How to Kill Robots in Atomfall

Here's how to kill Robots in Atomfall: attack their weak points until they overheat or explode. Although you can destroy a B.A.R.D. Robot, it's best to let it overheat so you can steal its Atomic Battery.

There are essentially two kinds of B.A.R.D. Robots in Atomfall: Machine Gun Types and Flamethrower Types. The Machine Gun Types tend to be somewhat more vulnerable, but they can attack you at much greater ranges. The Flamethrower Types are more heavily armored, but they can only attack at closer ranges.

There are three vulnerable points on all B.A.R.D. Robots — regardless of their type — as shown in the image above:

1. Their optical sensors
2. Their Atomic Battery
3. Their weapons and fuel tanks

Shooting a B.A.R.D. Robot in the optical sensors (that is, its "eyes") will cause it to be blinded and make it more difficult to target you. A few more shots and the Robot will begin to overheat. You can also induce an overheat by attacking other areas of the Robot such as its weapon or, in the case of the Flamethrower Type, its fuel tanks.

If you shoot the Atomic Battery instead, though, a B.A.R.D. Robot will instantly explode after a few shots. This causes a massive explosion which destroys the B.A.R.D. Robot, but you lose the opportunity to steal its Atomic Battery.

Your best bet is to carefully shoot the B.A.R.D. Robot in the eyes with a pistol or rifle. As soon as it overheats, run up behind it and steal its Atomic Battery before it cools down.

If you can manage to snag the Atomic Battery, that particular B.A.R.D. Robot will be disabled for the rest of the game and you can use the Atomic Battery to open up some new areas in The Interchange.
