HiGPS Note

• This update aims to give some robots better individual performance, as many of the bots getting buffs are reliant on their team too much in order to be good.
• We've seen from play sessions that at certain player counts, many robots are simply too weak and can't fight humans, this patch aims to give them some more omf.
• This update also aims to limit pyro's airblast efficency vs melee bots. As now one pyro will not as easily deter a robot any more

Robots

• It is now recommended to switch robots after spawning or while dead, not when returning to spawn after being in the field, as health will no longer replenish.

Backend

• Robots are no longer able to switch class to circumvent some spawning health logic

• Robot Health is now retained when switching to new robot. Does not apply to bosses

  • This change is to combat some health abuse mechanics using loadout binds or suicide and class switching to circumvent some of the logic in place to keep robots from instantly healing up in spawn. The only way for robots to get full health back is to die or be healed by normal means. This was an issue primarily on defense, where some beefy robots would tank a lot, then walk back in to spawn right before death, switch robots back and forth then have full health again.
  • This means if you are a scout bot with 1500hp, and you take 100 damage, then switch to a heavy, the heavy will spawn with 1400 hp instead of 4000 hp

        • This is due to a recalculation of speed happening on weapon switch, now Solarlight just uses the standard speed as a base. This will not allow him to zoom at super speeds anymore
    • These changes should Solarlight be more consistent hybrid, while being worse demoknight and regular demo than the options, after all, hybrids should not be stronger than what they are the sum of

• LED

  • Added:
    • 20% faster firing speed bonus
  • Changed:
    • Increased damage penalty vs buildings from -50% to -65%

• Saxtron Hale

  • Changed:
    • Increased RC cost from 35 to 50 per robot
    • Increased size from +25% to +50% taller
    • Reduced damage bonus vs players from +210% tp +75%
    • Increased damage penalty vs buildings from -50% to -65%
  • Added:
    • 25% faster fist firing speed
  • Saxtron Hale remains difficult to balance since he is so fundamentally different to all the bots, however having the second best mobility of all the bots for free, combined with being able to just oneshot and stun everyone, is too strong. Normally Saxton Hale is arena and has no allies. Here he can potentially be buffed or have teammates helping. Therefore he can no longer oneshot anyone anymore. However the faster swing speed should help land kills while being in their face

• General Crits

  • Changed:
    • Increased RC cost from 50 to 70

• Wamo

  • Removed:
    • Crits from behind

• Skilltron

    • 50 HP Heal on kill
  • Added:
    • 35% damage boost vs players
  • Changed:
    • Increased ability duration from 5 to 8 seconds
  • This makes him have the same timing as regular huntsman, with the increased damage and penetration, there is now more time for counterplay instead of just hoping the bot messes up the spam timings

• Flycharger

  • Changed warpaint and cosmetics to not be as edgy

• Death Negator

  • Changed:
    • Increased overheal bonus from 400% to 900%
  • Removed:
    • Movespeed bonus increase on uber %

Backend

• Added function to set teamcoins for a team

• Added a new plugin to handle boss coin logic

• Added a new plugin to reload plugins that bug out sometimes on waiting for players end time

Removed from roster

• Fatmagic
  • Not really an interesting bot or playstyle
• Tonetech
  • Overshadowed by Elmaxo
• Aero
  • Served no real purpose or counter to anything
• Deflector MK II
  • Was just better HiGPS, which is not the direction I want to take when designing paid robots anymore.
• Shredder
  • Didn't really offer any good utility. Damage piercing stat moved to Firewall
• Hammerhead
  • Not a good design or fun to play against, as you had very limited options to deal if the scout was good
• Archibolt
  • Merged in to Fly Charger
• Mafia Bank
  • Not really good and overstepping the designs of other melee bots
• Equalizor
  • Extremely good and easy to use, but didn't really work as a melee bot
• Hype Scout
  • Wasn't hype enough, the playstyle doesn't fit well with how the robot dynamic works
• Blastinator
  • Highly situational, doesn't add much else interesting that other knockback robots can't also do. Also a matter of how easy it is to do vs how hard it is to do, so this was not a good fit
• Lazy Purple
  • Being a paid disruptor sentry buster was too good, overlapped playstyles with Elmaxo too much
• Chat GPT Guardian
  • Didn't really offer anything useful and was just worse than Brainiac
• Hacked Slasher
  • Overstepped the boundries of melee vs tank role, charge should not be on tanks
• Pan Cop
  • Not that interesting playstyle, now that the bear heavy does the same without having to eat steak
• Sensor Armstrong
  • Didn't really play well with the managing, uber on high health targets is not that fun to play against
• Backup
  • Removed due to how robot scales in high numbers, being a tank, being able to add resistance to robots also stacking other buffs made mass soldier robots unbeatable

