Strategies
Stealth & Subversion
- When attempting a subversion, ensure that you are familiar with Robo's "search sweeps". Most players will have a pattern for where they look, and how frequently they view each area.
- If you can get the Robo to "look where you are not" by distracting them, you will have a far easier time approaching Robosaru undetected.
- Tricking Robo into thinking you are close can cause him to panic and use his sentry ammo, so he will be empty when you decide to make your approach.
Item Use
- LASER WALL EFFICIENCY: If you wish to place Laser Walls efficiently, they should be arranged 6 squares apart. This is the width of 2 concrete-terrain tiles. Remember that efficiently-placed Laser Fences, although cheaper for the Robo, will create larger defensive holes when a single pole is destroyed.
- MINE USE: Mines can be used to destroy Laser Walls. Make sure Robo does not see you carrying these or placing them near his items, as Mines will destroy them too. A common strategy is to buy a mine and place it in the pile of items recently purchased by robo. Another bunny will approach to begin loading items and will explode themselves along with the valuables.
- PROPPING: when items are placed in the same location, the most recently placed item will jump to the top of the stack. Bunnies will also stack on top of items and terrain, so you can raise fellow Bunnies by placing items underneath them. This can be used to climb over laser walls, and climb onto Robosaru.
- STAIRCASE: to overcome obstacles such as Laser Walls, or even to mount Robosaru. Uranium and Fuel cannot be climbed onto from the ground, but a dropped Collar or Sign utilized as a step will allow a Bunny to mount them.
- CORPSE FACTORY: bunnies can place two laser walls next to each other to make a corpse factory. These can be hidden behind rocks, or even behind the feed box itself if it is far enough from Robosaru. Some bunnies are even bold enough to ask for laser walls so that robo will finance his own corpse factory!
Collar Use
- The Feed Box removes from play any item that is placed in it. This can be used to dispose of your Collar without evidence, unless the player in Robosaru is aware of how many Collars are in existence and deduces that this strategy has been used due to the absence of one.
- Always wear a collar while you aren't planning on disOBEYing. The collar gives you a severely increased income while held or worn, and that money can be used to keep up with the Robosaru player, or to be later used to crash the Dropship.
- If you have been sent to the Dropship, and you are aware that there are no Collars on the map, purchasing the collar in the Dropship will give you an advantage over all other players who do not own one. A collar will earn back its worth within 20 seconds of wearing one in the field.
- A dropped collar gives the Robo player an indication of which direction you have traveled. Consider where you place your collar, and where it will cause the Robo to look.
Psychological
- FAKE HELPING: Some players will ask 'buy a dropship so we can load stuff' if it is actually a good time for the robo player to buy one, but also if they are standing right next to the door for a quick subversion once it's purchased
- BUILDING TRUST: Some players will be very helpful to the robo player, building trust over time enough to get close before attempting subversion. This strategy is viable because the player doing this will have a collar on more time, be in the dropship less, and gather more auto-pay than other players (all forms of earning more money).
- BS STRATEGY: Some players will talk excessively to keep the robot from concentrating on bunny positions and activities. This sometimes works, but other times can cause the robot player to retaliate against the distracting player.
- IMPERSONATION: This is a strategy generally used by experienced players where they will answer for other players and/or pretend to be other players in order to make the robot player think that they have the most dangerous opponents under control when in fact they do not.
- COMPULSIVE LYING: Constant lying to the robot can sometimes coincidentally cause impersonation and/or other 'impossible' situations for the robot to cause them to lose control.
