Question about Security Bots!
« on: December 01, 2013, 08:06:32 pm »
So I've gotten Underrail recently, and I'm getting super into it (even though I'm not ACTUALLY that far into the game itself,) but I've been trying to face-off with these security bots (I think there's only two?) in GMS station*. Since all I have is my crossbow and psi powers, and there's a convenient pair of mindshrooms nearby with which I can regen some psi from, I thought I'd do the clever (and/or pragmatic thing) and do hit-and-run attacks with the psi fireball thing. It never occurred to me though, that they can regenerate!

So I suppose the question is, do they regenerate? And if so, does anybody have any suggestions for taking them out, now that I can't attack, then hide?

*(whoops, GMS COMPOUND I meant to say)

They should not regenerate, if they do then it's a bug. Will check it out tomorrow, maybe they regenerate when over 90% like living creatures. :/

You can use shock bolts to deal decent damage to them and stun them as well. If you have electrokinesis that will work well too.

I've managed to kill one in one fight, by starting the encounter out of its range, so that it will shoot but not stun me, and just shooting a bunch of regular bolts, as I haven't found the means to make electric bolts (or where to purchase them quite yet).

But I could be wrong, but when I was doing my hit-and-run, I'd fire a pyrokinesis shot at them, run and hide, and then refill at the shrooms. Next time I saw them (assuming it's the same one on the same patrol) they had max health, so I didn't have the means to whittle them down as I had initially planned.

EDIT: Actually, I've spotted one that's at half health, but I think that was from an earlier encounter where I threw the one grenade I'd found, and my fireball, but I can't say for sure whether or not he was the victim of my other plot.