    • Increased bleed damage by +40%

• Demoman

  • The Loose Cannon
    • Removed:
      • Robot knockback reduction
    • Added:
      • On Hit: Robot take reduced knockback from cannon balls for 3 seconds.
        • This makes it so you can get full knockback on the robot on the first, but spamming it will result in the robot taking permanent less knockback. This applies to all loose cannons so you can't stack first shots on it to get major knockback

• Soldier

  • Airstrike
    • Changed:
      • Increased Max Bonus Clip from 8 to 16
    • Fixed:
      • Critical damage only counting the base damage when building up 250 damage for a bonus clip

• Scout

  • Force-A-Nature
    • Added:
      • +40 bonus upward push force when penetrating robots
        • For some reason this is a bug, where if the robot is shot by themselves it don't apply right, but if the penetration shot hits more than one robot, the pushback is added somehow, it's not a bug, it's a feature!"

• Pyro

  • Backscratcher:
    • Added:
      • While Active: +50% melee damage resistance

• Heavy

  • Fists of Steel
    • Added:

Robots

• Astrobot

  • Changed:
    • Reduced health from 3000 to 1750
  • Removed:
    • Heal On Kill
  • we see that robots that have mobility scales way better than the rest with health, so a nerf to this extremely mobile disruptor was needed

• Mortar Mack

  • Added:
    • -20% damage penalty vs players
      • This makes pipes deal 80 damage instead of 100
    • Changed:
      • Increased projectile deviation from +7* to +11*
        • This combined with the damage reduction makes you able to survive a face blast at slightly further away than before. Also reduces the consistency of the bot at mid to long ranges while still being as lethal up close.

• Fat Magic

  • Changed:
    • Reduce piss swim from 7 to 5 seconds

Backend

Robots

• Pyros

  • Removed:
    • 500% base health heal on kill
      • This was just a bad suggestions, pyros get their sustain from extinguishing, and we should limit self healing greatly in this mode, keep it to only specific weapons, otherwise medics should be the healers

• Laugh Extractor

  • Changed:
    • Reduced spook duration from 3 to 1.5 seconds

• Ivory

  • Changed:
    • Increased firing speed bonus from +20% to +30% faster

• Carbine Cassidy

  • Added:
    • +10% faster firing speed
      • The default cleaners carbine firing speed is too slow

• Death Negator

  • Added:
    • Teleporter particle effects when target is being negated death
    • +35% Move speed bonus based on uber
      • Reattach healing to get the buff, or switch weapons, as the attribute is meant for overdose, it doesn't auto update when on the medigun
  • Changed:
    • Reduced damage threshold on death negating from 250 to 50
      • This means while uber is active and for the duration after, health can't drop below 50
    • Reduced post uber death negating duration from 8 to 3 seconds
  • Removed:
    • 100% faster uber build rate

Robots

• Spitfire

  • Removed from roster:
    • After the 64bit update, hitscan no longer triggers fire with the attribute for some reason

• Terminator

  • Added:
    • On Locking on Target: Gain Speed boost
      • Being able to be a bit faster when looking at your target, AND showcasing who you are looking at with minicrit should make this a double edged sword and more fun for both sides

