Remain at Medium to Long range to engage these enemies with complete impunity. They have a tendency to drop battery packs, scrap and logic probes, so they're a good source of energy ammunition and credits.įor that reason, a hoarding player might consider delaying deactivating robot production in Level 2: Research, which will allow them to easily farm for batteries and logic probes. These enemies are easily defeated using small firearms, such as the minipistol loaded with 9mm Standard ammo, or the SparqBeam. Their tendency to explode when hit with hard-hitting weapons (SparqBeam Overcharge for example) can be exploited if the maintenance-bot is close to another enemy as the explosion will damage them too.

The small size of these bots also means they can squeeze themselves into crawl-ways and ventilation shafts alike.

These enemies float, and as such will follow the player if they attempt to escape via high-ground. While it looks similar to a SparqBeam shot, it's range is rather short, comparable to the Repair-Bot's flamethrower. It's preferred form of attack is a short-range energy weapon, fired in single shots. The maintenance bot is a relatively small, floating enemy.
