Today I learned that prisons have security bots in them[/quote]
Same, I was doing so well…[/quote]
I also learned the hard way (in a prison, no less) that security bots apparently have night vision, because even doing things like turning off my flashlight didn’t keep them from spotting and firing upon me. I didn’t die, though, despite playing a Flimsy character; there was enough distance that a lot of shots in their bursts went wide. When I bandaged myself up and went back, I just went ahead and engaged the old-fashioned way and beat them in first-to-fire contests with my Mosin, which it turns out is far more accurate and powerful than their 9mm pray-and-spray. Each one dropped in one shot. Granted, this was before the Mosin nerf.
tl;dr: if you’ve got an accurate and damaging shot (accurate enough that you don’t need to stop to aim and powerful enough that a regular hit will do meaningful damage), just pop them first and the best defense will be a good offense. Secubots are not very resilient. If you have a low-Dispersion gun, having some distance between you and the secubot will also give you an advantage even if you’re still inside their range; their shots disperse a fair bit.