    • Fire rate back to normal cleaner carbine

  • Removed:
    • Mini-crits burning enemies

• Terminator

  • Changed:
    • Reduced healing per player from 166 to 50
    • Looking at target gives the crit-a-cola condition
      • This is to make it easier to see if you are the target if the Terminator is looking at you
    • Reduced base health from 1500 to 1100
      • Since Terminator is smaller, he doesn't need as much health as his smaller size makes him take less overall damage
  • Removed:
    • -75% sentry damage resistance
    • Looking at target: Speedboost
      • The removal of the speedboost is to give some consistency in how the terminator operates

• Carbine Cassidy

  • Changed:
    • Reduced fire rate bonus to penalty from +25% faster to -25% slower
      • The slower firing speed is meant to increase the skill needed to get value out of this robot
    • Reduced damage bonus vs players from +80% to +40%
      • This makes it so overhealed heavies no longer die to a single volley

    • No longer gives on kill reward when a spy deadringers

Robots

• Carpet Bomber

  • Changed:
    • Reduced bomb count from 6 to 5
    • Increased cluster bomb base damage from 200 to 250
      • The damage is way less than this in game due to how projectile dmg scaling works

• Terminator

  • Changed:
    • Adjusted hud to be further on the left and a bit higher up
    • Reduced health from 3000 to 1500 to compensate for new health scaling

• Hammerhead

  • Changed:
    • Reduced faster reload speed bonus from +25% to +20% faster
    • Reduced weapon spread bonus from +40% to +30% more accurate
    • Increased damage penalty vs buildings form -75% to -85%
    • Hammerhead's speed combined with accurate damage output has been very good, with very few players actually playing the bot. Reducing these stat should help with fighting the bot as the bot needs to be a bit closer and is way less effective vs buildings. Where in the past the overall DPS made it not matter

• Pilgrim

  • Changed:
    • Reduced movement speed from +10% to normal pyro speed
    • Reduced damage bonus vs players from +50% to +15%

• Fatmagic

  • Changed:
    • Reduced jarate swim duration from 8 to 7 seconds
    • Reduced jarate recharge speed from +60% to +40% faster

• Mortar Mack

  • Changed:
    • Reduced projectile spread angle from 10* to 7*
      • This makes the shot not as wide
    • Increased reload speed penalty from -270% to -300% slower

• Saxtron Hale

  • Changed:
    • Boss cost to 1 after it being set to 12 by fat fingers

• Loch'N Larry

  • Changed:
    • Reduced damage vs players from -30% to -50%
      • Larry was a sentry buster that was also a human buster, while keeping his insane splash radius, a volley will now do 150 if all hits connect, making overheal targets live where they would previously die. Making him more of a sentry focused than an everything focused bot

• Dr Grordbot

  • Changed:
    • Ability:
      • Reduced cooldown from 50 to 25 seconds

Removed from Roster

• Demopan
  • This boss robot has not really been that interesting considering he plays exactly like all of the other melee robots and now that we have Saxtron Hale, this boss falls within the same playstyle, so we opt to have the option of a distinct movement based brawler, instead of a charge based one

    • Converted from plugin to CFG format
      • This makes them show up on the wiki

• Barricade

  • Changed:
    • Reduced bonus upgrade rate from +700% to +100%
  • Removed:
    • +900% faster building build rate
    • These changes makes it so that barricade takes longer to set up and fully upgrade a lvl 3 sentry, giving more time for counterplay by the humans

• Hammerhead

  • Changed:
    • Increased damage penalty vs buildings from -50% to -75%
      • This was adjusted to compensate for the tighter spread, move speed and faster firing rate, making this scout but extremely effective vs buildings

• Solar Light

  • Changed:
    • Reduced move speed penalty from -25% to -15%

• Bazzoka Joe 2002

  • Changed:
    • Reduced firing speed bonus from +65% faster to +50% faster

  • Changed:
    • Increased negate death condition from 1 second to 8 seconds
      • This means each time you flash someone, they have the condition for 8 seconds. Also when you run out of uber you will negate death for 8 seconds as well

Humans

• Heavy
  • Miniguns:
    • Changed:
      • Increased damage penalty from -20% to -40%
        • Due to the size of robots, heavies have insane DPS even with a -20% damage decrease. -40% should feel better now that we are tweaking the robot health numbers with lower player counts
      • Changed damage penalty to attribute instead of hard coding it, making it show up on !mystats command window

Humans & Robots

• MvM Medic Shield
  • Changed:
    • Shield damage reduced to 0

Robots

• Robot Economy

  • Robots no longer keep the paid robots between rounds

• Sentry Buster

  • Added:
    • On Spawn: All enemy sentries are permanently outlined and visible to everyone. Outline is only removed upon destruction.

• Carbine Cassidy

  • Changed:
    • Increased movespeed penalty from -10% to -30%
  • Added:
    • -50% slower reload speed penalty
      • In certain player counts, Cassidy has little to no counterplay due to his speed and insane potential DPS if the player is good, lowering the speed and reload time to more minic the bolt action snipers while still maintaining his core design

• Quick Shielder

  • Changed:
    • Reduced self heal tick from 20 to 5
    • Increased slower shield build time from -25% slower to -60% slower
      • This will make him have way less shields and leave him open for more pressure

• Robot Spies

  • Added:
    • -25% fire damage vulnerablity
      • Robot spies are fast enough to really not care about being on fire, this change makes it so that the pyro can more easily dispose of out of position spies before they get away for free

• Mr Paladin

  • Changed:
    • Reduced health from 1200 to 900
    • Reduced health on kill from 10x to 5x

• Stabby Stabby

  • Changed:
    • Reduced health from 1200 to 900

• Robot Heavies, Firelord

  • Changed:
    • Reduced base health by 1080 HP
  • Added:
    • Health Bonus Per Player: 60
    • This should help with heavy stacking in low to mid player counts, while letting the heavies be almost as close as tanky as they were previously in a full server

Attributes

• Teamporter

  • Bugfix:
    • Fixed a bug that triggered the teleporting under incorrect conditions

Humans

• Engineer & Soldier

  • Electric Weapons:
    • Added:
      • Now drains active banners similarly to rage and mvm shield.
        • This means that the drain only happens when the effect is active, building banner or keeping it at 100% will not get any drain

  • Added:

  • Removed:
    • Stickies detonate stickies
  • This bot remained in an undiscovered OP spot, this change is geared towards locking down areas quickly, without using him as other Stickylauncher robots

• Fatmagic

  • Changed:
    • -10% slower Movespeed penanalty to 15% faster move speed bonus
    • Change effect of getting Jarated from speedboost to piss swimming

• Carbine Cassidy

  • Changed:
    • Increased move speed penalty from -30% to -40% slower
    • Reduced firing speed bonus from +35% to +15% faster
  • With the no flinch buff, this robot has been very oppressive, as it was basically Call of Duty on steroids in TF2, these changes is to make him stay in a spot that is between scoping and noscoping sniper

Adjusted several robot health scaling

The robot health scaling is difficult to anticipate as it's highly reliant on player skill. These are the current adjustments, the 18 player shows how much health the bot has on a full server. For now I've decided that no bot other than the tankiest boss shall go avove 9k health.

Robot Health Rework

Below are the updated health values and previous health values for this patch. Some robots have lower base health now, but will scale better the more humans are present

Backend

• Added Native Votes for map voting
• Fixed a logic error that made robots take normal damage instead of reduced damage when teams are favored for humans
• Adjusted low power damage factor from 14 to 15. This means human damage scaling is a bit weaker, which hopefully should result in better low power games.
• Restructured some of the human stats, making it easier to generate wikipedia pages in an upcoming update

Melee Bots Damage penalty vs buildings reasoning

• From testing we see that faster melee robots have needs to have higher damage reduction vs buildings. As they scale differently, they can in many mid to low player scenarios just simply walk up to an engineer and kill him and destroy everything with little to no effort. With the increase in penalty vs buildings the time needed and health lost when committing to destroying builds should be more balanced.
